[QUOTE="PackerfaninCarolina, post: 706965, member: 9364"] This is true, hence why I'm not in the revisionist history room on this. Ted Thompson did a lot to build the team up for the 2007 run (even if it was short of a SB run, still exceeded many expectations), and the 2010 run as well. This thread wasn't meant to tarnish his legacy in that way, it was just more to look at what's happening lately and the idea that even though you have success at one point, sometimes you gotta change [B]some[/B] of the ways you do things to sustain it. It's kinda the same situation between Sean Payton and Mickey Loomis down in New Orleans, they built that team that won it all in 2009, taking over a crappy situation from Jim Hasslet and miraculously bringing life to that team. But they haven't poured enough investments into areas of their team to make up for deficiencies, which is why they've gone 7-9 over the past 3 seasons and have the fans talking about canning Payton. Understandable, but remember we're also not talking about building a team on free agency, or even really trying to bring young 5-star studs into here .... well I mean we are but don't necessarily need to to get the defense up to snuff. Now I'm not saying that our market doesn't have some disadvantages when it comes to the free agent scene if you will like Carter and Jennings were saying. But it's still hard to imagine TT was ringing peoples phones off the hook in trying to bring em in to fill the holes. [/QUOTE]
