[QUOTE="dxbfan, post: 117154, member: 722"] The depth would come from the draft. If you were building around Favre you would: 1. Free up cap space by getting rid of overpaid and underperforming players such as Sharper, Hunt you could argue Longwell as well. 2. You would evaluate talent against your needs and realise that you needed Wahle more than Franks. 3. You would sign a few key FAs in the positions of greatest need. The team being 2 million under cap in August 2005, 7.75 million under cap in August 2006. 4. You would use your first round pick in 2005 on an immediate impact player and someone other than a QB. 5. You would use your remaining picks on the best talent available and therein build depth. Or alternatively as you have said "We did that in attempt to give Favre what he needed to win for four years." TT would have realised that this approach wasnt working, "Because thru time the lack of draft picks that paid off and FA's that didn't work out zapped us of the very thing we had to have for that to even be an option. DEPTH." and therefore feel that the team could no longer continue to build around Favre and that the roster needed to be rebuilt through the draft. And those young players then needed to be nurtured and developed. You then have to ask why didnt TT see this through the whole way and have Rodgers start this season? For all the pullin the boat out of the water and fixing the hole and the gash, if the ship's Master isnt going to be around much longer, you better find someone who can sail her. [/QUOTE]
