Message: <blockquote data-quote="net" data-source="post: 26744" data-attributes="member: 200">11 rookies out of 53 players is a hefty turnover for one year.Brett could play 5 more years, but how many of them will be productive?Two things have happened: Ted Thompson's hiring changed the philosophy Mike Sherman conducted: he went with draft picks instead of veteran players. Sherman tossed draft picks away frequently, Thompson values them deeply. Playing he number of inexpensive rookies this year will pay dividends in the future.The second thing was the crop of Packer holdovers is dwindling. Next year William Henderson, Mike Flanagan, Green, possibly Na'il Diggs and a couple others, will be elsewhere. So the turnover has begun in a a major way. What they are trying to do is rebuild on the fly, with Brett being the glue to hold it together.Bates' defense is starting to weave its magic, and the team will be improving, unless injuries destroy the continuity.I still look for 8-8.</blockquote>
