[QUOTE="Pack93z, post: 153705, member: 288"] I haven't thrown my two cents out there for a while... so here goes. I can't speak for more than myself, so please keep my opinion within context. While I don't pretend to be a "Pro-TT" fan, I think he has done some things very well and wise. The structure of his contracts and utilizing space in current year vs future is a wise way of utilizing the good fortune he has had of record increases in the cap. A wise man uses the tools that he is given. He also has made wise choices in letting some players go free.. IE Green was overpaid, Sharper was in decline, and Longwell was replaceable. But it comes down to me is have we really improved overall? Under the failures of Sherman... we had a high octane O with a subpar D. Today we are building a competitive defense with a sputtering O. Results... we got hammered by the elite teams in both regimes. Does that oooz of success? We have a ton of youth, save a few of them (Hawk, Maybe Jennings and Colledge) none are guaranteed to succeed or improve this year. Do we have any track record that youth can exceed players that have succeeded before? For that matter do we have a track record with this coaching staff to groom players? Not really in there others stops.. But maybe it might be different here. Now before someone comes out and claims me a dooms dayer or points at me and says .... "What you want... more FA and money spent, what a fool". Not necessarily. Adding veteran players does not always mean breaking the bank. Sure you can point to some contracts and say... Holy SH*&!!!! But some very good players were signed to competive contracts or reasonable trades occured that would have helped shore up this team and provide protection in case youth or "diamonds" turn into coal. My contention with Ted is this, he has been here 3 offseasons now and the theme is apparent, youth and digging for "diamonds". That is not a bad strategy, however year after year you cannot run these projects with potential out on the field as your starters or key players. You have to have balance in my opinion, otherwise you risk your entire fortunes on unproven players without experience. In any business, you have to balance the proven with the cost effective and the future. Sherman errored on what he thought was proven and expensive, my belief is Ted is making a mistake on the unproven and untested. If I ran the company on "bleeding edge" servers and hardware that are unproven without a blend of proven dependable and tested machines ... Or continuely staff the department with newcommers and none with experience; my opinion is that I probably won't succeed either. My hope is my caution and disagreement is decisively disproven and the Pack truly takes another step forward. [/QUOTE]
