[QUOTE="warhawk, post: 113564, member: 431"] Well Net I guess we just look at this from two different perspectives. As a GM Mike Sherman had a responsibility to consider the future of this team with each move he made. Not putting young talent at a reasonable price on the squad not only places a significant burden on how to handle turnover but also causes serious cap consequences. Both of which occurred in the case of the Packers. I'm not sure what philosophy changes you are talking about last year. What changes? MS was the coach, most all of the players returned from the previous year. If anything it got better by getting that idiot Slowick out of there and Bates in. I don't see ANY change over in philosophy. TT didn't tell MS how to coach and Sherman coached the same way he always did in the past. If anything the biggest difference was losing half the offense to injury. But philosophy? I beg to differ there. As far as the defense goes Bates did a respectible job with what he had but we were not a good defense. We were exploited mightily by a poor rushing defense and the few times we managed a lead the opposing team had no problem putting a drive together to change it around. We got killed in Time of Possession and couldn't buy a turnover. Bottom line is I don't care if Mike Sherman LIKED rookies or not he should have kept an eye to the future and where the moves he was making would put this team down the road. He chose to think in the NOW every year and by '05 we had no depth, no cash, and no youth. All of a sudden we were looking around and the Bears had become the big dogs of the North. Just look who they brought in thru the '03 and '04 drafts and you will see why we are now playing catch up in the talent department. We got absolutely massacred in respect to building a talent base in those years. So I'm sorry if I just don't really give a damn if MS liked rookies or not. [/QUOTE]
