The one thing I never understand is personal attachment to any one player. These men are PROPERTY of the Green Bay Packers. Every one of them can be gone with each snap they play. Yet some of us sit here pining for a cut or traded player.

It is rather senseless or at the very least nit-picking to go after Thompson for a move he could have made or in complete hindsight should have made when he is the one responsible for the entire body of work.

The simple truth is the players on the roster are there because Ted Thompson chooses to put them there. So obviously he is right in his thinking to a much greater degree than he is wrong.

The guy know personnel and how to keep the core players needed and how to juggle the cap to make sure they don't get caught in a crack and he darn sure knows how to draft football players.

And he's done this with a clear eye on the future with what I would have to say is the deepest pool of young players I can actually EVER recall and I've been following this crew since '60.

Sure a lot better than some dickhead worried about his job mortgaging the future for some players to get "W's" now and when that doesn't work and he's gone he leaves us all standing here screwed.

I'm sure there's a Bears fan around here somewhere listening to this and you can bet he would give his right stone for Ted Thompson about now.

Ted and MM look as if they have things going in the right direction. I'm not going to crown either of them after a 7-1 finish but I'm not going to critisise them right now either.

Most everyone is assuming The Packers are going to be a winning team for at least a few more years, maybe longer.

4-12...8-8....13-3...6-10...11-5.

Let's hope they break the cycle and continue winning, because as it has been said many times,"winning cures all"

Just because someone doesn't agree with every move Ted Thompson makes, doesn't mean that person is a "Ted hater", as Z said earlier,"people do have a right to change their mind".

What amazes me is that some of you who say you "have backed Ted since the beginning", are the same people who bash the players he has given MM to work with saying how much they suck and wanting them cut.

There were plenty of things to gripe about when The Packers were 4-4, but going 4-4(losing to Tampa Bay), as RP so rightly stated at the time, was probably the best thing to happen to THE TEAM.

That was the turning point of this season, hopefully for many years to come. There are no guarantees, Kudos to Ted and Mike for a successful 2009 season.

Supporting Ted Thompson and MM should mean supporting the players who make up the team, that I don't see much in some cases. JMHO

Should it? I support Ted in the bigger picture and I support his methods. That doesn't mean that I have to like his every move.

For instance, I didn't like that we traded up to the 26th spot, while we could've traded up 3 picks earlier and could've gotten ourselfs a premier (R)T.

I'm just asuming the Pats would've accepted that same offer, here.

That means that I didn't support his one move. As much as I love Clay, I still think it would've been better to go for Oher. That doesn't mean that I don't support the man overall.

I try to judge him on what he's doing. So far, that's the only flaw I could find. He's invested the picks in the O-line, he's mostly drafted BPA, it's just that he didn't go for a good tackle there.

I even like the Bush resigning.

Go Ted.

Actually, buckeyepackfan, if you read my posts, you'll see I was more pissed at the fans clamoring for what I called the "reunion team" than I was with Thompson for bringing them in. I want Thompson to bring in the best options available. But the fan's nostalgia for former Packers players annoys me.

It's amazingly ironic that, for a man who puts wins and losses on the shoulders of QBs, you make a difference between rushing TDs and passing TDs.

It makes little sense.

But then again, every time you look up, Jennings is taking a short pass to the house for massive YAC. ;)

It really does amaze me that this team was literally 3 seconds away from going 12-4. 12-4 does sound so much better than 11-5.

But I'll take 11-5 over, well, almost anything else any day.

beast (17h) : 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
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately
Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.
dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb
wpr (9-Apr) : yay
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland
Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'
Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.
