This team clearly needs a rebuild, and since their window of opportunity with a franchise QB in place is closing fast, I am not in total favor of the patient approach through the draft.  If TT is not willing to plug some gaps via free agency, dump him.  To create some cap room, I'd let the following walk: Lacy (can't trust him to be available and stay in shape); Peppers (not much left - probably less next year), Shields (injury settlement - for the sake of his health); D. Jones (never amounted to anything); Perry (I think he is coming around but his asking price is going to be more than he is worth), Starks (nothing left - too slow and can't turn the corner).  I'd also consider trading Matthews since he is basically a part-timer every year because he is as fragile as a china doll.  

TT - or his replacement - needs to sign a solid corner, a deep threat receiver that can stretch the field;   a solid edge rusher;  re-sign Lang and Tretter; re-sign Cook or another TE who is a receiving threat; sign a reliable third down back (in the mold of Sproles) and use the draft to find a decent running back.

I just find it real odd how people are talking about rebuilding when the Packers are one of the youngest teams in the league

Well, if your young "talent" really isn't that at all, then I guess you have to rebuild.  Unless of course, you want to build around guys like, Gunter, Bradford, Brice, Hawkins, Perillo, Janis, et al.

Piece of cake.  Any GM, other than TT, should be able to do this with one eye tied behind his back.

Are you saying that there are not teams/gm's who pick up three free agents in the off season while keeping most of their own desirable free agents?

I'm saying your wish list would be like finding a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

40+ pts given up to the fking Titans and Redskins?

 

Just think about how it's going to feel when we give up 40+ to the Eagles with a rookie QB on a Monday Night!

Hey bdj.  Isn't this thread a hoot?  You have been, and still are, the worst ****ing poster this board has ever known.

Except for Tscmhack.

Tiebreaker is your mother is a whore.
