[QUOTE="IPBprez, post: 46655, member: 51"] Well - first off - let's leave the CLUB out of it.... I don't go around bragging about it, as a first line of conversation when I'm discussing the Packers... quite often, people find out after I've left the Bar, etc., what my part time job is.... It's my girlfriend I gotta clam up about it all.... I've found that if I leave that off the table... what I do for the Club comes around in a better way, after all. Exactly when was it that TT "knew" he was going to give Sherman that contract extension? I coulda swore it was AFTER the FA period, by several weeks - weren't we already into the Draft month? I guess I just have a different take on the situation. I don't know TT, personally... so I won't go out and state what he was about to do, as if I was in the room beforehand. Many people, on several Forums have taken to saying that TT hates the Free Agency thing - I tend to disagree. I think Ted Thompson is "a highly intelligent football guy" who certainly does his homework, as opposed to taking a different team's mgmt personnel's word for a Player..... which is exactly what happened with the Packers getting Ferguson. It was a grab that didnt work out..... And, like many have re-iterated here... Chambers was no auto-lock for the ProBowl either.... If I had my druthers... I'd say Chambers had a bit of the luck this last year, that Hassselbeck has had with Jim Zorn.. Who was the Coach at Miami for Chambers....? Anyone? Here's the thing -- TT may prefer the Draft - but so do a distinct majority of the GM's throughout the League - it's automatically cheaper and like reported in an article about the Steelers in the Playoffs - it's a great way to [u]mold[/u] a Player, or Players so they become what the GM's vision of his Team should be --- a SuperBowl champ. I'd have to go back on some of the Articles I've posted on our IPB site's message board - to find the ones this thread's Topic reminds me of... (my neck itches - meaning my ESP is going off radar...) I know Cliff Christl, on JSonline and one of the almost mainstream writers for PackersNews (not Havel - even though he may have spoke of it, I'm thinking of someone else), as well... wrote articles about the lame-duck issue.... NOW, after time has slipped passed us (bad grammar?) - we can see things a little bit different. I know one thing - it seemed to take awhile before that report on TT's efforts to work the FA market, last year, came out - got any clue as to why that was? [/QUOTE]
