Message: <blockquote data-quote="Thirteen Below" data-source="post: 1067401" data-attributes="member: 18006">Green Bay has a tried and true model for building a successful franchise that is competitive (often highly competitive) almost every single season. Ron Wolf understood the challenges of building a consistently successful team in a small town the size of Bend, Oregon or Buckeye, Arizona, and developed a blueprint for competing against teams in huge markets like New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago.And not just competing, but dominating. Since 1993, the 2nd full year of Wolf's tenure, no other team in the NFL has won as many games, had as many winning seasons, scored as many points, and made as many playoff runs - Green Bay has made 26 playoff appearances in the last 31 seasons, compared to 24 for the Patriots, 23 for the Steelers, and 22 for the Niners.We've done this by adhering to a draft-and-develop philosophy, and maintaining a disciplined approach in trades, free agency, and managing draft capital. Trading multiple 1st round picks plus a starter for a single player who expects to be paid ~$40M a year would be a complete, 180-degree reversal and repudiation of the organization's foundational operating philosophy.</blockquote>
