Impatience. Irrationality. Just generally wanting to be really really good immediately and if someone isn't, it somehow seems easy to them to just keep replacing them until the guy you got instead is good. Could you imagine cutting a LT prospect year two for like...who was guy 53 last year? like Perillo. Cut Spriggs for Justin perillo. Like they don't want to do that..They just somehow think if you cut guys who haven't met their expectations magically a guy will show up and be great. If the guy that left ends up good, you win twice because you can whine over that too lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't mean we shouldn't be aware of it. People are irrationally entitled everywhere. Especially online. It's like the internet's hobby. The point isn't to shame packers fans. The point is to make light of how short sighted it is to want all these guys cut so early with so much evidence that you should probably be more patient.

I think the bigger problem would be them releasing a player prematurely, only to see them turn out to be a decent player. That's why Spriggs can look as bad as he does, and he's still probably not in jeopardy of being released. You don't release players on rookie contracts until their on the outside looking in when you're talking about numbers. There's no way you can argue that there are three OL that are clearly better than Spriggs aside from the starting OL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
