Kevin (Zero) has stated over and over that the Packers WILL WIN the Superbowl this year. I hope he is right. When the Packers do win The Superbowl This Year... Do not cherish Aaron, Woodson, Greg, the incredible Defense, or even Mike, the coach,

Set up a parade for Ted Thompson and Mark Murphy one day before the Super Bowl Parade

Ted deserves his own parade with Mark.

Just because Ted has been as perfect as a GM could be in his tenure., and Mark made it all come together.
I
t is so easy for Packer Fans to dislike Ted. In fact he is responsible for that because of his personality and public speaking ability.

Ted has the personality of a chief executive officer of an abortion clinic in Kennesaw Georgia He is Stoic, cold, unfeeling, and almost robot like

I feel, and still do that Ted in the best GM in the NFL. Not only is he the best GM in the NFL but he is the most under rated GM in the NFL. Just like it is so tough for a Packer Player to get recognition due to the lack of media representation in a big market city it is tough for Ted to get the recognition he truly deserves.

There is no doubt, from the media, and anyone who really can analyze the NFL that the 2010 Green Bay Packers are a team to be reckoned with.

The fact is... There is only two people to thank for that.

Ted and Mark

I agree 100%.

Now there is a intelligent contribution to this thread.

As usual.

That zinger made me laugh out loud.

I am a dedicated Thompson apologist. Mike McCarthy sometimes gets on my nerves, though he is slowly winning me over, but my support of Ted Thompson remains steadfast.

I dont mind Ted's robo-tude

but MM's mastery of coach-speek really annoys me. I've just stopped watching his PCs (unless playoffs are involved)

tempo, tempo, tempo................. :physassult:

Ted has stayed true to what he knows and has built a very solid football team. This team was weak in many areas and old in the others when he got here yet he was able to build a roster and still put a solid team on the field.

I have said this before about how fortunate we really are here. The fruits of the building process are now primed for several years of competitiveness.

When you transition away from the players that were in their prime ten years ago and lose a once in a lifetime QB we could easily be sitting in a position like the Bears with a GM and HC grasping for players and mortgaging the future to win enough games to keep their jobs.

I like Ted's robo approach, nobody gets a read on him. I too believe he is doing a very good job. He has steadily built a strong team, with a solid core for years. Just imagine if he had drafted for need instead of Rodgers. The one part of the core he needs for the future is a Pro Bowl type CB to replace Woodson.

Core players as I see it now and future.

Offense:
Rodgers
Jennings
Filey
Driver
Clifton
Tauscher

Bulaga
Sitton
Lang

Defense:
Raji
Pickett
Jenkins
Matthews
Hawk
Barnett
Woodson
Collins

Neal
Burnnett
Jones

I went from a Ted Thompson hater to a Ted Thompson fan over the course of the last few seasons. He has built a good team. With all due respect though, I don't believe in separate. I believe in together, as in a true team. Let him walk down the parade with the rest of the team. Note I said rest of the team.

Too often the focus is on the QB. I disagree with that. When the Bucs beat the Raiders in that SB and they focused so much on the QB, I about puked. Nothing against him, but there probably could have been literally 20 QBs that year that would have won that game. The D won that game, not the QB.

That's what I'm getting at. Team. Ted Thompson is part of the team. He's of course the primary builder of the team and deserves a hell of a lot of credit. But the team still needs to execute.

I understand where you're coming from. He has been slandered. He has been underappreciated. Well, haven't we all? No matter what personality type you have, someone will hate you.
