Comparing the rosters (When TT took over to now)

[retailguy]

Can't wait to see the egg on the doubters faces. If they can't see what happened yet, they'll never see it.

:P You can't be serious.

Here's the 2001 roster that was handed to Shermhead. There is nothing more to say. Every person in this room knows why the teams of the early 2000's were successful.

Ted is still getting more production out of 33-35 year old players left to him from Wolf than he did in half a decade of Shermsaster.

That would be the same team that Ray Rhodes took to 8-8 and got canned after one season, right?

Remember your mea culpa?

Keep digging, chum :P

Keep digging, chump :P

My mea culpa was followed by 6-10...

also - you never have acknowledged the difference in the philosopy between what Sherman was drafting for, and what Thompson was drafting for. The goals were different, and thus the method was different.

rand sums it up well.

But if you can't see that now, then I guess you'll never see it, now will you?

Whatever, chum :P

Have a good day, retail. We've been here before. Pretend i didn't respond to your jab.

Okay, you two knuckleheads. You disagree. Let's leave it at that.

You both make good points, I think. Different strategies, different ideas - Shermy seemed to think he had to do it right now (and who is to say he was right or not?) and TT seems to be working for the long term. Both approaches can be frustrating especially if one style does not fit your own style.

Few people would say the Packer roster now is not fairly strong. Many of us are excited about the coming season. But as MM has said, success is the hardest thing to handle. Let's see if this team starts reading the press clippings or if this team is hungry for a Super Bowl.

And as Packer fans, we all hope that the injury bug doesn't hit us too bad this year.

You mean my initial response to your jab?

Ok, that works.

Agree with you Fritz, except for the injury part. We should be able to sustain injuries (well a normal amount anyhow) if the "depth" is as good advertised...

There is no reason that this should not be an excellent team, and I like the prospects, as long as we are not slow getting out of the gate again...

Woodson and Pickett (and Chillar - LOL) are not enough for 6 years of FA and pro player acquisitions. TT needs to do more to fill holes and win now.

TT's brought more impact through UFA than Shermhead ever did. Woodson alone is better than the combined UFA impact in Sherhead's whole GM career.

I agree with JH, but I wanted to ask who TT should have recruited as a FA that would have been good value, a good locker room fit and willing to come to GB?

The people screaming for TT to do better in FA need look only to Chicago to get an idea of how not to build a sustainable, successful NFL roster. Personally, I am delighted TT doesn't break the bank on any one player.

If anything, TT should have, in my humble opinion, taken a few 2011 picks and drafted a couple of blue chippers in rounds one and 2 of the 2010 draft. If he'd have come away with for starting calibre rookies instead of the couple he seems to have gotten, it might have made more sense for this season.

That's true.

We'll see how it all plays out.
