QB Leverage

[pbmax]

you don't think he would like to see some Cook types at other positions where they're sub-par? 'all-in to win' isn't aimed at the coaches. it's not aimed at the players. it could ONLY be aimed at TT who's consumed by saving money...cheap and young.

Allow me to clarify. Yes, he would like another Cook or Peppers type signing to help the team (esp. defense). Probably wants the vets resigned. But this is close to how Ted operates now, see below.

Whether he wants Ted to do this each year OR sign multiple FAs like New England does (each year a couple of guys $5 mil/year and below) is another matter. The board largely would approve this, not sure Rodgers does.


*Forgetting rebuilding Sherman's O line, Ted has signed Manuel, Chillar, Walker, Woodson, Pickett, Ben Taylor, Saturday, Boerigter, Duke Preston, Hargrove and I think its only fair to count Guion and Peppers. That is 12 players over 12 years and I am intentionally omitting the Sherman year because it might not have been what Thompson would do normally. And I think we are forgetting a street free agent or two.

What most Packers fans want is MORE of them and for more of them to be successful. The problem is that the failure rate is probably 50% across the League. Not sure if Rodgers means what Bretsky thinks he means.

Problem is finding guys like Peppers and Cook on the market is rare. Most have bigger holes and most only want to be paid.

when i speak of cook-type i mean as far as team impact goes...not how much they cost. impact of a top 10 FA is pretty much guaranteed. you have to pay more but to hell with that. all-in! make it happen!

Glad to know that all that has to happen is Thompson to call up the FA of his choice and they agree to sign on the spot. TT get on this please.
