Just how hard is it to get a linebacker with the trifecta of playing skills: coverage, run-stopping, and pass rush.
The most complete linebacker the Packers have had in recent memory was Nick Barnett in this regard. None of our current LB's really have the whole package. The only accolade Barnett received was 2nd team All-Pro in 2007. In this regard I feel he was underrated.
Does the fact we don't have linebackers with plus skills in all three components fall more at the feet of Ted Thompson or the coaching staff?
