[QUOTE="AmishMafia, post: 491819, member: 2846"] You have to agree, teams that do a lot of FA spending have not won the SB in some time. As far as getting average players and decent value - what is the point? Why would you get an average player and higher $$$ when we have average players who may develop into better? Any player above average commands a premium price. TT, nor I, for that matter, is against going after FAs. Its just a rare situation when it actually helps your team. The 3 veteran DLs we signed last year, people were excited. In the end, only 1 made the roster, and he was cut after a few weeks. The problem with your logic is that there is a finite resource (salary cap) available. If spending money was the answer to improving your team - we would never win. There are several owners more than willing to throw everything they have at it to win. The best you can do, as a GM, is to assemble as much talent potential on the roster and hope a few players each year emerge to put you over the hump and its enough to win the SB. SB is the goal of everyone who is a Packer fan. There are 31 other teams, and 1600 other players who would run over their own mother to win the SB. It is not easy. Its not fair to call a season a failure if we don't win it. There are too many items out of TT's control - injuries and ignorant refs spring to mind quickly. But sometimes it can come down to a ball landing on its nose, does it bounce into the end zone for a touchback or does it bounce out at the 1 ft line. It will more likely hurt than help. [/QUOTE]
