[QUOTE="FrankRizzo, post: 304136, member: 2232"] This is a results-oriented business. Ted Thompson has had more than a half-decade (and that's a long time in today's NFL) to produce RESULTS, and so far we have nothing to show for it other than some individual accomplishments. In Seattle, he helped build a nice roster, but they never could get over the hurdle. When they let him leave to Green Bay, they then made a few more aggressive moves, and low and behold, they made the Super Bowl right away. Would you rather keep having a young team, where tomorrow appears sunny, or would you rather make a Super Bowl? This guy has had some nice draft picks, some great picks. But when that's the only aggressive move a GM makes, you're going to have to bat twice as good as everyone else does who plays the trade & signing good free agent game. Look at the Jets with all their "character risk" additions. The TT-lovers said that the Jets were foolish for not building thru the draft like Ted does. They have WR's Braylon Edwards and Santonio Holmes leading their passing game. Both were trades. They have LaDanian Tomlinson leading their running game. He was a marquee UFA signing. They added OLB Jason Taylor to help the pass rush. They added CB Antonio Cromartie to help cover WRs. They also have added: LB Bart Scott, S Jim Leonhard, Kris Jenkins all from free agency. [/QUOTE]
