I agree with Peter King, but for different reasons.

Based on the 2009 draft alone, this is a no-brainer I think. Raji, Matthews, T.J. Lang, Quinn Johnson, and Brad Jones all made significant contributions this year, ON A WINNING/PLAYOFF team.

I capitalized those two words, because some people deem a draft successful solely on the fact that the players get on the field. Its one thing to get a lot of playing time on a losing team; its quite another to actually contribute to a WINNING team.

FIRE HIM!

lol

Some people in Green Bay will never like him.

When he wins the Superbowl, and name a street after him, some people will insist that street is headed straight out of town.

I admire him. He laid out a long term plan. He has never wavered, never changed the long term plan, and never succumb to pressure from the fans and or press.

He is a man of conviction.

the white wizard....love how he builds through the draft....just i hope he will be aggressive in FA if he sees a good deal at the good prize like he did for "grease" and "chuckie"...


hats off on him

think about organizations like the Redskins and any whiny GB fans just sound...well...whiny (and spoiled) and that includes me if i've ever gotten frustrated enough to lay blame in any direction i could think of.

I still think he's an idiot. lol. But I think that this year's draft + him not caving to Brett's tantrums + playoffs = Ted should at least be in the discussion for exec of the year.

our dis/like of Peter King is completely irrelevant. This thread is about agreeing with this specific article.

Back to the topic, we have a Mike McCarthy thread, and definitely now have a well-deserved Ted Thompson thread. We'd all like to see a little more action in F. A. but this guy can draft.

Matthews, Finley, and Aaron appear to be destined to be absolute studs, maybe with eventual all-pro potential, not to mention myriad other players already discussed.

TT is a great GM. I'm glad we've got him. I'm also surprised we've got those other front office guys yet, Reggie McKenzie and whats the other guy's name?

I think A.J. Smith in San Diego deserves consideration. Even, Rick Spielman in Minnesota. I'd probably choose between one of those two.

My guess is it'll end up being Jerry Jones though because that's the way it is. If Dallas is good, they're the greatest team ever, and if they aren't, they're the worst team ever. Nothing in between with the. I'm talking about their public perception of course. It would be joke that Jones gets it since it's still Bill Parcells holdovers that are leading the way in Dallas.

As far as Ted Thompson.... I think he's proven to be a solid GM. He's drafted a lot of solid players that have futures in this organization. Aaron Rodgers, Greg Jennings, Jermichael Finley, Josh Sitton, Nick Collins, Clay Matthews, Johnny Jolly, and B.J. Raji are at the top. He's also done a nice job of keeping a lot of the younger holdovers from the previous regime around. Cullen Jenkins and Nick Barnett come to mind. He also hit the jackpot on Charles Woodson. Ryan Pickett has been solid and Brandon Chiller is a great role player too.

I feel like the team is on the rise. Even in 2007, everyone had that feeling that they would struggle without Favre in the coming years, but that hasn't been the case.
