[QUOTE="warhawk, post: 153710, member: 431"] A few comments. I see no good fortune for a GM given higher cap numbers because the result was just more money to the players. The players were fortuned by the raise in the cap. It didn't make managing it any easier for the GM's. With no increase Green probably stays a Packer but ends up with $7.5 mil. In his intial years based on the poor cap position, the average age of the players, with no young up and coming guys, and, with several holes to fill both in the starting rotation and depth, he went straight to the draft. My point is that what he HAS done to rectify the above situations does not mean he WILL DO the same thing in the future personnel wise. He has a youthful "0" line now, resigned Barnett, Harris, Jenkins, Kampman, Wells, Driver, and the core is now set for years. Yes, TT has dug for diamonds. There wasn't a position on the team with any depth other than maybe Favre/ Nall. When TT got here in 05 name ONE decent backup on defense? Anybody? How about offense. Much has been said about the Rivera/Wahle deal and whose to blame but where were the backups for these guys? There were none. TT's not just digging for diamonds. He knows guys are going to get hurt. He knows how important depth is to a team. You have to go find those guys and you have to do it in a way you can afford it. When he opts to take eleven or twelve picks he's not looking for all starters. Two of those that are really good is a good year. He's looking for 53 that will take them beyond 16. [/QUOTE]
