This thread here I want to be a on going running thread about Ted's good moves and bad moves to date.

Greg Jennings instead of Chad Jackson.
Signing Charles Woodson.
Signing Ryan Pickett.
Signing Aaron Kampman.
Extending Donald Driver.
Not signing Chris Canty.
Not signing LaVar Arrington.


That's the kind of thing I'm looking for. Not so much of a discussion, but a solid list. Short, sweet and to the point.

That is your mission, can you dig it?

Pros

Allowing Marco Rivera to walk in FA
Allowing Green to walk in FA
Cutting KGB's contract
Drafting Aaron Rodgers
Allowing Mike Flannigan to walk in FA
Getting value back for Javon Walker
Making a decision on Brett Favre and sticking with it.

Cons
Not reworking or finding a way to keep Wahle's contract in the stable.
Thinking NFL quality guards are a dime a dozen
His strategy to replace Clifton/Tauscher
Missed on Manuel, Klemm, Roman, and Justin Harrell.
Not shoring up the defensive line depth with Carter or Holiday (Playing very well for the Broncs)

Just for starters.

---

Pro- Hiring McCarthy
Con- Derrick Frost

---

There are a bunch of bad moves in hindsight, but not ones that you can blame him for. Here are the ones that I think he just completely missed on:

Cutting Jon Ryan for Derrick Frost
Cutting Anthony Smith

---

Pros
Giving us: Rodgers, Jennings
Not wasting money in Free Agency
Signing Charles Woodson



Cons
Not trading a 4th rounder for Randy Moss cause he "lost his speed"
Not alot of depth behind the starters

---

Pro
releasing Carroll!!!!!
letting Bubba Franks walk. (One of my favorite players.)
Acquiring Grant. (If he only had a line....)
picking Jordy Nelson when he didn't need to go for another WR
Flynn round 7
Love Jennings pick enough to have him on my list too.

Con
Brohm
B Jackson (Terrible year for RB)
Rouse
lack of signing enough quality FA to go with the youth he has drafted.

---

PRO - not resigning Ahman Green when it was the popular choice.

---

Pro not signing Lavar Arrington (injury prone)


Pro making us the youngest team just about every year (gives us an excuse to bitch lol)


Cons None because he is Ted Thompson and he is AWESOME 😛

J/K

Pros

-His ability to find quality WRs(Jennings, Terrence Murphy, Jordy, Jones, Ruvell).

-His management of the cap.

-Drafting Rodgers.

-Not overspending in FA.

-Hiring Mccarthy and the new Defensive Staff.

-Getting rid of Favre and not wavering in his decision whatsoever, sticking up for and doing what was best for the franchise.

Cons

-Letting Wahle walk without adequetly replacing him.

-Refusing to give OAK anything more than a 5th for Moss.

-Taking a chance on Harrell with his extremely long injury history.

-Failure to compliment this young talent with veteran depth, to a degree.(Like others mentioned, Holliday/Carter at DE, nobody but Colledge to backup Clifton.


Overall, I am a huge supporter of Ted Thompson and believe he has and will continue to do a terrific job. This team is ready to compete with the big boys and now it is time to show it.
