Message: <blockquote data-quote="Quientus" data-source="post: 710253" data-attributes="member: 1834">Hindsight is always 20/20 ...I've never been a fan of TT, however TT has been able to field a competitive team pretty much every season he has been in charge, and that to me is succesful GM - "Only 1 Super Bowl" argument for critisism is weak ... There are 32 teams competing every season and only a handful of These teams even make it to the Conference Championship game ...As to Rodgers, I believe, had the 49'ers drafted Rodgers and had Alex Smith ended up in Green Bay with McLardy, most likely, We would be talking about how Great Smith is, and not Rodgers (I know ALOT will disagree on this <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/whistling.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":whistling:" title="Whistling    :whistling:" data-shortname=":whistling:" /> ) ... Talentwise Coming into the draft Smith and Rodgers looked similar, with Smith edging out Rodgers in the regard that many viewed Rodgers to be more "succesful because of the system he played in" coming out of College than Smith ... Many will disagree and based on their respective careers seen in hindsight, they would be right, however, Smith didn't get to have McLardy coaching him for more than one season, even though (most likely) it was McLardys input who Got 49'ers to choose Smith over Rodgers (?) - Unless McLardy already knew he was going to become the headcoach of the Packers in 2005 and schemed to not have the 49'ers draft Rodgers LOLComing into the League, the scouting reports that made Rodgers drop in the draft, were actually not that far off target ... Remember Rodgers first season as a starter ? And in some parts also into the following season ... I do believe McLardy made a tremendous effort and job in coaching up Rodgers and help mold him into the QB, Rodgers is today - and root out some of those habits both in the preseason and during the regular season, and the rest is "history".Funny thing is that Rodgers play These past 2 seasons reminds me alot of Favre (minus the Ints ofcourse <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/tongue.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue    :p" data-shortname=":p" /> ) in that alot of the Plays are outside the pocket and more often as of late alot of throws have been across the body on the opposite foot - like Favre did, because Rodgers has to improvise more, with the difference that Rodgers is a much better runner than Favre ever was ...TT in my opinion (in Hindsight) "lucked out" on Rodgers, but should be given credit for pulling the trigger on drafting Rodgers.I don't buy the argument that TT hasn't been able to draft "sufficiently" and provide for the defensive side ... No GM or coach is able to foresee that many injuries and yet the Packers has consistently been able to be in contention almost every season ... Could TT have done more in FA ? - Sure he could have, however, that would not have been a given that things would have played out differently, nor that the Pack would have won more SBs during his tenure ... In my view what this team has been lacking most is a true onfield Leader(s), especially when things dont play out as planned, and that (true leadership) is hard to both coach and draft ...</blockquote>
