[QUOTE="pizzle, post: 785446, member: 12428"] I don't want to have my intelligence insulted. I don't want to be trolled. I don't want your bias/love for them to blind your judgement. I just want to have honest and real discourse on why for the past decade Green Bay has stuck by two players that have literally cost us Super Bowl opportunities. We know the backstory-in 2011 we had one of the worst defenses in football so in 2012 we drafted a DE out of USC to pair with another former USC DE at the OLB positions, the most important pass rush position in a 3-4 (and arguably in football, period). It has not worked. Over the past 3 years, there have been opportunities to replace/get rid of these two. Their have been a multitude and myriad of EDGE defenders in the draft available to either shore up the depth behind or flat out overtake their starting spots at OLB. And this off-season, when arguably the best, most complete EDGE rusher in pro ball is available via trade (a guy that body type wise IS A PROTOTYPICAL PASS RUSHING OLB) we don't sell the farm to bring him in to help our All-Universe QB. Instead, we let our arch-rival grab him right before we're about to open the season against them. WHY? Why doesn't the GB front office realize the reason why the Packers defense has been so bad for years is because THEY CAN'T GET TO THE QB WHEN IT MATTERS-not that they can't cover. Why haven't they admitted that Clay and Nick are mistakes, HUGE albatrosses that should have been removed? WHY IS GB SO STUBBORN ABOUT THEM WHEN ALL THE EVIDENCE POINTS TO THEM AS THE REAL PROBLEM BEHIND US NOT WINNING MORE THAN THE 1 SB WE DID IN 2010? [/QUOTE]
