[QUOTE="Arles, post: 149034, member: 786"] I think the name "Favre" is causing a lot of confusion with this team. Look back at the play of this team in the final 4 games. You'll see a team that gave up an average of 10 PPG and played fairly strong pass defense. Over the 2nd half, you'll see a defense that struggled at times with the run but was still fairly strong against the pass. What you don't see, however, is a team that's "one guy away" from a dynamic offense (~16-17 PPG). Because we have Favre, everyone seems to think that if we brought in Randy Moss or a 1st round pick WR we could go back to being a top 10 passing offense. That's simply not the case. At this stage in his career, Favre is more like J.P. Losman than Carson Palmer - with an overall comparison close to Jon Kitna. So, if GB had Kitna at QB - would you think this team was one guy away from a great passing offense? What this team is close to, though, is a very dynamic defense. Kampman, Woodson and Harris are three of the best players in the league at their positions. Ryan Pickett is very solid and Hawk, Barnett, Jenkins and Collins are looking to be very promising young players. If we could add a strong DT and quality SS, we could easily be a top 10 defense. So, I would argue that by focusing on improving the defense (Harrell, Rouse, Frank Walker) we are putting the Packers in a better position to win than making "stop gap" moves at WR that sound good - but really don't improve our chances at Ws. For this team to win in 2007, it will need a strong front 7, above average special teams and a competant running game. This, IMO, is exactly what TT's moves have helped build so far. Now, would I like a vet at WR to compete with the young guys? You bet, but that's not the key to success for this team. The talent level is on the defense and that's the one area of the ball GB can be "special" in if guys continue to develop. [/QUOTE]
