Ted Thompson is NOT the reason the Packers won the SB in 2010. AARON RODGERS is the reason.

I will agree that the team had full blown motivation, but they rode Rodgers back to the championship...there was no one else even close in being the reason this team won it all that year. Rodgers was SB MVP followed by league MVP. He hasn't been anywhere near as good since those two things. I really was worried about "Rocky Syndrome" after all his accolades...throw in the big contract and he can't possibly be motivated as he was.

Who was it if not Aaron Rodgers? If you say the defense, I will smile a little recalling that Caleb Hanie, yes, the Caleb Hanie 3rd string QB nearly ended us in the NFC Championship game.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

It was the defense that ripped the Falcons throat out with the INT TD return at the end of the first half that blew the game open. They gave up 14 points to Hanie but don't forget they also created the 7 points that won the game after the offense sputtered thanks to the hit Peppers put on Rodgers. It was the defense that scored an INT TD return in a 6 point win as well as stole the momentum away from the Steelers in the 2nd half off the Mendenhall fumble. 11 TOs, 11 sacks, 3 TDs scored over 4 games on the road every game against 3 division winners all played during the regular season (2X with the Bears) and in the Super Bowl.

back2reality - The flaws to Draft and Develop approach are zero, none. Just like any approach, if executed properly, it is effective. For whatever reason, the Packers coaching staff is unable to develop a lot of the draft picks in the upper rounds.

Food for thought. What does it mean when undrafted players are routinely making the Packers roster? 🤔

Yes, obviously Aaron Rodgers was a big part, likely the single biggest contributor. But he had a lot of help. That's the reason the Packers can't advance in the playoffs recently. Aaron Rodgers isn't good enough to truly do it by himself, and he needs more help. From every facet of the team from blocking, tackling, pressure, coverage, special teams, etc.
