I would be willing to bet one years posting on this site with anybody that wants it that REGARDLESS of the record this year or NEXT YEAR both Ted Thompson and Mike McCarthy will be here.

You see I BELIEVE that there are people in the front office a lot smarter than some on this forum who see's whats TRUE and what is FALSE regarding this football team.

First of all no one in the front office gives a rats ass what the record was in '05 and don't hold Ted Thompson accountable for the miserable job at GM that preceeded him.

The talent on this club is off the charts better than what Thompson inherited in 05. Just ask Ron Wolfe. I wonder how many European caliber players he can pick out on this roster?

They are also aware of the learning curve and experience gained by ARod that will pay dividends in the future because he obviously has the ability to be one of the premier QB's in the NFL.

We've got the youngest team in the NFL with a first year starting QB and we lose a buttload of last minute games and everybody is running out of the building yelling "fire, fire," and all it really amounts to is some good old boys out back grilling some brauts and drinking a beer.

Chill out. These guys aint going nowhere.

I keep seeing people saying this i would like to see the evidence to prove this. After all we have had 1 YES 1 winning season under Ted Thompson so how is this team so great?
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

WOAHHHHHHHh


Correct me if I am wrong..

but we are told that the reason Brett had such a bad time of it in 05 is because of the ROSTER, you know 3rd, 4th and 5th stringers?

Is that good enuff evidence???

I voted "Neither Should Go." I loved MM last year. Said nothing but good things about him. But this year, I'm wondering if there's a doppleganger in there and the real MM was eaten by zombies.

This year, he's failing to motivate. I don't see a Packers team fired up and ready to kick some ***. I see certain individual players fired up and ready to kick, but not a team. I don't think I need to explain the difference here.

The other thing, Ted Thompson needs to build both lines. Let's be honest - the only guy that is awesome on both sides is Kampy and he's someone Ted Thompson inherited.

That said, I still say neither should go. It takes TIME to build. It is year 4 for Ted Thompson and year 3 for MM. BUT, if we have a losing season next year, both should be on the hot seat. I am only so patient. I want results, and we've had enough time to rebuild. We should be seeing results soon.

The other thing I see which I completely disagree with most of the board here - Aaron Rodgers is fine. He's been wonderful. I'm tired of people using "we have a first year starter" for an excuse to be 5-9. It's no excuse, because Aaron is not the problem. The problems are:
1) The lines (both sides),
2) Motivation/Aggression/Determination
Ted Thompson needs to be held accountable for #1. MM for #2. '09, we need to have a winning season. Maybe some of you are content with seeing the Packers lose, but I'm not.

I will not change my vote. I will say, however, that after last night's performance, if Mike McCarthy's team does not have a winning season next year, unless there are some incredibly extenuating circumstances, I will chorus calling for him to be canned. If he can't show enough confidence in his quarterback to give him a chance to win the game, despite giving him a $65 million contract, he needs to go.

It never ceases to amaze me how shortsighted fans and commentators are. Last year Ted Thompson and Mike McCarthy were geniuses; hell, Thompson won "Executive of the Year" award. This year people are calling for their heads. Few coaches are as lucky as Jeff Fisher or Bill Cowher to have enough time, through the good seasons and bad, to finally have some success. After one or two bad campaigns, most coaches are out these days. Few teams have the luxury of continuity.

    wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
    Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
    Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
    Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024
    Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.
    dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move
    dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish
    Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need
    dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.
    dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.
    Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.
    dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
    Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
    Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
    Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately
    Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.
    dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.
    Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not
    Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
    Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?
    Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?
    Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb
    wpr (9-Apr) : yay
    Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland
    Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'
    Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*
    Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you
    Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?
    Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.
    Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.
    Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.
