[QUOTE="spardo62, post: 94261, member: 516"] [b]TT vs MS[/b] [b]*Merging -Arrow[/b] Most of the posts on this site lately have eventually gotten around to this topic, so I would like to post some observations for discussion. We can argue over which philosophy is correct and judge the results, however we can never compare apples to apples in judging the performance of these individuals. MS thought he had a team capable of making one more Superbowl run, with Brett Favre playing at a high level and Aman Green in the prime of his career. Accordingly, he was attempting to add players through free agency that would help him to achieve this goal. He also identifies key components of the team that he wanted to lock up so they would remain with the team rather than exposing to free agency. He was also drafting consistently in the later part of each round due to the record of the team the previous year. Unfortunately, he had significant misses in all 3 areas and never was able to get over the hump during his time with Green Bay. During this period, the players he was building around got 4 years older and had more wear and tear on their bodies. TT took over a team that he felt was in decline and not capable of making a SB run, although they maybe could be a playoff team. This gave him 2 choices. Completely scrap and attempt to build from the ground up or continue adding pieces to keep the team competitive for the next year or two and pay the price down the road. With the exception of keeping Brett Favre at the helm, he chose the first option. Unfortunately, I do not think he can, nor should he choose option 1 if Favre is still on the roster. I do believe that it all comes down to #4. If TT wanted to build from scratch he should have found a way to get Brett out of town, but if he truly wanted him to come back he shouldn't have relyed on so much youth(especially in the middle of the OL). The way it stands now, the complete rebuilding cannot take place, as we have no idea what we have at QB for the future. By the same token, he is doing a disservice to Brett Favre, who can obviously still play, but has no hope with the team around him. [/QUOTE]
