[QUOTE="DILLIGAFF, post: 274123, member: 1719"] It is not about where the player comes from, but who evaluates the talent the best wins. TT saved his job this past year with one hell of a draft, if he had a so so draft the Pack would be far behind vikings at this point and TT's job security along with it. One thing that does not matter to the average fan, but is key to the organization as a whole, is the financial side. This is where I believe TT shines the best, the return on investment, where the vikings have issues being profitable in their current situation. When they signed BF, they had to do a tricky payment schedule due to lack of funds, although I believe their investment in BF has paid off. Packers as an organization is on solid ground financially. IMO TT got lucky this year, his neglect of the O-line almost cost him and if players like Lang and Jones did not step up the Pack could have easily finished 7-9. The hard thing like this is to judge for only a 4 year period, some of Shermans mistakes cost the Packers years after he left. As a GM I feel TT gets a C+ in making the switch to the 3-4 defense as far as his personnel decisions. Two of the biggest players as far as contracts and value going into this switch was Kampman and Hawk. Both of these players trade value was at their highest before the 2009 season. Now we are severely over paying for Hawk with no long term outlook and Kampman walks free. These players would have net a couple of high round draft pics, selecting players better suited to the 3-4 defense. TT's failure to make the right call on these players will cost the Packers an additional year to make a true run at the super bowl with this switch to the 3-4. I often wonder if we stayed with our old defense how much further along we would be at this point. [B]We are talking about needing another pass rusher on the defense, yet Kampman may be walking free to a divisional rival.[/B] This kind of goes back to point of the this thread, its not so much your philosophy, but the players you get to play.
