[QUOTE="adambr2, post: 491594, member: 7277"] #1 - You are vastly overrating some (not all) names on your list to support your argument. I never said Peterson hasn't run behind some good O-lines, but to be giving them the credit for his success is ridiculous. Peterson is a special back and would be one of the top RB's in the game no matter where he was. This is like saying Rodger's owes all the credit for his success to his receivers. #2 - They were 11th in passing D last year. They also had FOUR corners in the top 25 of passes defended, no other team had more than 2. Yes, it is a relative strength, regardless of your cherry picked stats. Almost any team has a list of WR's that they gave up 100+ yards to, that's why they are #1 WR's. Also, just like 2011, we normally played from ahead -- so passing statistics against us are often inflated. #3 - I don't buy the "we have 3 really great WR's in our division, we NEED Revis" argument. This could be said about almost any division. The East has Bryant, Cruz, Austin, and Nicks. The South has White, Julio Jones, Colston, and Vincent Jackson. The West has Fitzgerald and Crabtree. Yes, it's the NFL, there are a lot of good WR's. #4- A shutdown corner would be very helpful to any team. So would another elite pass rusher. Or an elite running back. There are a lot of good players out there that could make us better. #5 - I would bet a lot that this is not even being seriously considered by the Packers FO. This is not happening, no matter how badly you might want it to. It would require a complete policy shift by Ted Thompson -- and no, Woodson isn't a comparable argument. It's just not going to happen. [/QUOTE]
