Last week I urged the Packers to take a big swing in free agency this off-season, which generated sharp debate in the comment section, much of it negative. (Although my all-time favorite comment came last season, when a particularly eloquent gentleman wrote: “I fart in your direction, Jonathan.”)
Well, in the grand tradition of our civic discourse these days, I’m doubling down! Watching the Super Bowl convinced me even more that the Packers need to sign a top free-agent safety or linebacker. And since I enjoy thoughtful banter about Packer football, I thought I’d engage some of the criticisms of the idea, and refine my own arguments in the process.
