Draft and Develop Theory Debunked Again

[Patler]

Let's also discuss the idea that a broken bone and surgery to fix it qualifies someone as soft.

He has soft bones.....or is it brittle bones?
Considering the broken bones suffered by Sherrod, Harrell, Spitz, Rodgers and so many more, I think it is clear that Thompson likes brittle players.

I said this to a woman I went out on a date with recently. I said, at the end of the night, "Look, I have needs, and you have needs. Can't we work something out?"

Like Ted Thompson, however, she was of a "draft and develop" mind. No quick fixes for her.

So she goes young. Damn cougars.

All that matters is TT has fielded one of the top 5 winningest teams in his time here and one super bowl. Everything else is back chatter.

The Packers have been successful despite TT, not because of him.

Then MM must be a miracle worker. TT gives him crap and somehow we get to the playoffs year after year and win a Super Bowl.

And who hired MM?

Actually the miracle worker is Rodgers. But even he can't keep pulling it off alone with TT and stubby as "help".

And who had the balls to draft Rodgers even tho he had the Iron Man at QB already?

And the circle argument with no end continues.

Right, because we all know that in a game played with 22 different players on offense and defense, with specialization creating "starters" of about 30 players for those 22 positions, and special teams having "starter" positions for another 5+ players or so, winning and losing is determined solely by one player at one position.

Not solely obviously....but in my opinion Aaron masks a lot of talent defiencies. He may go down as the greatest regular season qb of all time. With just mediocre qb play the last 5-6 years this team would be one of the worst in the league in my opinion. (not factoring in draft position improvement etc.) Do you disagree?

I agree that QB is the most impactful position, and it is more difficult to mask deficiencies at QB than it is at any other position, unless you can dominate on D and ST. I don't know if AR masks talent deficiencies any more than other topflight QBs do. Any team with a mediocre qb tends to be one of the worst in the league, unless of course they have a dominant D and STs.

If TT and MM have been as bad as some here suggest they have been, not AR, Tom Brady or any other great QB would have had them in the playoffs every year like the Packers have been.

hahahaha when you're right, you're right.

+1 I agree.

hahahaha when you're right, you're right.

One can make the same argument for the Patriots, Saints, Panthers, Steelers, etc. etc. I can go on and on.

[smuggler]

Basically a veiled shitpost.
