So who thinks TT is actually doing a good job now?

[Tony Oday]

I do not see a lot of detractors of TT anymore. I see some disagreements but not the red hate that I saw at about this time last year

think he is going about it the right way now or if not how would you change what he is doing?

[Partial]

Well, I will give him credit for keeping his guys and front loading their deals. I won't give him credit for keeping us so far below the cap, and for his drafts just yet.

I hope he has a great draft this year, then i'll be a believer.

[red]

we're out of cap hell, and he seems to be doing a good job of keeping it that way. and this team is young and seems to be on the upswing. so i gotta give him credit for that

there are things from time to time that really piss me off about him though. like us losing our top 3 or 4 rb's or wr's and instead of signing someone who has a little talent to fill in, he goes for some guy thats never been drafted and only spent 2 days in someones camp.

that ticks me off

i'll hold off on calling him a genius until we win a big game against a good team, and make it back to the playoffs

[Packnut]

Soon

I think we'll have a very good indication of the answer to question with-in the coming weeks.

TT has done ok but he needs to draft better - too many misses and not enough playmakers. Third time (draft) lucky?

[Brando19]

Well I think the opposite. I think TT drafts really well...I just think the man sucks in Free Agency. We need to land a big un in the next couple weeks.

What? TT's last draft was excellent. Along with Hawk and Jennings, it looks like TT fixed our O-line and we have some decent, not great, depth at the position.

The draft before that is so hard to read. A-Rod was the right choice but his grade is incomplete. Collins was a good pick and Underwood was playing lights out before his injury.

I think TT has drafted very well. He needs a PLAYMAKER on O this offseason I agree.

Free Agency equals fools gold. Just ask the Redskins or Cowboys. Build from the ground up. Sign a big FA to fill one hole after we are playoff ready.

Agree, plus theres are no big ones this year. TT needs have a big draft.

The jury is still out on his drafts. But the last draft had better be excellent, considering the draft position (#5 in every round) and giving away Walker for a #2. With an 8-8 record and an improving team, the Packers may not have a #5 pick for the forseeable future (that's good), so they have to get a lot from that draft, including a game-changer (hopefully Hawk).

The first success we need in FA is to keep our own guys. Check Jenkins off that list. (yessss!)

Next sign Ahman to a realistic deal after he's had a chance to shop, but this is where TT will drive us crazy. He is way more likely to let AG be overpaid somewhere else than pay too much to keep him here. I think AG and TT are going to play a little game of chicken and I expect AG will test the waters and get offers. It would not shock me to see us lose AG because of the business end of the game.

Also, I'm hoping for a good TE in FA. That would probably be better than a drafted TE because there'd a better chance for good production in the first year with the Packers.

Sooo...

Jenkins = check

Ahman = probably check

Good FA TE = I'm hoping

[Chester Marcol]

I like what I see so far, but the jury is still deliberating for at least one more season. The first test I wanted to see passed was to raise the average talent level of the team. I think he did well with that. We were a pretty good mediocre team, maybe one of the best.

Now, the next test is 2 tiered. Continue upgrading the core through our young players improving and drafting some more diamonds in the rough. Secondly, I think it's time to start adding play makers. Like others have said, it didn't make alot of sense to spend a ton of many on super stars without the core being solid. Those type of players could have actaully harmed our development before things started to click last year. I feel we are close enough to find players with more short term benefits. Someone who can help this year and next. Just the fact of signing a playmaker won't be considered a success. We don't want a Owens situation. If TT lands a "Packer Person" or 2 thats a difference maker, I'll bump myself up to the 75 percentile in the satisfaction pie chart.

[MJZiggy]

I'm with you there, Chester, but didn't TT say in one of the articles (or at least it was implied) that this was the case. It will be very interesting to see what he does over he next couple of weeks. I have always thought TT was moving in the right direction. It's interesting to look back at FA and see some of the moves that everyone wanted but didn't work out and look at what the end result would have been. I, for one, wanted Arrington here.

[GBRulz]

I agree with alot of what Red said. I'm tired of signing Taco Wallace type players to fill our roster. I'm not saying break the bank, but I would like to see us a little more agressive with FA. Last year TT got involved too late. While I agree that the key to a good team is building through the draft, I think you need to compliment that as well with FA. Ron Wolf was a genius with that.

Sure we are out of cap hell, but we have 24 million to spend, let's get at least one playmaker for our offense this year!

[BooHoo]

Yes, let's spend some of the cap money and get a FA TE.
