There is so much content in here worth reading that will be passed over without thought because you, like myself, are labeled a Ted Thompson hater.

A-Rod made mistakes and Brett made mistakes. A-rod does good things, Brett does good things. The key is the balance between the two. I will take Brett's good over bad, over A-rods good over bad if the end result is 13-3 with Brett and 6-10 with A-Rod.

Brett didn't net 13 wins every year.
Aaron isn't going to net 6 wins every year.

Zero, are you going to kick our respective asses to the curb now?

PS.
I agree 100% with your post D80. Good job.

I just hate when certain posters try to slander Brett by saying, "He's lost it", "TT was a genius for dumping him", "TT made the right choice because Rodgers is better"...etc..etc, as a rationalization to try and support Ted Thompson.

I don't think you have to diss Brett to defend Thompson, but that's just me.

Where I will give Ted credit is in giving BF a good receiving corps in '07 to get to 13-3. That seems to be the strongest area of the team.

Truth be known, I'm TT's baby!

That's true, Zero. I do not like him. I don't have any problem being a Ted Thompson hater. The problem is I have reasons and some sort of rational behind it, whether you agree with it or not.

It's not like I woke up one day and said "I hate Ted Thompson".

And that is a good point. However I was comparing Ted's decision to choose A-Rod over Brett last year and I used Brett's last year and A-Rods first.

I don't think it really matters though as I would highly doubt A-Rod will put up the kind of ending-season records Brett did. If he did that we would have to be like the winningest franchise over 40 years or something.

They think you "hate" him just because of the Brett Favre incident.

But that simply isn't true.

There are plenty of other reasons to hate him in my book!

haha.

Right on man, I don't like that either AND THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS.

It's not Thompson Vs. Brett. I do think that most people who do not like Thompson, and think going with A-Rod over BF was a bad personel move, however get unfairly labeled as "Brett Lover".

It's easier to defend their stance by insinuating that it's just because we love "The Legend" because it's hard to argue otherwise based on TT's success rate.

Why would you guys be kicked to the curb? Hating Ted Thompson? I don't even like the guy that much so how hypocritical would that be? NO one has ever been or will be removed from this website due to their likeness or hate towards a former or current member of the Green Bay Packers. Hell, some of you guys hate ME and still don't get banned.

That's assuming by kicked to the curb, you meant banned.

Hey, AROD may be a good QB someday.

Right now, we really don't know that, STILL!

(That's the whole point, isn't it? Gambling on the unknown?)

I thought Ted was supposed to be conservative?
