[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 721131, member: 7261"] TT has had "a plan" and a pretty good plan since he became GM of the Packers, mainly to rely on his and his scouts ability to draft and his coaches ability to develop within. It's pretty "easy" to see why it has happened that way and why he hasn't wavered much as well as its easy to see the pitfalls of what happens when he isn't more flexible in his plan. He came into an organization that had a HOF QB and he was smart and fortunate enough to instantly draft another one. During his entire time as GM, his teams have been anchored by those 2 HOF QB's and along the way, some decent accompanying players helped to keep the Packers near the top of the NFL. I still don't doubt TT's ability to draft, but sticking too close to this D &D philosophy has hurt the Packers when either TT whiffed on a pick (to be expected), a major player is lost due to injury or a particular player couldn't be coached to fit the Packers system. That has led to what I think happens too often, the Packers find themselves too thin or not skilled enough at one or a few other positions, especially by the time they get to the playoffs when they need the level of play to be at its highest. So yes, TT has a plan, I just question his being a bit too rigid in being willing to deviate from that plan and using other methods of player acquisition. The success he had with FA's like Woodson, Peppers and Cook should send a message to himself, "it is ok to rely on players outside of those you have drafted to give the Packers some experience and depth across the entire roster." The Packers typically start the season with a pretty solid 22-30 man roster, but once those players start falling or failing, which they do, too much reliance on JAG's, rookies and UDFA's seems to sink the Packers chances of completing the season in a "Plan Achieved" kind of way, a trip to the Super Bowl.
