[QUOTE="El Guapo, post: 492372, member: 5830"] Listen, the Packers time has come and gone. We were poised to win the Super Bowl (and did) back in the 2009-2011 timeframe. Now all of our starts from that period are due the big money: Rodgers, Matthews, Raji, Jennings, Finley, Woodson, etc.... Most teams in our position would be in a state of decline at this point, had they adopted more of a free-wheeling attitude in free agency. [U]You cannot sustain an NFL dynasty in the modern era unless you are committed to drafting and promoting from within[/U]! Had we taken on a few of the Eagles-esque free agents to "get us over the hump" we would likely be belching them out at like the Eagles are doing today. We are still a viable playoff team, able to afford to extend Rodgers and Matthews contracts because TT is a spendthrift in free agency. Everyone clamoring for him to do it now is just wishing for doom in 2-3 years, just so they have a better-yet-guaranteeing shot at another SB title in the next 1-2 years. I'm a Packer fan for the long haul. I'd much rather be the team that is perennially the talk of the NFC North, than the Vikings or Bears who pop up every 4-6 years for a short stint, only to unravel when free agent contracts again choke them into mediocrity. That approach is similar to yo-yo dieting. Fat then thin, fat then thin. I'm still in favor of spending when on a FA here or there if it makes sense, but not just because every other team spent big $$ and we didn't. [/QUOTE]
