Would we have had the Favre Fiasco without Ted in charge?
Would we have the same team makeup?
I am not one to buy into the no other GM could have managed a .500 record through the past 4 years.. the variables would have been so different and some things might not have come to pass.
Like.. would another GM have gone the route of all youth and little in FA?
Or would he have reworked contracts to keep Wahle for example?
This is not pinning anything on him, just I don't think that argument is valid.
Something like.. what if the Packers had drafted Barry Sanders? Would Brett and the 96 team ever developed, would have Braatz been shown the door and Wolf injected...
What ifs.. all you can do is look at the record and what has taken place on his watch... because with somebody else, the events would have transpired differently.
Somethings Ted had a equal part in creating.. so he has to be accountable for the results as well.
But if you mistake that for me complaining about Ted. not even close.. we have a deep talented team for the most part.. it is extracting the talent that we are struggling with currently.
