[QUOTE="Bogart, post: 399109, member: 3900"] Before the Rams/Saints game on Fox Sunday, the discussion of Carson Palmer's trade came into play between Bradshaw, Long, Johnson, and Michael Strahan. I wish I had a video of it to share with you guys, cause Jimmy Johnson nails some key points here. According to him he said even if you have a player past his prime and want to keep him for something he did in the past, that's no excuse to keep them. When he took over Dallas, he only won a single game with the same roster that Tom Landry only won 3 games with. Everyone called him crazy for trading Dallas' only pro bowl players on the team. He stressed a good thought on trading the players that gave you quality years in the past, and it was a valuable listen about this topic. He claims it's the right thing to do to get rid of your pro bowlers near the end of their career and not hold onto them forever just because that one player had an awesome year 3 or 4 years back, or he's been with the team for over a decade. Speaking of the Carson Palmer trade, he strictly did not agree to it on behalf of the Raiders, and claimed even when he traded Hershel Walker, it benefited him greatly as it led to Emmitt Smith, where now the Bengals have draft picks that can lead to better players on their team. Now let's go back to his thoughts on trading players past their prime. Tom Landry was 3-13 with the same roster before Johnson took over, after only winning a single game in his debut season, Johnson traded Dallas' only pro bowl players on the roster, including their leading wide receiver. Remember when we traded Favre a few years back and everyone thought we were insane to get rid of a quarterback past his prime? It took only 3 years of team building for Johnson to win a Super Bowl in Dallas, using the league's youngest roster, and the following year he continued to upgrade on that roster. Last season Green Bay walked away with the Super Bowl wrapped in their arms, and were indeed the youngest team in the league, and their roster was built from the draft. I have a lot of respect for Johnson, and he has said some good things about the Packers management resulting in a Super Bowl win last season. While it's hard to believe today with how big of a mess Dallas has turned into, thanks to Jerry Jones, they were once well organized under Jones and Johnson to build a power house team in such a short span of time. They were called insane to trade Hershel Walker, the Packers were called crazy for trading Favre. I think the Johnson led Dallas team showed how the draft builds a young team from scrap to mold into a form of how you want your team to be. The Packers did the same thing in recent years, with a young team built around a pass heavy offense that led to a Super Bowl. It's easy to build a team on free agency or try to buy yourself a championship with money on good players, but the 2010 Packers, and 1992 Cowboys proved it's better off to build your team on the draft as they can get better and better, whereas keeping players past their prime and depending on free agents or veteran players can work, but it don't always work.
