Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 495869">C'mon. You shared a couple of hundred words on the history of TT hatred and you couldn't bring yourself to utter "Favre"? If you leave the elephant in the corner and cover him with a sheet, we still know he's there. Picking Aaron Rodgers in preparation for Favre's eventual departure, and then dumping Favre when enough was more than enough, showed foresight, brilliance and balls. That was not TT deciding on Favre in isolation, though...certainly MM with his obsessive preparation had had his belly full of the sand lot QB showing up 5 minutes before kickoff, figuratively speaking. Murphy's the guy who signs the papers. But right or wrong, TT would get the credit or blame. And still, his stamp is on the Rodgers pick and bringing in MM. But that's not philosophy. Those are isolated career-making decisions. The drafts have zigged up and down over the 8 years but the general pattern is down; some keep-our-own contracts have been overly generous; avoiding mid-market FAs like the plague has it's downside. Take out the Rodgers/Favre decisions, and TT is good, not great...but for those two decisions I shall be forever grateful. Rodgers, MM, Woodson, Favre, Matthews, ??? It's been several years since TT has done anything dramatically good.</blockquote>
