yeah, new guys gonna fit right in around here
satin give me strength
LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?
If the defense doesn't improve, Capers will be gone. I think that writing is on the wall from McCarthy's actions this offseason (e.g. taking more interest in the defense and not just giving Capers free reign).
"There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great. But quite frankly, most of the people that are commenting on it don't know anything about what they are talking about."--Ted Thompson
then when they DID get an all-world punter (hentrich) they let him get away.
Welcome and refreshing to hear after the gloom and doom of this thread. Is TT perfect, nobody is, are there better GM's in the league, several many would argue, but is TT one of the better GM's - absolutely.
Maybe a thread topic should be a ranking of the GM's in the NFL to put TT's accomplishments into perspective (good or bad). Outside of the Giant's and Steelers winning two Super Bowl's, I don't believe any team has won more than once since TT's arrival in 2005. Thus Jerry Reese and Kevin Colbert would have to be ranked highest. However the Giants appear to be feast or famine depending on which way the wind is blowing for Eli and the Steelers are in cap hell as of late.
Outside of that, the 49ers (Trent Baalke), Seahawks (John Schneider - TT disciple), and Belichick (Patriots) really no other GM comes to mind. Baalke has never won a SB, Schneider just won his first and so is par with TT now and Belichick although dominate in the years ago hasn't won a SB in a decade now.
At a minimum this leaves TT top ten and at least in my eyes, top five. Does he get a free pass for past laurels now, but this whining about his ability and inability to have the nuts to fire Capers seems forced.
Anyways, my soap box is done now.
60% of the time it works every time.
I'd agree that TT is hands down top ten
But don't buy for a second that we cant' find a good replacement so that is why I referenced Ron Wolf and implied we might be just fine after TT goes some day
I don't view Wolf or TT as one being much better than the other; I think they were both very good GM's with altering strategies and comforts for taking risks
