They have transitioned the team thru youth via the draft right out of the shoot when Thompson got here and drafted what? Eleven players his first year? You have McCarthy who seems to be fine with getting young players ready and not really looking at the fact some rookies will have to play. He expects them all to be ready AND he does a good job with his staff getting them ready.It's pretty remarkable, really, when you consider these guys went through the entire offense including the Oline, QB, RB's, actually everybody but Driver and Clifton. Yet we have one of the very best O's in football. Then, we go with the 3-4 on Defense that ended the marriage with our best D player in Kampman and a LOT of young guys have had to step up. Williams, Mathews, Raji, Shields, Burnett, Zombo & Company. All at one point with little to no NFL game time under their belts.  I mean the only players who actually got some "weening" time were Bishop and Rodgers. This is the main reason I am optimistic. Young players get better until they get too old to get better. We have a lot of those. Thompson's got this. McCarthy is good with it. The Packers are going to be fine.</blockquote>
