this is due to experience understanding the game and building team unity. Why are we still one of the youngest teams in the league? Ted Thompson theory is not working and we all know with FA the young studs will not stick around especially in GB. Ted Thompson is no Wolf by any stretch. Wolk sold Reggie on the idea of coming here, who has Ted Thompson sold on coming here? Oh thats right all of our players are straight out of college. Ted Thompson your experiment of EVERY player needs to be built through the draft is correct. What is our record since Ted Thompson came here and made Favre disappear?

Youngest team is absolutely meaningless. At the start of the season I believe the Packers average age was 25.70 while Indianapolis average age is 25.89. All that matters is whether the players who are starting are doing their jobs not if the 10+ rookies/2nd year players are having a good year on the bench. The Packers starters are not getting their jobs done this year and it has nothing to do with their ages.

So what you're saying is that our draft picks will leave for other teams when they become good, but somehow, big named FAs should sign here? That doesn't make any sense.

Second of all, you can't build a team by FA. How do you think that Patriots became a dynasty? By drafting and filling their needs with FA. They didn't just sign every single player they could find. They wheren't the oldest team in the league when they won their first SB.

You're right about not using FA enough, but that has been said so often, it's nearly getting boring by now.

packer98, back up your argument with real numbers. The Packers' starting squad is one of the oldest in the league. You can't evaluate this team based on its third-string players.

I'd like to see a little more balance between the draft and finding guys in FA. FA isn't a cure all though. Look at the Redskins over the last few years...

Pickett, Woodson, Grant, Chillar, and this year he brought back Green and Tauscher.

Remember the gigantic salary cap Sherman left us with? You can thank Ted Thompson for getting that under control

TT's record is 35 - 37 since he got here Ted Thompson made Favray disappear? :icon_smile: That's the funniest thing I've read in along time. Since we can give someone an applaud point on this forum for saying something good, we should also be able to take one away.

dfosterf (20h) : Does anyone know what Lambeau field improvements got put on hold? My guess would be for the 2025 draft
Zero2Cool (22h) : It's like listen, you made 4,201 mocks, no shit.
Zero2Cool (22h) : Cuz during the draft "I had them mocked there!" as if it's amazing.
Zero2Cool (22h) : They're fun to do once in awhile. It's people who think they are "content" that annoy me.
dfosterf (22h) : Against tbd
dfosterf (22h) : Answer to your question is yes, it's a Thursday, will be the Chiefs aga
dfosterf (22h) : Luckily for all concerned, I don't post them. I did one, but that was like 25 mocks ago
Zero2Cool (22h) : NFL 2024 gonna start Sept 5th isn't it???
Zero2Cool (23h) : Ugh... kids these days!
dfosterf (23h) : I'm gonna go do some more mock draft hell instead 🤪
Zero2Cool (23h) : Did we do one of those prediction threads yet for 2024 season?
dfosterf (23h) : In my city, they are playing the nimby game, in order to keep some railroad tracks vs. 2 professional sports teams and a concert venue.
dfosterf (23h) : And/Or a city council, of which I haven't seen a good one in a very long time
dfosterf (27-Mar) : That sounds like a Mayor, not a city.
buckeyepackfan (26-Mar) : Packers halt scheduled 80mil upgrade of stadium until lease agreement talks are restarted
Zero2Cool (26-Mar) : City of Green Bay puts Packers' Lambeau Field lease talks on hold
buckeyepackfan (26-Mar) : Packers 1 of 3 teams to vote no on new kickoff rule.
Zero2Cool (26-Mar) : Packers sign another Kicker

Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Fining them is the goal, per the people who made the rule anyway.
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still waiting on the kickoff rule changes. Did hear yesterday that the touchback proposal will now be the 30 yard line, not the 35
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Probably speed of game issues with your proposal
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
beast (25-Mar) : Simply fined in the week to follow
beast (25-Mar) : I agree with one NFL official, it'll probably be like some of the helmets hits, not really called by the refs on the field but simply fined
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Hip drop is not. Super confusing. Referees job is harder
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Swivel hip drop is banned
dfosterf (25-Mar) : The hip drop enforcement will be in the form of fines, etc. Not flags
dfosterf (25-Mar) : A major foul will be enforced on the offense if there are offsetting penalties in a change of possession situation
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Teams will receive a 3rd challenge if 1 was successful. Previously, it took 2
