You act like this is rocket science. It's not so unknowable that you can't have an informed opinion? Not sure what you think makes Ted Thompson so qualified for the job?/quote
(1) Ted knows football, he understands what it takes to play an NFL position. (2) He can look at tape and relate it to a player's ability to play a position. (3) He can apply this knowledge to the fact that a team only has X dollars to spend and spending on one position or one year prevents the spending on other positions or other years.
Not knowing makes you a fan. But, your stone-cold refusal to even try to understand football makes you the dumbest self proclaimed expert loud mouth on the internet today in all of sports.
You cant understand football or recognizing talent, so all you have to base your opinions on is stats. EVERYTHING you know comes from stats. Adams is a perfect example: his height weight speed stats are pedestrian, his receiving stats horrible; ergo, you conclude he'll get cut. But, you had a chance to learn, you trashed one of his best days when he had 21 targets and 10 catches. So I broke down the 11 missed targets for you one by one. I educated you on his ability to separate, run routes and challenge for the ball, I educated you on the difficulty in GB's system for a 2nd yr WR to get on the same page as Rodgers; but you refused to learn...REFUSED.
Jordy! You said he's 31 and wont recover from ACL; obviously some stupid stat says so. This is not a 31 YO WR, it is JORDY EFFING NELSON! He not only was great this year, he played great two weeks removed from 2 broken ribs. Did you see Rodgers choke up in his PC about Jordy's performance? Rodgers saw 1st hand what a stud Jordy is; saw him work during the week, heard him gasping for air while wincing in pain the huddle. I wish someone would ask about that. If we won, Jordy's play would have gone down in Packer Lore. Now Jordy's heroism might be lost because the entire GB press corp is so negative and has no stomach for an important feel good story.
But, you fiercely disregarded good information on Jordy and Adams and ferociously clung to your ignorance while expressing idiotic worthless stats to support your fan-babble. Yet you arrogantly profess to be more expert than Ted. Surely, after looking like a total dipshit about cutting Jordy and Adams you'd try to learn what Ted does. No way, Smokey's is right!
Note: Unless you respond relevantly and honestly instead of with your typical obligatory troll replies, which will do everything but, and have you finagling argument through "moving the goalpost," ad hominems, strawmen, red hearings, etc, your reply will be ignored]
