[QUOTE="TJV, post: 520720, member: 4300"] A little over two years ago I posted this in a thread titled “Thompson’s Way”: [I]“I’ve previously referred to an article before Super Bowl XLV that contains what I consider a very revealing Ted Thompson quote. The article quotes Mike Holmgren saying when he, Thompson and Mike Reinfeldt were in Seattle they agreed on about 90% of their personnel decisions. But on occasion when Holmgren would suggest filling a hole with a vet free agent, Thompson would invariably say, '[B]I can find better in the draf[/B]t'. We’ve seen that philosophy put into action as the basis of Thompson’s plan. The plan is to draft and develop talent as the core of the team. McCarthy has explicitly said so. While that is the foundation of his plan, it’s not the whole story. Thompson prefers to build his roster with youngsters; those who aren’t set in their ways and who don't have entrenched bad habits. He and his personnel staff hand those players over to the coaching staff that bears the responsibility of developing those players. When they succeed, the burden shifts back to Thompson’s front office to retain as much of the core talent they’ve discovered and developed as they are able. ...”[/I] [url]http://www.packerforum.com/threads/thompsons-way.29622/[/url] [/QUOTE]
