If you owned a franchise who would you name as general manager and head coach? Who would you want as your quarterback?

Gil Brandt, NFL.com

Hi Eric. Well, I probably would want Bill Belichick as my head coach.

I think I would want Ted Thompson of Green Bay as my general manager

and Peyton Manning as my quarterback.

One more thing.. If I had my choice, I'd also want Jerry Jones to be the owner.

Imagine what kind of team Ted Thompson and Jerry Jones would put on the field. Thompson would stock the depth with low-priced talent, and Jerry Jones would stress the salary cap with high-priced superstars. It would be interesting to watch that tug-o-war.

It would never work.. Jerry Jones steps on to many toes for the conservative Thompson.. Jerry would never allow him to do his job on his own terms.

That marriage would last less than a year...

There is a ton that I don't like about Jerry Jones.. but if I was an owner of a franchise, I would be ultra hands on ala Jones.. minus all the other pompous bull pucky..

And it adds one more EXPERT opinion on that Ted is a solid GM

You know, an opinion that REALLY knows what he is talking about

It isn't much of a secret that Thompson is well respect around the league. My guess if that if he doesn't end up staying in Green Bay much longer he'll land on his feet elsewhere and probably have success.

Who the hell is Gil Brandt anyway? I'd rather listen to some of the posters here, who know how evil Ted Thompson really is.

packerfanoutwest (1h) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

Zero2Cool (1h) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat

wpr (1h) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.

wpr (1h) : now 3

Zero2Cool (2h) : Who? What?

beast (11h) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (16h) : meh

Zero2Cool (20h) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (20h) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (20h) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (23h) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (23h) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (21-Apr) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
