The Packers' two super bowl runs can in part be attributed to FA signings - Andre Rison, Sean Jones, Eugene Robinson, Woodson, and Pickett all played integral roles in those teams.
You could argue FA is a necessary role in getting a team "over the edge."
We're starting to beat the dead horse, but the issue I had with this argument is that Ted didn't try FA, or that it's as easy as we think it is. Ted's drafts and FA pick ups turned out to be great 4-7 years ago. They've been subpar the last few years along with some unlucky breaks (Worthy, Sherrod, Cobb, Hayward injuries). Does it mean the philosophy doesn't work? No, it just hasn't been very good execution of the strategy of late.
