[QUOTE="Thirteen Below, post: 1050932, member: 18006"] This is an absolutely extraordinary post. In all honesty, I can't say I agree with every word of it, but the parts where I don't necessarily see it the same way are nowhere near enough to undermine my appreciation of it. I guess the best way to put it is that my opinion of the topic differs a little from yours at some points, but my evaluation of the data does not. Thanks for all of that. But.... Totally onboard with that... But the problem I have with this part is that at some point in the next 1-2 years (and certainly within the next 2-3), this group is [I]going [/I]to be subtracted from. We can't avoid it. We're going to have to make contract decisions, and some of these guys are going to have to leave as free agents because we're going to have to make payroll decisions. And there are some in that group who we really don't have enough information to assess their top end. Because they just didn't get enough snaps to fully develop their potential. Next year, we're going to have consider second contractys for last year's draft class. Green Bay is stingy on second contracts with players who haven't fully displayed their potential, and they're going to have limited options for how to spend their money. When it comes time to re-up next season, it's probable that guys like Heath and Melton won't have had enough opportunities to show that they deserve to get as much from Green Bay as they're probably going to be offered by other teams. So by next year, we're going to be losing some of these guys to other teams. A shrewd asset managing GM would be making those decisions now, or at least starting to make them. Maybe trade one or two of our mid-tier WRs soon for a positional need, and create more space for Heath and Melton to step up. I sometimes wonder if the Packers are sort of holding those two in reserve to some degree, expecting that as they get more snaps they will be able to step up and replace one or two of the guys who are gettiing more snaps in case we move those guys.
