[QUOTE="porky88, post: 94362, member: 489"] The facts are clearly there that Sherman inherited a ton of Pro Bowl players in the making from Wolf. As I stated 10 of our 11 starters on offense were drafted or traded for by Ron Wolf. Everyone but Clifton and Tauscher had played in a Pro Bowl before and they were brought in by Ron Wolf as well. Our best defensive players were brought in by Wolf as well. Sharper, McKenzie, and KGB at the time. Sherman inherited a great team built by hopefully a soon to be HOF GM. Ted Thompson inherited a team on decline and a team who has been under poor management for at least 3 years prior. GB was 11 million over the cap when Thompson took over and GB had to get under. It's not an option. You have to get under. GB owed Wahle a huge roster bonus which they could not pay. So they had to release him. Thompson failed to re-sign him then and that appears to be his greatest mistake to date. Sharper refused to take a pay cut so Thompson had to cut him as well. Thompson inherited a mess of cap room and poor drafts from Sherman. As a Head Coach Sherman was solid. He new how to win games as a Head Coach. There is a difference in being a Head Coach and GM of a team though and as a GM Sherman was poor. He brought in one Pro Bowl player in his tenure. That was Javon Walker. The rest were all brought in by Ron Wolf. From KGB to Brett Favre. Let's see if Ted Thompson can get the job done though before we grab the pitchforks. He‘s pretty much used his 1st 2 off seasons to fix the cap and clean house with bad draft picks. Now he has finally been able to get the youth movement he wants in. It‘s going to take more than year 1 for Moll, Spitz, Jennings, Hawk, Collins, and Poppinga to dominate at their positions. Like I said by next year if we‘re not seeing any improvement then he needs to go. 3 years seems to be the fair number in this league. 1 or 2 is a little early.. It's not an excuse. It's a fact that Wolf built a team that was good for years after he was gone. GB started to feel the affects of Sherman's tenure just last year. TT decided to rebuild. It's now his team and he should be given a chance and he shouldn’t be singled out when others failed to get the job done as well. [/QUOTE]
