[QUOTE="net, post: 132281, member: 200"] The ROTTT(Reign of Ted Thompson Terror) is in full swing. I'm not going to re-hash this all again(as is often the case this time of year since there's virtually no news out of Packerland), but Ted has banked the future on the ability of build a "core" of players. The main thing to look at when you look at the Packers in 2007 is: "How many championship-level players does the team have?" If you look at the Super Bowl teams, you can rattle off a half-dozen players on both of them who have top-of-the-game players. Packers: Driver, maybe Green and Favre, though Favre's QB rating is behind Grossman's if you can believe it(NFL.com stats). Defense: Hawk, Kampman, Harris, Woodson, maybe Barnett. But of that group, Woodson and Kampman are going to the Pro Bowl. Driver is going on offense. Cliff is right that by the time this team jells, it could be 2-3 years down the road. But if you look at the Colts, Bears, New England, etc. you see many names. The scouts call them "Blue" players-or Pro Bowl caliber. Not everyone can make the Pro Bowl, you need to good foot soldiers, like Scott Wells. But when you fall into the trap that everyone ROTTT drafts is the next superstar, you fail to realize that next year the Packers MIGHT BE back where they were in 2003. They also will face a brutal schedule again. ROTTT'S first draft is worth looking at again, especially when you consider you hope Favre returns because the other options aren't nearly as good. A reporter pointed out this weekend that the Bears rebuilt(like New England does) by relying on free agency as much as the draft. Ted loves cheap bodies, but the question remains open whether he will "net" enough top level players to put them over the top. Marquand Manuel anyone? Is this Ted Thompson's Joe Johnson? If they don't, he can blame McCarthy, which would be too bad. Mike's a decent guy trying to do a good job. Lovie Smith took over and promptly said his goal was to defeat the Packers as division champs. Now the field is reversed, and can the Packers beat the Bears as division champs? This off-season will be critical for the team. He needs to find some offensive weapons and hope Favre returns. [/QUOTE]
