[QUOTE="AmishMafia, post: 540868, member: 2846"] This is actually presented with some decent reasoning. It sure beats 'TT is so damn cheap and an ego maniac that he won't bring in FAs. SF beat us and they have FAs therefore we have to sign FAs to win. The 'TT can do no wrong crowd' just refuses to stop living in the past!' Here is why it still isn't a great idea, if it takes rookies longer to get up to speed in the Caper system, so what? The idea of the team building strategy is for players to be drafted and developed. The development still requires them a few years. What is the difference if they sit in on our bench learning the system or they learn something similar on another team? The advantage to fewer FAs is that your team saves cap space. This allows you to extend your stars and maintain your success. The trouble is, in my opinion, that right after the Packers shifted to a 3-4 several other teams did as well. A 3-4 OLB is a 'tweener' in a 4-3 and has less value. In that sense, we were able to get players like Matthews late in the first because he wasn't valued as much by other teams. Look at the Pittsburgh defense. For years they had great LBs because they could draft a great player later in the draft. With other teams shifting to 3-4s, the demand on the OLBs increased and it was more 'draft pick costly' to stock the roster. Couple that with the loss of a few players to injury and we have struggled. That is just bad luck. [/QUOTE]
