[QUOTE="El Guapo, post: 604400, member: 5830"] So you guys wanted the GM to promote one specific player off of the practice squad just because there was an open roster spot? THAT'S LUDICROUS!!! He could have randomly picked any of the guys on the practice squad. There were no indications that Rolle should have been that player. In fact, with our depth he would have been the last guy that I would have promoted to the game day roster. All of this on top of the fact that if the Packers got an injury, they would need to use that open roster spot to fill a need. Since Rolle already had one accrued season (2013) on the practice squad if he spent much time on the 45-man roster, he wouldn't have been eligible to go back to the practice squad. So had an injury occurred, we needed a spot, but TT had needlessly promoted Rolle to the roster without a clear need or known offer from another team, 99% of the people in this forum would have crucified him for making a stupid move. What Thompson could have done different was the roster at the end of camp. However, as we saw due to the Goodson injury, the call wasn't as simple as deciding which player was better. There is a lot of arm-chair GMing going on here. Some of it is warranted but most is overblown. In retrospect, yeah it would be great to still have Rolle but there was no clear-cut answer at the time. [/QUOTE]
