[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 681018"] Again, this is an analysis of performance and a reflection of your expectations, not what represents the evident plan. If the Packer brain trust ever shared this fan misconception, it was clearly abandoned at the time of the 2012 draft, with the first 6 picks on the defensive side, with the ante upped each succeeding year with high picks and higher pay. Clearly, Rodgers' pay has been no impediment to defensive investment. It may surprise some that Rodgers' cap hit ranks only 10th. in the league for this season, and only $2.25 mil above the 16th. ranked QB, if the obvious defensive investments were not enough: [URL]http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/rankings/quarterback/[/URL] The key to winning is having a roster play above their cap cost. The defensive side has been coming up short in recent years, however I remain optimistic: Against Detroit, Matthews, Shields, Burnett, Guion and Jones did not take a snap while Pennel remained on suspension. This represents nearly half the starting line up. Those first 5 players represent about $37.7 in 2016 cap cost or 54% of the total defensive cap cost, while also being a large swath of the veteran leadership. While this is certainly not a conventional way of looking at it, it is telling. This is the majority of the core defensive players and the lion's share of defensive investment. If these players return to health and the season is a failure, we can point to the defense. [/QUOTE]
