Whatever your feelings on free agency one thing that is certain is old Packer GM Ted Thompson absolutely hated spending money on it. That point is really here nor there, just pointing it out as to what coach Mac was dealing with all those years.
If you really look back at his time in Green Bay I cant stress enuff how many offensive lines, r.b stables, and even W.R corps had to be cobbled together thru the draft and STREET free agency. Packers were always fantastic at pulling W.R's right out of their buttholes as if by magic! Year after tear after year. Same with offensive lines really. Actually I'd love for mac to bring his old w.r coach in on staff, pretty obvious the guy can get young inexperienced players ready to go in a short time. Granted.....sure helps when you have Favre and Rogers at QB but still.
Pretty sure Mac has got to be looking at the talent we already have on hand like a kid in a candy store and I dont blame him one bit. The more you think about this hire.....the more you feel good about it and the more it makes sense. If we can just get this defense right the sky is the limit!
