The Packer Plan - Looking Ahead

[The Shadow]

It's only possible, I think, to paint a strategic picture using broad strokes.
The fine-tuning moves - assistant coaching changes, for example - are impossible to accurately predict.

We won!

Please refer to the 07 section of the original post.

After watching Sunday's game, does anyone have a different opinion?

I think if he keeps having as much fun as he did out there yesterday, it won't matter whether he reaches his milestones or not. He talks like he'll be around, the team talks like he'll be around and he won't discuss it with the media, thank you Brett for small favors. I see no reason to believe he won't until BRETT says otherwise.

Good Post Shadow; the pro TT guys will definitely like the details as well. You have more faith than I do; I'm not sure TT has an exact plan with the exception 100% rebuilding. In this day and age if one uses free agency I'm not convinced that has to occur.

I agree B...

I don't think TT has a direct plan. He kind of takes advantage of each situation in front of him and believes that good choices *cap, talent, ect..* build up to a great team. A part of me thinks that in his 3rd year he'll strech a little more and grab a bigger player.

We have too much money to spend. I have a good feeling we're going to go after Thomas Jones. We'll see though..That is way out on a limb. How can you pick one player this far in advance. I just think he's a good player and a guy that would fit well here. Also, he's on a team that might consider him expendable. We'll see though.

I wouldn't be

I keep hoping that the "Carolina model" (NFC championship game in 2 yrs') can still be achieved.

In order to do that, you've got to be well-versed in the vet FA market. TT has shown the vet FA market is over his head and against his religion or something.

We are gonna have to improve the talent on this team and soon, or it's gonna be a horror show.

Yup. It's called. I want to win a Super Bowl and get that ring.

If Ted Thompson can't have it all in place, in three-four seasons (including now ) the really good or developed players, will depart for Teams... that offer them that reality promise of that ring.

Where the scenario supplied by " the Shadow " is weak, is the doubt that exists. That Aaron Rodgers may not be the Guy.

Does smart QB = Super Bowl bound QB ?

Smart has to come with REAL talent and HEART.

Is that Aaron Rodgers?

Of course, John Hadl is always a fallback position, too.
How old will he in 08?

Let's not make the same trade as we did for Hadl.
