As the charges (I think) have been dropped, it's easier to say the Packers should have picked him up but you could have said the same about Aldon Smith and Ray McDonald. I'm not saying they're identical circumstances, just saying red flags that clouded the decision at the time.

I can understand the frustration too. My jaw dropped watching that vine and I had a bit of an "oh $hit" moment thinking a very good Cowboy's line just got even better. I'm just saying hindsight makes things much clearer.

Too late now...the Cowboys got themselves another Larry Allen/Erik Williams type player on a tremendous OL. A guy like Collins could literally be the reason we lose to the Cowboys in the playoffs this time. All could've been prevented with a little foresight.

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."

There's probably a reason for that.

Our superstar quarterback was dragging his leg behind him the last 4 games. You want more from him.

It is extremely silly to give Rodgers a free pass and then not give the packers organization a free pass in this situation.

Kind of surprised to see only 35 players were drafted by Green Bay and that 17 were free agent additions and there was one waiver addition that comprises the 53 player roster this year.

How long was the inside linebacker position ignored, because we had awesome players in AJ Hawk and Brad Jones? Stupidity like that costs you championships. You don't get players like Aaron Rodgers every day. Isn't it the responsibility of the GM to put forth the very best team he can assemble and not go into each season with glaring holes?

The tight end position is weak, and our OT position is sketchy. And I've been praying for a Megatron/Dez Bryant type of talent at WR for a long time, just to make Rodgers' job easier.

We have a smaller window with Rodgers than people want to admit to. Basically 2011 through 2015 were pissed away. How many more will be like that. Like I've said, I've watched this movie before with Favre's career.

This story came out today........I think most of the players have had enough of Ted by not doing anything to help out the team by going after free agents. I'm sure it's frustrating to see certain vets signed by other teams.

Excellent article.
At least us "Yoopers" (McGinn is from the U.P.) can see Thompson for what he is.
Highly overrated.
