TT, love him or hate him, let's debate em!!

[MadtownPacker]

Can I can a round of GM strength KoolAid?

[MJZiggy]

Can I have a middle ground please? How 'bout a cautiously optimistic? Given the two choices only, I'd have to go for Love him because he is cleaning up Sherman's Lagoon.

[jack's smirking revenge]

I think we need an "on-the fence" option. I don't love him or hate him yet.

Remember....I'm the "advocate patience" guy...

The man has deep pockets, and he doesn't like to take risks even when he has the bank roll to back it up. It can stick in your craw at times, but it is the right approach to get the depth of this roster back on track. When the team truly has solid core of quality players, then it is time to make your push, that is the point where you go get the last puzzle pieces with the lure of a chance to go to a Super Bowl, that is when you land that big Lunker of a free agent.

Spot on, Nutz.

Everyone - look at the Steelers last year as a model of good drafts. Look at the run Denver tried to make after a few years of solid drafts. Another year or two and then we look for the dimonds.

One diamond would sure be nice, though. I suppose when you have to bring in 27 punters and kickers to try and find the one or two talented ones then you have to be more cautious though.

So far to me TT is an absolutely piece of rotton shit if you want to win asap.

The jury is out as to whether the smell will get better.

[oregonpackfan]

On a scale of 1 to 5, I would have to rank TT a "too" for "Too" early to evaluate his effectiveness.

I want to see his next draft and see how the Packers fare this season before I give a judgment one way or the other about him.

First of all, thanks for having me over here. It will be nice to kick it with you all.

Anyways, I still feel you have to give the guy another year or two. I am putting my faith in him that he actually has a plan (God I hope he has plan!)

If after 2-3 years of having the job, we see no improvement in the team, The guy should be dragged out of lambeau by his finger nails.

[swede]

Yeah. I said I'm in love.

But I'm waiting to be jilted and find out that the frosty coldness of his polar mind is really slow-moving glacial inactivity for inactivity's sake. Then I will be sad that my true love was not what he seemed to be, and a weasel at that.

Mostly I love his hair.

[Scott Campbell]

I think it's way too early to say. I think most of the critisism is premature. But the bottom line is 4-12. He's got to improve this team dramatically.

That was fuckin' funny swede!

Sadly, I love his hair too...

Last year it was evident that there was one move or combo of moves that resonated with the fans. Wahle walked and was replaced by Klemm. On the good side, he brought in Gado.

So, so far this year, what do you think his big coup was and his worst moment?

[jack's smirking revenge]

I don't think people can say that he hasn't been active. Perhaps he should be titled as taking more "financially-calculated risks" than many other GMs.

Pete Dougherty made an interesting comment in his chat about teams that have "bought their way" to the SB. There hasn't been any. The thrifty and cost-conscious teams, like the Pats and the Steelers, have been there of late. Football isn't like Baseball, where deep pocket teams can buy their way to the big game. Football financials are titled toward big-market teams, but there are too many players on an NFL team for a single franchise to buy their way to the big game. I support Ted's direction of trying to build the best team possible while watching the checkbook. There will be opportunities to use the cap space during the season.

I think T.T. is doing a good job so far. Just my opinion though.. He is what he is. I've thought all along that he has 4 or 5 top free agents in mind and is gonna stick with his plan not to over pay and pick up second level guys to build depth. I hope it works out.
