[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 780373"] First of all, in reference to the OP, if Colin Cowherd is correct about anything it is purely by random accident. This is the guy who said Rodgers would be leaving Green Bay evidently not realizing he has two years left on his contract nor understanding the franchise tag. Why people would listen to screamers like Cowherd or Stephen A. Smith is beyond me. Guys like this are walking, talking click bait, whether you click with a mouse or your TV remote. I'm not sure what the absense of a deep-pocketed owner has to do with it. There have been multiple stadium expansions, the team has spent up to the cap, and the Titletown district investments have been considerable. While plunking down a $100 million signing bonus might present cash management issues, that's a current development. I don't know what you mean by the "big four", but Green Bay being a small, cold weather city with an open air stadium may be a factor. It's hard to say not being in the room(s) but I suspect it presents some difficulties in attracting free agents. However, I don't see that as an overriding factor. There have been plenty of opportunities squandered. While the 2014 season may be most prominent in the memory, the Kaepernick romp-a-thon in the 2012 season was an equally historic collapse. Then you've got other freakish events, like Palmer being a split second from getting whacked in the 2015 season. Even in 2009, Rodgers missed Jennings running by a flat-footed free safety in OT; it could have as easily been AZ rueing Rackers shanking a 34 yarder to win in the 4th. Since 2009, there were 3 playoff OT losses; those teams did not lack for talent. Talent has been an issue in more recent years as highly paid stars have inched past their peaks while failing to stack drafts to compensate, with poor returns on draft capital expended on the defensive secondary.
