Thompson must decide how much is too much· Page 3

Now is the time to makes some moves. We have the depth to recover if Ted Thompson misses on some free agents. I would love to see Ted Thompson ink a franchise guard (or two) this offseason and a stud DT (Albert Haynesworth anyone???)

The thing I like about Ted is that he's willing to trade picks if the right players are involved (eg. Moss, Gonzalez, Grant). He even traded up to grab Jeremy Thompson last draft. He's willing to shift his stance if it produces a better team. Hopefully, he'll do that next Spring.

Good lord, Albert Hayneswort would be unreal. He would have might have close to an effect on the D-line that we got when Reggie White came in(purely from a production standpoint)

Add 2 stud O-lineman and a third good cornerback and this team would be the favorite in the NFC or top 3 team for 5 years. Especially considering the fact that as well as Rodgers is playing, this will probably be his worst season since he will only get better. Give him a couple O-lineman so he can sit in the Pocket all day like Brady & Manning have done for so many years and this offense will be as good as any in the nfc.

But anyway, as far as the depth goes and stockpiling draft picks, there is no point anymore. Look at our roster. The depth guys are in place. We dont need to draft an O-lineman in the 4th round to replace the 4th rounder we drafted a year or two ago. Keep who we got and just focus on improving the NEED AREAS - OL and 3rd CB mostly and D-line only if we have a chance to get a monster. The key phrase here is"MAJOR UPGRADE", "DIFFERENCE MAKER", "GAME CHANGER" We have two on the roster, Harris & Woodson and thats it.

It's like alcohol it's fun to drink it but some idiots drink to much. (I'm not calling buckeye an idiot; he said, "I'm just srewing around a little")

But two of Ted Thompson years so far have been very very very injury prone. (including this year)

The another one the Packers had a new coach and a lot of players learning a new system.

And another one where the Packers went 14-4

Ted Thompson is a genius!!! Some how he has convinced most everyone that being barely over :500 after 3-1/2 years is exceptable.

He gets a pass because this guy got hurt or this guy sucked.

Funny how former GM's got no breaks at all. Ted Thompson IS A GENIUS!!!! Drink the cool-aid, and enjoy!!!

Go Packers!!!!

I don't know if Ted Thompson is a genius or not. But look at the whole picture.
He takes over as GM of a team that was heading south.
2001 was 12-4
2002 was 12-4
2003 was 10-6
2004 again 10-6 but the team was showing signs of growing weaker. Especially on the defensive side. (The points allowed was 266 back in 2001 and by 2004 it was up to 380.) The salary cap was maxed out. They had no room to manuever. They were set for a collapse which they did in 2005. If Sherman was still GM and coach maybe GB would have been 6-10 instead of 4-12 who knows.

So the base line for Ted Thompson is his 1st year. They have improved every year.
4-12
8-8 (winning the last 4)
12-4
This year is not done yet. So I will wait. Will they be 12-4 again even if they still had Brett? I doubt it. Can they be a respectible 10-6? It is possible. That is not a bad over all record for a any GM in his 1st 4 yrs esp if you consider how much turnover GB has had.

packerfanoutwest (3h) : 49ers are underdogs at Packers, ending streak of 36 straight games as favorites

Zero2Cool (11h) : 49ers might be down their QB, DL, TE and LT?

packerfanoutwest (22-Nov) : Jaire Alexander says he has a torn PCL

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : Even with the context it's ... what?

Mucky Tundra (20-Nov) : Matt LaFleur without context: “I don’t wanna pat you on the butt and you poop in my hand.”

beast (20-Nov) : We brought in a former Packers OL coach to help evaluate OL as a scout

beast (20-Nov) : Jets have been pretty good at picking DL

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He landed good players thanks to high draft slot. He isn't good.

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He can shove his knowledge up his ass. He knows nothing.

beast (20-Nov) : More knowledge, just like bring in the Jets head coach

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : What? Why? Huh?

beast (19-Nov) : I wonder if the Packers might to try to bring Douglas in through Milt Hendrickson/Ravens connections

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : The Jets fired Joe Douglas, per sources

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Jets are a mess......

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Pretty sure Jets fired their scouting staff and just pluck former Packers.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Jets sign Anders Carlson to their 53.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : When you cycle the weeks, the total over remains for season. But you get your W/L for that selected week. Confusing.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the total and percentage are the same as the previous weeks

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the totals are accurate..nrvrtmind

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : I don't follow what you are saying. The totals are not the same as last week.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : ok so then wht are the totals the same as last week?

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : NFL Pick'em is auto updated when NFL Scores tab is clicked

Martha Careful (19-Nov) : The offense was OK. Let's not forget the Bear defense is very very good.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Who updates the leaderboard on NFLPickem?

beast (19-Nov) : Has the Packers offense been worse since the former Jets coach joined the Packers?

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Offense gets his ass in gear, this could be good.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Backup QB helped with three wins. Special Teams contributed to three wins.

bboystyle (18-Nov) : Lions played outside thats why. They scored 16 and 17 in the only 2 outside games this year

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : The rest of the NFL is catching up to Packers ... kicking is an issue throughout league

packerfanoutwest (18-Nov) : Packers DL Kenny Clark: We knew 'we were going to block' Bears' game-winning field goal attempt

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : Lions seem to be throttling everyone, but only (only) got 24 lol maybe the rain is why

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : Packers vs Lions game doesn't seem so bad.

beast (18-Nov) : Dennis Green "They are what we thought they were, and we let them off the hook!"

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : comment of the day Z2Cool "Bears better than we want to admit. Packers worse than we think. It's facts."

Mucky Tundra (17-Nov) : my worst case scenario: Bears fix their oline and get a coach like Johnson from the Lions and his scheme

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Bears get OL fixed amd we might have a problem

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Pretty sure they already have scouting reports on guys who aren't even starting for their college team. The future is now for me.

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : I tend to let Gute and Co. Worry about the future.

beast (17-Nov) : That's great news and Packers need to keep upgrading their OL, DL and DBs this off-season, so missing one guy doesn't kill them

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Jaire and Evans Williams are both ACTIVE! Good news.

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : The badgers really need to change the whole offensive scheme. No draws no screens plus the quarterback is marginal

Cheesey (17-Nov) : If the Badgers had a decent QB, they would have won. The guy can't hit a wide open receiver

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : chop block

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : there was a very questionable job Block call that upon viewing replay was very borderline

beast (17-Nov) : How so? (I didn't watch)

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Badgers got hosed vs Oregon

packerfanoutwest (16-Nov) : damn,he hasn't played since week 2

Mucky Tundra (15-Nov) : poor guy can't catch a break
