The idea that these guys can come in and usually deal with cap issues, free agents leaving, and aged players and just work "magic" is absurd. The fact that most GMs get a minimum of a 4-year contract, and most get one for 5 should be an indicator for top management that there's a reason they need that time to prove their worth. You needn't wonder why their teams aren't successful.I believe that merry-go-round actually destroys chemistry on the field and in the locker room. It takes time to just change the culture and slowly get people on board with what you intend doing for the future. It takes time to implement a good scouting system, and coaching staff that can get the best out of players and the best players for the system they intend using on both sides of the ball.Fortunately, the Packers aren't stupid enough to make that kind of idiotic decisions in a 2-year cycle. It's just pure ignorance in my opinion.</blockquote>
