[QUOTE="Gopackgo82, post: 94352, member: 369"] Another fact you can't sneeze at is that he only drafted 1 Pro Bowler. 9 of the 27 players he drafted are in the NFL right now. That's horrible. Sherman's record as a coach is impressive, but the fact is that his teams were built by Wolf. Sherman did little to add to what Wolf built, thus you have a decline in talent due to little talent addition and increase in age and injuries to the existing players. Add the major fact that it costs more money each year to keep the existing players and that there was very little cap space to do anything, and you have a train wreck. TT is dealing with Sherman's mess. I don't know if he's the man for the job, but I understand that it takes years to fix this sort of situation. You guys just look at the record, which in theory is the stone cold facts and represents exactly how good a team is. The only problem with that is, it's not. The talent of the team is just that, how good the players on the team are. I know what you're going to ask now: "How did they go 10-6 if the team was so bad?" Well, as it's just been stated by the posters above me, they played really bad teams. That's right, the 2004 Packers were overrated. Then TT comes in and has to somehow build a better team. He can't do that because he has no cap space available. What's the solution to that? You gotta let people go. There goes some Wolf picks that have been keeping the team afloat, and there is nobody on the roster that can step into the starting role. This was because of Sherman's crappy drafts. Ok, so then what? Sign some guys and draft some guys. TT signed some guys, they didn't work out. They were only temporary solutions anyway. The draft produced some promising players. Next year, the same thing happens (hopefully the FA's actually help this time though). It's looking like TT is moving in the right direction as far as the draft goes, but it's really too early to tell just how effective he is as a GM. His draft picks need to develop before we can make that decision. So go ahead and criticize TT if you'd like. Just don't put all the blame on him for the sudden collapse of the Packers. It's not all his fault. [/QUOTE]
