Patience with Players… Where Did It Go?

Patience with Players… Where Did It Go?
September 2nd, 2010 by Jeff Jackson

I’ve been doing some thinking lately about how we view the players, specifically ones that are on the Packers roster. It seems that if a player doesn’t move to a starting role within the first 2 years, he is considered a junk player and not worth keeping on the roster.
