The man every Packers fan pretends to be this time of year has no problem with all the NFL draft pressure falling squarely on his shoulders. It’s part of the job as the general manager. On Wednesday, Ted Thompson held his annual pre-draft news conference.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

One of my lifelong buddies and I think Ted Thompson has some strings or some guy is sitting in the back pressing a button to play a recording everytime he's asked a question. That "leader" bereft of passion in a game of passion ain't the guy we need running this franchise who has only a few more years of being special...a media darling. It could be Cleveland for us for a long long time and we're just gonna waste it with this guy's "steady" leadership.

You just described Bill Belicheck. Doesn't give the media anything except the same bland answers over and over again. That seems to be working out pretty well for the Patriots.

Rex Ryan is the "media darling" you are looking for. He on his second job and still no super bowl appearances.

I feel you may just be a classic example of "the grass is always greener" type of fan.

No, sir...I was THRILLED when Harlan. Wolf and Holmgren was the power trio. Murphy, Thompson, Mike McCarthy is not even close.

If we had Jim Harbaugh here even with Ted Thompson I would've been tickled.

Yes, BB is bland. I've also seen a totally different side of the guy. He loves Bon Jovi. He has a personality.

I think he could be a little more active in free agency, but I mostly understand why he makes the choices he does. Packers fans will be glad if and when the Packers get two additional 4th round compensatory picks next year. It's all a matter of opinion. If I was Bill Belichick or Ted Thompson, I would be the same way.

One thing I'm certain about is they couldn't care less about appeasing whiny fans like yourself. They're busy running successful NFL franchises and being millionaires.
