[QUOTE="digsthepack, post: 162103, member: 209"] Simply put, Sherman inherited a talented, but aging team with a limited window to achieve success before player decline and roster turnover took their tool. He ammassed his lofty record in the year in-year out worst division in football for the better part of his tenure...and do not diminish this because division games are approximately 40% of the season. To that end, he played for the moment because he knew his window was closing. Sadly, his personal decisions stunk. Yes, he gave us Barnett, Kampmann, Jenkins and traded for Al Harris...all great moves...but he decimated any depth he had, and the future as well, by giving players away to take the likes of Donnell Washingtom, James Lee, and Hunter Hillenmeyer. While also drafting quality players and people such as those noted above, as well as Ahmad Carroll, Torrance Marshall (who was kept over Hunter because of higher draft status), Joey Thomas, etc. For the few quality players he brought in, there is a much higher number of turds/busts he brought in, usually at the ost of extra draft picks. And let us not even delve into his staff blunders, for they are glaring and numerous. TT inherited a team that was VERY OLD and lacking depth across the board. He has spent several years fixing Sherman's embarrassment of a roster. If you do not like the players TT has brought in, there is something seriously wrong with you. Wheras MS drafted athletes who dabbled in football for the 3 "Ps" (*****, paycheck and parties), TT drafts guys who are ALL about football....who eat, breathe, sleep and dream of it. The scenarios under which these two men operated werevery different, and demanded different approaches to building the team. If all you want to do is consider the win records of the two, then you have a very simple minded approach to evaluating these two men...and there is absolutely nothing I or anyone else can say to open your brains to the many complexities that building a team, at significantly differentt stages of evolutuion, requires. The MS has more wins approach is equivalent to saying Ahmad Carroll is a better corner than Al Harris...he runs faster, jumps higher (and apparently gets higher) and has vastly superior athleticism...Ahmad would win EVERY straght up athletic challenge against Al. But yet, being a corner in the NFL is more than that. So is building a roster and straight up wins and losses...especially considering one guy started with a luxury sedan and the other a Yugo.
