TT vs Sherman

[mission]

I keep trying to update it but a user named "APB<3sherm" keeps undoing the changes. I am considering submitting it to mediation.

Yes - and everyone agreed that it was definitive proof, at last, that Sherman is the worst coach in the history of football.

And there it is.

Who's gonna do the Wikipedia entry?

thanks anyway!

sherman left us with no depth and drove us into salary cap hell

TT has got us out of cap hell, and put us in cap heaven, but now he doesn't want to do anything with it

both have their faults, but their faults were like polar opposites of each other

I don't credit TT with getting us out of cap hell because the cap increased how many millions of dollars, in '06, I think? I even wonder if good ol' Sherm would have us maxed to the cap with how high the cap is these days. Yeah, probably!!

True, but remember with an increased cap comes increased salary's. It's still not easy to have tons of cap room. Although it does seem like more teams have room than in the past. But I think that has more to do with teams getting smarter then the increased cap.

Hence, Ted got us out of cap hell.

That is true GBR, but no one knew what the number was going to be, or even if there would be a CBA.

Regardless of the eventual cap number, his savings allowed the Packers to front load most of their big, new deals (Woodson, Pickett, Kampman) which meant that regardless of the future CBA number, the Packers wouldn't carry a large amount of dead money and had a tremendous amount of flexibility in deciding who to keep. Almost every Packer at this point could be released without a devastating cap hit.

If I was a player's agent that wouldn't be comforting. But for the coaches and personnel guys, that's a great thing.

If Sherman was still here, we'd still be overpaying Sharper. Wahle would have been restructured (not such a bad thing). Favre would still be here. Longwell would still be here. Lots of other good young players wouldn't be here. Many of our vets would have had their season salaries guaranteed so we could spread the hit out just like a signing bonus. In other words their cap hits for this year would be paying for their salaries from 06 and 07. We still have all kinds of dead money - a Shermy salary cap staple. And the Packers would make Dan Snyder look like a tightwad.

And the resurgent Packers would have gone 8-8 last year.
