[QUOTE="warhawk, post: 117160, member: 431"] I believe the answer to this is absolutely yes. From the standpoint of improving the roster talent wise and having a future I see that now whereas before we were living and dying with the guys brought in from the year 2000 and before. The whole philosophy in the past revolved around the "now" while the future was being compromised. There is no sense in playing the blame game. The Hunt's, Johnsons, Carrolls and others just didn't produce what it was expected to accomplish. The fruits of this labor will not show in 2006 what it will in '07 and '08 and the financial state of the team allows for the influx of talent to continue. I believe if asked the higher ups in the Packer organization are very pleased with the current level of talent, the financial state of the team, and where it is headed. What TT has done is no mystery to those that hired him. He pulled no end runs here from what he said he would do if hired. The team was void of young, athletic players with future upside, and he went about fixing it. Remember, TT came in here with no guarantee from our Hall of Fame QB how much longer he would stick around. He could have easily never seen Brett run a play. So was it a bad move to go out and grab as many young and talented athletes as possible with a mix of veterans to lead them? Will the other 52 guys not have to be better in order for us to be competitive when Favre is gone? If these moves would have been delayed until Brett leaves than what? Would we not literally be starting from scratch? That to me would have been a recipe to end up like we did before Brett got here. A decade or more of futility. After about two or three years of that whose head would be asked to roll? [/QUOTE]
