Ok the reason i can't stand Ted Thompson:
1) He wants all the fame of building a team
2) He refuses to bring in Big Impact players
3) Always trades down and never drafts up in the early rounds
4) He looks like an idiot
5) He don't know how to talk to the public
6) Its his way or the highway even if he knows its not working
7) Built a losing team ( 1 winning season out of 4)
8 ) Thinks quantity is better than quality
Last but the biggest thing is i'm tired of hearing of this so called plan and planning for the future. When the hell will the future be the present?
There thats just a small list from me
Plus a little of what RP said

1) Sorry he resigned a bunch of core players from the Sherman days like Clifton, Tauscher, Kampman, Barnett, Harris, Driver. I'm not even close to convinced of this.
2) I don't know...I think Charles Woodson is an impact player. I also think Ryan Pickett helped our team the last 2 years as a starting DT. He did really well in '07. Ryan Grant was an impact player in '07 for us and he got him for a 6th. Donald Lee and Atari Bigby too were both intricate pieces of our team in '07. Please...I want you to list the "impact" players he should have brought in.
3) Are you serious? Trading up should be rare. Seriously. In today's NFL, trading down should be much more prevalent. The draft is a crapshoot and usually the more picks you have, the better chance of you landing a starter.
4) Awesome reasoning. I know you are just joking and trying to get a rise out of us.
5) Great. I don't care how he talks. Do you want to be judged by the way you type?
6) What kind of point is this? If it's his way and it's wrong...he'll get fired. Simple as that. Why would he want to keep doing something wrong if it would get him fired? It's stupid. Spare me the "ego" talk.
7) Point taken. Some people see the improvement from 4-12 to 8-8 to 13-3 as a positive direction. I hated last season and Ted Thompson should part some of the blame. I still see him as the guy who almost built our team into a Super Bowl contending team.
8 ) I think it's a matter of opinion. Of course he hasn't done that well in the 1st round, but Ron Wolf wasn't very good there either. I think he's done a fine job of giving this team talent through the draft.
