[QUOTE="adambr2, post: 492505, member: 7277"] The thing is, there are 31 teams out of 32 that are disappointed at the end of an NFL season. No matter what you do, the odds are great that you're going to be one of those teams. The best you can do is try to give yourself a chance every year, which we do. You can be the best team on paper in March, and it doesn't matter. Ask the Eagles how that worked out for them. Now they're in a mess worse than where they were 2 years ago. You can't build an NFL team like you build a fantasy football team. Team chemistry still matters in the NFL, it doesn't matter in fantasy. As for your specific position concerns: LT - They have already discussed moving Bulaga to LT. Sherrod was a 1st rounder and should finally be fully healthy. May be addressed through the draft as well. There are options. S - Jennings and McMillian did as well as could have been expected last year, and it's entirely possible one takes a big leap this year. Still may be addressed through FA or draft. Backup QB - Who? If Rodgers goes down, do you really think a guy like Jason Campbell is going to save us? Do you think he could even adequately pick up the offense by then? OLB - They have a lot invested in Nick Perry and he did show some promise before going down. He will get every chance to be the guy, as well he should. He certainly has the physical tools and you don't give up on your 1st round pick after a few games. DE - Will most likely be addressed through the draft. A lot of big fat men in this draft. It's a long shot, but if Jolly can still show some relative skills, he could be some nice depth. RB - Harris showed nothing but promise, even against defenses like the 49ers. I would like to see them add a power back, but they could sign Benson for the minimum and still go into this season better off with Benson/Harris than they were going into last season. There's still some guys out there -- Turner, Bradshaw, Hillis...etc. Even if they don't, we are a pass-first team, always will be. We didn't win the Super Bowl in 2010 on a running game. Truth be told, we haven't had a consistent running game since Ahman Green. Even if some of these positions are still question marks going into the season -- there isn't a team out there that can ever say they are "set" at every position and have absolutely no need of upgrades. There aren't enough financial resources to do so, and even if there were, there are no guarantees. You can't plan for injuries or disappointment. You do the best you can and try to put yourself in the best position to win year after year. Thompson is doing that and always has. He isn't relaxing at his house until the draft like so many people envision him doing. [/QUOTE]
