[QUOTE="net, post: 25291, member: 200"] This entire thread is idiotic. It presumes there's a team out there willing to trade away the future for the possibility of a portion of now. Also, the Packers would appear to be villians in this trade, not victors. Stupid. Really, really stupid. Why not concentrate on the reality? 1)With much of the same personnel as a year ago, this team has slid into the craphole. Why? A little history lesson. The Green Bay Packers won their second Super Bowl and Vince Lombardi left coaching to be the GM. It wasn't entirely that Lombardi was burned out. He wanted part of the team and that wasn't possible. He also recognized that his iron will had propeled an aging team to the championship, and they nearly got knocked off a couple of times along the way. Phil Bengston was handed the team that Lombardi knew was old and the rookies weren't that good, then left town after the team went into the tank the next year. Lombardi left town with his image nearly intact, and Phil Bengston was left with a team that was slowly rotting. It had much to do with drafting and personnel. It was the Packers weak spot until Ron Wolf arrived. Wolf made some blunders, but overall gave Mike Holmgren more than enough talent to win. The mistakes Sherman made while GM (by the way, he made many good moves, too) have come home to roost. This coupled with Ted Thompson's desire to find new affordable faces has put this team where it is. I notice Dallas isn't setting the world on fire. I wonder if Bill Parcells has forgotten how to coach? Dom Capers will likely be let go in Texas. He has had success in the past, has he forgotten how to coach? I've always found the complaint about playcalling to be laughable, purely laughable. Until this year the offense always ranked near the top of the league. Playcalling complaints merely show the originator's lack of knowledge. This team has changed. Beightol this morning in the paper said they were going with Klemm and Whittaker instead of Wells and Ruegemer for the "long term good". That's all I need to prove this is the Packers rebuilding year with aging players(Green) retiring players(Favre) and underperforming players (Harris). Instead of assuming the Packers must win every football game, why not assume the team is in transition, and after a rocky road will be in position to win in the future? [/QUOTE]
