[QUOTE="El Guapo, post: 491085, member: 5830"] As an ardant TT fan, my unwaivering opinion of Sherman was that he was a good coach with Ron Wolf's players but reduced to a marginal coach when faced with coaching the players he drafted as GM from 2002-2004. Aside from drafting poorly and completely ignoring the offensive line, he was the what most anti-Thompson fans argue for...an active player in the free agent market. Some of his free agent disasters were DE Joe Johnson, S Mark Roman, and LB Hannibal Naives. What all of those terrible signings did was hamstring the Packers' cap position for years to come, including into the beginning of the TT era. I don't know if TT is good or not at evaluating the big name talent. If he is and chooses not to, that maybe be out of irrational fear or an intent and belief in his build-from-the-draft philosophy. If he recognizes that he's not great at judging free agents in the market, and therefore choosing not to play a game that he knows he is not good at, all the better. [/QUOTE]
