[QUOTE="net, post: 113557, member: 200"] There's a flaw in the logic. 1)The new GM wants "his" players, so he makes moves accordingly. This is nothing new and happens with each team as they change managers. 2)That type of turnover is not unusual....Jake DelHomme is the starting QB for a very successful team. Was he a #1 pick? Tom Brady? Drafting is a crap shoot at best. Donald Driver is among the league's best, but was a 7th round pick. Mike Sherman favored veterans. He didn't like rookies. Please don't try to make the case that Sherman was a failure. His record speaks otherwise. His PHILOSOPHY was he didn't like to draft rookies. He was successful doing it until Thompson arrived with a different philosophy. Ted Thompson likes to build through the draft. He has a coach who also can work with younger players. I think this approach will also be successful. BOTH APPROACHES CAN WIN. The lack of victories last season was the direct result of the changeover of philosophies, not the lack of players. The Packers defense, for example, was among the leagues best last year. Statistically, it's among the worst this year. Yet you think last year stunk and this year is ok. Both approaches can be successful. A winning team is a combination of talent, coaching, lack of injuries, schedule and flat out breaks. The draft is only one element of a successful team. [/QUOTE]
