Are you people still claiming that Ted Thompson has NOT done a crappy job of building a team? I say AGAIN, Aaron Rodgers masked a helluva lot of badness - O Line, D Line, LBs .....

A lot of teams have the excuse of injuries; A lot of teams haven't had very high draft picks, but NOBODY has piece of shit on the field like Raji, Newhouse, and to only slightly lesser extent, about a dozen others.

Sure, the Lions played over their heads today, but other teams just don't have as pathetic personnel as the Packers have outside of Aaron Rodgers and 3 or 4 others.

Thank you Ted Thompson.

You think vince young is a legit qb therefore your opinion is irrelevant

TT has only so much money he can spend with
the salary cap. Ted Thompson put together a Super Bowl winning team
a couple years ago.
There are teams that never even went to a S Bowl.

This is such naive and spoiled comment.

Ted hasn't been perfect. No GM has. But for the rules and pieces that have been put into place, he has done a hell of a job. How could Ted have predicted the injuries? The failure of a defensive coaching staff that had only 3 years earlier won a Super Bowl? Watch some changes happen next year, but Ted Thompson has been good if not great considering. I am not happy with this team, but this team shows promise EVERY year and will show promise NEXT year and the NEXT year.

What do you want though, a team that has old vets that will fill up your cap or all magic 6th round picks? This team will be back next year. Be glad, though, that injuries happened NOW.

I was just looking back at the 2010 season and I find it amazing that in the NFC 7 teams in the NFC that year and 6 make the playoffs. Yes we won the Super Bowl but did we have an awesome team I say no, we got on a run and thanks to a Jackson punt return we got into the dance.

I think people have worn to many green and gold glasses and dont want to admit we have gotten lucky lately but we haven't really been the best team in the league since Ted Thompson took over. Hell Sherman took us to the playoffs a few years in a row and we fired him.
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

Ted is not the best GM in the league, but I do believe he is top 5 and if we get rid of him, who takes his place that is better? I just see a division that has caught up. It is not just the Packers anymore.
Circular Arguments: They are a heck of an annoyance
Fan Shout
dfosterf (4m) : OTC has increased Packers cap room to over 32 mil
Martha Careful (1h) : RIP Junior Bridgeman. An excellent businessman and NBA er
Zero2Cool (3h) : It's better to have $17m to use on players who will be on the field. That's why trade/release is talked
Zero2Cool (3h) : post june is $7m cap hit with $17m saving
Zero2Cool (3h) : oops meant $10m cap hit
Zero2Cool (3h) : And pre june is $10m savings
Zero2Cool (3h) : Can't make him play.
dhazer (3h) : I am curious why the big need to release Jaire, we have 29 million cap space we arent spending and would only gain $6 million/ make him play
Zero2Cool (4h) : Joey Bosa signed with Bills?
dfosterf (5h) : What they are offering is a left over case of Leinies from the Chippewa Falls plant
Zero2Cool (5h) : 27, 59, 91, 129 gets you Jaire and our 3rd
Zero2Cool (5h) : they give us those five, or even first four, they can have Jaire.
Zero2Cool (5h) : 27, 59, 91, 129 and 136 are only ones worth having of theirs.
dfosterf (5h) : What they don't have is cap space, at least presently at 5.6 mil
dfosterf (5h) : Poor bastards only have 11
Zero2Cool (5h) : Ravens ain't got crap for picks.
Zero2Cool (5h) : Aaron Rodgers is choosing between Steelers and Giants. The Vikings are officially out on him, per RapSheet
dfosterf (5h) : Current cap space 29.6 million.
dfosterf (5h) : Hobbs 2025 cap hit just under 6 million. Banks 2025 cap hit just over 9 million
Mucky Tundra (12h) : beast, this is news to me! Tell me more about these, "draft picks." They seem mighty mysterious! 😉
beast (14h) : Yes, the Ravens have draft picks
dfosterf (15h) : Good luck to him.
Zero2Cool (16h) : Eric Stokes signs with Raiders
Martha Careful (17h) : Tyler Linderbaum C
Mucky Tundra (17h) : Cap space?
Zero2Cool (17h) : Do Ravens have anything we'd even entertain to have?
Mucky Tundra (20h) : I've seen trade ideas of Jaire going to the Ravens all offseason
beast (21h) : A probably false rumor is suggesting CB Jaire Alexander is being traded to the Ravens, again probably false
beast (21h) : Commanders might have a dominant offense the next 3 years at least
Zero2Cool (23h) : San Francisco 49ers announced they have released DL Leonard Floyd.
Mucky Tundra (11-Mar) : Er getting traded twice like that
Mucky Tundra (11-Mar) : Huh, LT Laremy Tunsil traded from Houston to Washington. Never heard of a top OT getting traded in his career like that
Martha Careful (11-Mar) : Minnesota Vikings cornerback Byron Murphy Jr. is returning on a three-year, $66 million deal
Zero2Cool (11-Mar) : Damn
Martha Careful (11-Mar) : Saints are re-signing DE Chase Young to a three-year, $51 million deal worth up to $57 million.
Martha Careful (11-Mar) : 49ers releasing FB Juszcyk any interest?
Zero2Cool (11-Mar) : digits of four
Zero2Cool (11-Mar) : four digits
Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : Eh, don't think so. better to split
Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : on new site, would Fan Shout and GameDay Chat show same messages?
Mucky Tundra (10-Mar) : The Hall of Fame stuff probably came from a scout as Zero said; at this point though it's hard to see them moving ZT from RT
Mucky Tundra (10-Mar) : Regarding ZT at C, Gute had said he felt C was ZTs best position after he was drafted.
Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : LB Oren Burks to sign a 2-year, $5M deal with the Bengals.
Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : Based on how it was worded at the time, probably scout.
beast (10-Mar) : I don't think the media person ever told the public the source, but Gute or LaFleur did say they thought Tom has earned his spot at OT
beast (10-Mar) : I think it was supposedly unnamed Packers source
buckeyepackfan (10-Mar) : Was that Gute or Lefleur or someone else?
buckeyepackfan (10-Mar) : Zach Tom could be a really good guard, an all pro tackle, but probably be a HOF Center. Who said that?
Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : It's March 10th. I don't think anything is done.
Martha Careful (10-Mar) : if we think CB is done, we have a poor roster
