It's official: Ted is good.

AJ Hawk was never ever close to living up to being the 5th pick in the draft.

Colledge and Spitz cited? What?

Richard Rodgers had an impressive year? To who?

---I love the Pack but the person who wrote this is worse than a homer. The view of TT's drafts is very flawed.

I'm honestly surprised Demetri Goodson wasn't touted from our last draft the way this guy assessed things.

Just a pure propaganda piece. Zero objectivity save for the comment on Hawk.

EDIT: I just read the comments below the article at JSO...wow, some actual sane Packers fans who are objective. I was shocked. It looks like most of them realize how ridiculous that puff piece was and Ted Thompson is barely middle of the road. I really, really, loved the commenter who pointed out you have to hit every single year to build a juggernaut if you're not going to explore FA. Ted Thompson has had some absolutely BRUTAL drafts...furthest thing in the world from "stellar".

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."

Go look at the comments below...they are spot on. Some smart fans down there. Grading each draft individually looking back give a clear picture of him being nothing more than about average.

As for Ted Thompson being "middle of the road", I would have to say considering he's drafting at the back of each round that he has over acheived, you know, if I use your words and combine them with facts.

That's right this is a forum.
Where people come to discuss The Packers and give their opinions.

HOW MANY DAMN TIMES DO YOU HAVE TO POST THE SAME OLD DAMN STUFF.

We all get it, you don't like Ted Thompson, that's fine, for almost a year now all you have done is try and find the negative in every move, player and even fans.

You prove every Damn time you post that you don't have a clue what it takes to keep together a winning team.

You have no original ideas other than Ted Thompson SUCKS and shouldn't be GM.

why not try what most do here, express your opinion on a subject, then move on.

No you have to try and prove to everyone here that You ARE ALWAYS RIGHT, and you will stop at no lengths to try and prove it.

It's tiring and just plain spamming.

You don't like Ted Thompson.

Fine.

Guess what he is going to be around as long as he wants to be.

You can't deal with that, that is your problem.

One more to time.
WE ALL KNOW YOU DONT LIKE TED THOMPSON!

Please quit spamming EVERY DAMN THREAD.

You are not impressing anyone.

LOL at Buck and Nerd. I can't stand Brett Favre. The happiest day of my Packer fandom was the day he got traded to the NYJ. That was a hilarious move by TT. That is the most I have ever respected TT... shipping that arrogant waffling SOB to the Jets was pure deliciousness.

Steve...you ask what 15 GM's are better? Not indicated by my post. Go look at these "stellar" drafts of his and grade them individually. Come back and tell me how he's "stellar". It is beyond ridiculous to say he's "stellar" at drafting. He's very very good at UDFA players. His draft grades are NOT consistently above average. Stellar would indicate, to me, he's consistently excellent...the biggest homer would have to admit he's not been.

Buck...irony is lost upon you, obviously. If I'm hammering Ted Thompson then it's in response to this unbridled praise of him. There has to be a proportionate amount of Ted Thompson worship doesn't there? Yes, there does. I'm more tired of this Ted Thompson is so great talk than you are of me trying to debunk the lie. You guys repeat this garbage so often and have your ears tickled so often you fail to even begin to try being objective. You can call me whatever you like but I use my brain and wade through the BS spin put on TT's greatness. Packerland has the most milquetoast media of ANY NFL team. Outside of Bob McGinn, all Packer media is SPINELESS and HOMERISTIC. It's the nature of being part of Packers media. I can only imagine how Ted Thompson would be viewed if we swapped our fanbase for Philly's? It's great being optimistic and loving your team but to shut your mind off to reality is an entirely different subject. If you're happy there, I'm sorry. I'm not and will never tire of fighting the lie that Ted Thompson is some genius. I only wish we could see Ted Thompson minus Aaron Rodgers. Good luck to him, then. The smarter fan who commented under that ridiculous puff piece understands that where you don't.

I'm a bit in the middle on this. He's certainly amongst the top GMs in my book, but his drafting hasn't been spot on every year...

Thing is, none of the GMs drafting have been. A guy like Belicheck just always gets the right pieces in FA. Something we only do once every couple of years.

dfosterf (2h) : from ft Belvoir, Quantico and points south. Somber reminder of this tragedy at Reagan Nat Airport

dfosterf (2h) : So eerily quiet here in Alexandria. I live in the flight path of commercial craft coming from the south and west, plus the military craft

dfosterf (2h) : So eeri

Mucky Tundra (5h) : Now that's a thought, maybe they're looking at the college ranks? Maybe not head coaches but DC/assistant DCs with league experience?

beast (7h) : College Coaches wouldn't want that publicly, as it would hurt recruiting and they might not get the job.

beast (7h) : I thought they were supposed to publicly announce them, at least the NFL ones. Hafley was from college, so I believe different rules.

Mucky Tundra (7h) : Who knows who they're interviewing? I mean, nobody knew about Hafley and then out of nowhere he was hired

beast (10h) : I wonder what's taking so long with hiring a DL coach, 2 of the 3 known to interview have already been hired elsewhere.

Zero2Cool (27-Jan) : Packers coach Matt LaFleur hires Luke Getsy as senior assistant, extends Rich Bisaccia's deal

Zero2Cool (27-Jan) : Chiefs again huh? I guess another Super Bowl I'll be finding something else to do.

Mucky Tundra (27-Jan) : Chiefs Eagles...again...sigh

dfosterf (27-Jan) : Happy Birthday Dave!

Mucky Tundra (27-Jan) : happy birthday dhazer

TheKanataThrilla (26-Jan) : Exactly buck...Washington came up with the ball. It is just a shitty coincidence one week later

buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : I forgot, they corrected the call a week later. Lol btw HAPPY BIRTHDAY dhazer!

buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : That brings up the question, why wasn't Nixon down by contact? I think that was the point Kanata was making.

buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : Turnovers rule, win the turnover battle, win the game.

packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : well, he was

TheKanataThrilla (26-Jan) : Eagles down by contact on the fumble....fuck you NFL

Mucky Tundra (26-Jan) : I think this games over

beast (26-Jan) : Eagles sure get a lot of fumbles on kickoffs

Mucky Tundra (26-Jan) : This game looks too big for Washington

packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : that being said, The Ravens are the Browns

packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : Browns, Dolphins have longest AFC Championship droughts

packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : As of today, Cowboys have longest NFC Championship drought,

beast (26-Jan) : Someone pointed out, with Raiders hiring Carroll, the division games between Carroll and Jim Harbaugh are back on (who can whine more games)

beast (26-Jan) : I'm confused, Pete Carroll and Brian Schottenheimer? When Todd Monken, Joe Brady, Kellen Moore, Kliff Kingsbury and Zac Robinson are availab

Zero2Cool (25-Jan) : Any reason I'm catching a shot here about my intelligence?

Martha Careful (25-Jan) : thank you Mucky for sticking up for me

Martha Careful (25-Jan) : some of those people are smarter than you zero. However Pete Carroll is not

Mucky Tundra (24-Jan) : Rude!

beast (24-Jan) : Martha? 😋

Zero2Cool (24-Jan) : Raiders hired someone from the elderly home.

dfosterf (24-Jan) : I'm going with a combination of the two.

beast (24-Jan) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Fake news. Cowboys say no

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.

beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you

wpr (22-Jan) : Z, glad you are feeling better.

wpr (22-Jan) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.

wpr (22-Jan) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.
