[QUOTE="all about da packers, post: 132265, member: 227"] That is the reason why I think the Packers won't get anywhere near the Superbowl if Favre returns next season. Getting playmakers is one of the toughest things to do.... Last season we got REALLY lucky that Woodson displayed the playmaking ability that won him so much praise, but he is getting onto 30 now... Donald Driver is also 32, not the best age you want your best WR and skill position talent to be... Favre simply can't do it on his own anymore. Forget about getting more playmakers, in a few years we are going to have to replace the only playmakers we have..... so like you asked, where do they come from? Easiest solution is the draft, but that in itself is a roll of the dice. Historically, drafting in the top 10 gives you the best shot at that playmaker, and to get that draft position you need to do bad in the regular season. The other way is Free Agency, but if you have a young playmaker or potential playmaker set to become a FA, I'd think the team would do everything in its power to get him signed to an extension. Thus TT will have to either draft playmakers (it takes a while for any playmaker to come in and get adjusted; results usually follow in the latter part of the rookie season or the second season) or have an amazing eye for identifying playmakers that others have overlooked and sign them in Free Agency. On the draft side, TT loves to accumulate picks, so he increases the chances of getting a playmaker in the later rounds, and TT's good/great eye for talent also helps him out in this regard. However one more avenue that the Packers must succeed in, one which would provide immediate relief of the playmaking problem: playmakers developing from within the team. Looking at the roster, the young talent certainly has potential: AJ Hawk was a top 5 pick, and he has the skill to be a great one. He still needs work though. Same for Jennings, who impressed me more than Hawk BTW, coming in at WR and making things happen after the catch and having great awareness. Two playmakers from one draft are a rare thing, but TT has shown he has the eye to make it happen. Especially with Jennings, TT has proven he can spot out players that can immediately fill the needs of this team, and that gives me hope that TT is the man for the job. [/QUOTE]
