[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 652710, member: 7261"] This would be "ego" IMO. Doing something your way, because [B]you believe it is the best way, even if it's not.[/B] Ted is very confident and proud of his ability to evaluate talent. He should be, he excels at it. However, IMO at times (not often) he has too much faith and maybe pride in this ability by giving one of his own too much time to prove they are NFL caliber, when they aren't. This situation has been glaring at linebacker for a long time and more recently at TE. I don't expect all of TT's draft picks to be successful, nor should he, so supplement your failures with FA's but don't hang on to and/or rely on guys to start, that just won't make it in the NFL because you thought they could. I'm a big fan of TT and think he has done a really good job in GB. My criticism of him in regards to the FA market, by no means is me saying otherwise. His few big moves in the FA market (Woodson, Peppers, Pickett) shows he knows what he is doing there as well and maybe similar opportunities haven't presented themselves enough. But as an observer, a few more of those opportunities need to be created by TT to bump the Packers up to the next level. [/QUOTE]
