Some people pick a side and stubbornly and naively stick to it. I see trends and changes and acquire information that sometimes alters my perception. Such as when Ted Thompson took over the Packers, I was good with the trade high picks for more picks approach so we could build a solid roster. I believe we have a pretty decent core at this stage I feel the Packers need to be more surgical with draft picks and should use free agency when appropriate.

It's been said a side must be picked, or rather a call for someone to pick a side. There are no sides and that kind of divisive thinking is horrible.

I called him the greatest thrower of the football of all time. I was absolutely hammered and mocked relentlessly. Cries of ...way too soon. You can't say something like that...not enough evidence, etc. See, I didn't need to wait to know what I knew then. Later, all of a sudden after the years rolled by...Now, Aaron is all of a sudden exactly what I said years before. That's called...VISION. I don't need 6 years of playoff failure to alter my opinion or perception. It was never about the amount of time. It was about what was and still is. Our GM is a self styled smartest guy in the room type. He won't use FA like he should because it's just too much fun plugging in the LaDarius Gunter's of the world. It's just common sense. If you have 3 ways of making a team great and you're only exploring 2 of the 3, that puts you behind a team that's using all 3. Ted has hidden as much as he does from the media behind Aaron Rodgers. 12 has masked so many deficiencies on this team it's sad. Had Aaron been hot vs. Atlanta perhaps we win 45-44 and the hive is thrilled and this is justification that TT, MM and Dom are winners!!! No. It's justification that Aaron was really hot and we have a porous D that still gave up 44 points. You react way too much to the raw results without the vision of foreseeing them due to our organizational philosophy. If you can't see we have an embarrassment for our GM position I don't know what to say. He is not a man. No man hides like he does. He throws his HC out there to talk for him because he won't do it. That is Ted's job to stand up as the face of the organization when a season ends. He doesn't do it. It's pathetic. Oh, I get it...he's really just a scout so he can't do it? LOL. Ted is an oddball. A total weirdo. This is not the kind of guy you want running your franchise. Do guys really want to come play for him if they have any other option? I wouldn't. He's known to be cold and aloof with players and agents. Get us a freaking man to do Ted's job. A guy who'll stand up not run and hide. Resistant to change means welcome to decline while removing the possibility of improving.

How anyone can be happy with our braintrust is beyond me but they celebrate 8 years in the playoffs and division championships like it was a SB victory, so I guess that explains it.

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."

from packersnews.com:

A source told PackersNews.com on Friday that Thompson, aware his Super Bowl contender continues to underachieve, could show rare aggressiveness in the free-agent market this spring.

I said it earlier...the chatter is really loud and growing about us finally making a push to go all in...for once. Really hoping this is a case of where there's smoke there's fire, but seen a lot of blown smoke in Packerland over the years. Get it done.

Also, VERY encouraging, if true, that he's calling us an underachiever. Flies in the face of what he said when he said at 4-6 we weren't underachieving...just way it goes in the NFL. Is this tin man showing a semblance of a pulse?

I think Thompson should write all Packers fans settlement check$ for the unnecessary stress he's put us through.

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : New site so much better. Might make switch and deal with it.
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Mecole Hardman to our practice squad
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3
wpr (27-Aug) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Unfortunately he doesn't seem ready to be an emergency QB.
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Not sure if either will be claimed though.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Hopefully Jerry reaches under the seat cushions and ashtrays of his jet and scrapes up the 45 million apr and spares us further nonsense
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is
beast (27-Aug) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah
dfosterf (27-Aug) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work
dfosterf (27-Aug) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n
packerfanoutwest (27-Aug) : The Packers, meanwhile, are the youngest team in the league for the third consecutive year.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : He was getting Dorito infusion therapy
dfosterf (27-Aug) : He's outta shape. Why, just the other day I saw him splayed out on the trainers table
