Five years ago we said Thompson seemed to have a plan to find real answers to problems rather than temporary fixes
Four years ago we said you can see the young talent showing signs and over the long term if we kept finding talent, it would start to steam roll as we resign the key players for less than UFA prices and then have even more money to tip the scales of greatness.
Three years ago we almost made the SB. We said TT was not showing ego with getting rid of Favre, but rather showing that he liked Aaron Rodgers and wanted him as our QB instead. We said we were surprised to see it peak this soon because we had more money to spend than just about any team in the league and our young talent was still too young really.
two years ago we started resigning key players. We said this is the window we were waiting for. 6-10 was a slump but it got us Raji and Clay and we still have boat loads of cash to get better.
One year ago we said we are one of the most talented teams in the entire NFL, we're still one of the youngest and still have a lot of room to keep spending. Kurt Warner said on NFLN that our team should have beat theirs 9 out of 10 times. They played a magical game, but he loved the Packer team (and this was earlier in the playhoffs before we won the SB). Warner knew what we had and so did some of McGinn's scouts.
This year we said our window was wide open again. IMO and i think several others, our best teams are still ahead of us. We win the SB. It's everything we expected and maybe more.
Through all of it the pessimists said we were drinking the kool aid. Cutler was as good as Rodgers. Our OL was too weak. Ted was too cheap and conservative to win. Ted could never win without Favre. Favre made this team what it was and on an on and on. . . . . .
Look how it panned out. Exactly like we though. And McGinn jsut came out with the Dynasty thing, but we've been talking here about this being the direction. If Ted's plan worked like we hoped, it wasn't going to be a one year wonder. It was going to be a several year window. I'm shocked we won it this year. I think our window is even wider open for the next three years.
