[QUOTE="P@ck66, post: 53484, member: 212"] I know exactly what TT is doing...(and unfortunately..it's not good) TT is using an "outdated model" of building a football team in the NFL. In the beginning of FA...the idea was to build through the draft, keep your players signed at modest prices, and fill in with FA talent as it becomes available... Unfortunately...this is the "long view" approach, which takes several years...(at least 3-5) when building from the ground up...to see any success...in terms of winning football games.... The problem is that in today's NFL..there is alot more movement from year to year with FA players..and the fans patience to win is not equivalent to this "long view" approach...(and if you can't keep your players signed...that's another big problem...) add to this fact..that with the GB Packers..you have one Brett Favre...who if surrounded with the right "key players" at the skill positions and a good OL...could take you to your ultimate goal....a SB..in a hurry...(which is at odds with the "long view" approach). Another problem with TT's long view approach..is that it is not sustainable....You may be able to build a team in 3-5 years that is competitive (like the Patriots)....but in today's NFL..there are no more dynasties...so you have to take a different approach.... The Patriots are starting to slide....and I would be surprised to see Pittsburgh make it very far next year either... So..the long view approach TT...like the dinosaur...is becoming extinct in the NFL...what you have to do is have a hybrid approach in which you keep your core players...on OL and defense..and you aggressively sign FA's at the skill positions....and veterans...which is what Ron Wolf did for the Pack... So..as you can see..I don't have much faith in TT's "plan"... [/QUOTE]
