[QUOTE="PackerFlatLander, post: 506131, member: 8938"] Jimmy Johnson nailed it with this. Crosby is done and it's because he's 100% mentally done. For as much of a Ted supporter as I've always been - the biggest beef I do have with him, is the refusal to let disappointing players go - specifically players that he drafted, or is responsible for acquiring, as if it dents his ego, or something. AJ Hawk? Great guy, great team player, never gets in trouble off the field and works his butt off. BUT ... for being the 5th overall pick in the draft? Not a difference-maker. Justin Harrell? Kept on the roster, just to avoiding wasting money. It hurt the team. Mason Crosby. At this point, a detriment to winning. Not good. I'm going off on a tangent here, a bit, but ... now with the Bulaga injury - Ted's philosophy of building through the draft and the whole draft and develop thing, is all good and in theory, I have no problem with it. But the fact is, Ted has badly bombed on his o-line picks since 2005, with the sole exception of Josh Sitton, who is all-world. All those worthless ZBS prototype track star dudes, were terrible. Darryn Colledge, Jason Spitz, Allen Barbre, etc. These clowns belong shooting a discus or a shot put, far more than they belong on an NFL o-line. To add insult to all of this, he has never drafted a bonafide, franchise center. This is borderline criminal. Sorry for the rant, but this Crosby situation, is sorta magnifying other things right now. I like Ted and in no way do I want him to leave or get fired. But, he needs to alter his player acquisition philosophy a bit. Get rid of players who do not help you win, and acquire players who do, even if that means dipping into free agency a little bit. We have high hopes for this season, but the magnifying glass is exposing some obvious existing flaws. [/QUOTE]
