And with most teams, it's still the way it is, because most teams seem to follow the same general management patterns. Gutekunst clearly has his own theories, and they seem to be working better and better every season now.Brady and Belichik say, "snicker snicker... here, hold our beers".It can be done, but the NFL is a copycat league and unfortunately for most teams, the GMs have been copyiing the wrong models - probably because very few of them are smart enough or disciplned enough to follow Belichiik's lead. Gutekunst may be the guy who can emulate him well enough to duplicate at least some measure of his success.It's not only Love, but the front office and coaching staff as well. As long as Gute can continue keep the shelves stocked by a combination of stellar scouting and draft management that essdentially allows him to draft 1.5 years worth of players (or more) each spring, and LaFleur continues to improve, our window will basically be 15 years - with some of those years being reloading/recalibrating seasons, and most of them years when we have a solid chance every single January.Anyone who has Apple TV might enjoy "The Dynasty", a 4-5 part series breaking down how that developed.</blockquote>
