I want to apologize to the long standing members of this forum.

It is the off season and there is mot much happening right now.

I needed a little laugh so I started this thread knowing uffda just wouldn't be able to resist another chance to hijack a thread and
Post his same old predictable thoughts on Ted Thompson.

Another chance to prove to us all just how much more intelligent he is.

Damn it worked even better than I thought it would.

The original article is based on the number of pro bowl players gm's have drafted.

NoTHING else.

I was betting uffda wouldn't read it and Damn I was right again.

Some people are just easy to fuck with.

Sorry again.

😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄

No I'm not.

That was fun.

It's good to be the puppet master!

Wow, that is truly a measure of your prowess as a GM. Unfreakingreal how goofy you get over a completely INANE article written by someone NOBODY has ever heard of. Jerry Jones is the best GM in the league. I would hope there are hundreds of guys like me out on Cowboys forums just skewering guys like you who are claiming JJ is the best GM in the NFL because some nobody said he was.

Delusion is strong, Buck. Very strong.

I see the topic is about Ted Thompson being one of the best General Managers in the NFL. That is true and if he weren't good at his job, he would not still be with the Packers with recently receiving a well deserved contract extension.

Someone else said it best. If you don't want Thompson, who would be better?

The central point will never change... minus Aaron Rodgers Ted Thompson is what exactly? How great is he then? You will never ever find out because he'll retire before he has to prove he's not what you think he is as Aaron will be here TT's entire tenure. This point will never ever go away and those who choose to ignore this baffle me.

Tom Brady in New England has been to the show SIX times because his org knows how to put a team around him. Steelers have been there multiple times under Big Ben because their org knows how to build a team. The NYG and Eli freaking Manning have been there more than Aaron Rodgers and the Packers. Tell me again how wonderful Ted Thompson is? It is the whole idea of being satisfied with being good. Judged in terms of greatness Ted Thompson is a total failure. Everyone's standards are different. Mine are just a tad bit higher than most of the crowd here. I find kinship with those who aim a little higher than winning the division every year and losing in the playoffs but that's just me. Squander Rodgers career. One SB appearance for possibly the greatest QB to ever play the game. Yup, total success there under TT.

That's right, teams extended general managers because they are not good at their job. Brilliant observation there. Just brilliant. (Lions anyone?)

I think it's extremely moronic for people to say things like "Well, what if you take that 76 yard run away, suddenly that 143 yards he gained isn't so special now is it?" ... Fact is, it did happen and when you start removing things, you lose ALL credibility because it shows you are failing to be objective and confirming you have an agenda.

This defense specifically I think was a bottom half of the league defense the first half of the season and close to top 10 the 2nd half/playoffs. Which is why I wanted to ditch Dom. Obviously we had the players to field a competitive defense like we did the 2nd half of the year. I want a coach who is going to play the right players from the start.

This is not necessarily an endorsement for Dom, but isn't seeing improvement from players and units the goal? With the new CBA severely restricting practice times and so much turnover on rosters, even on the Packers, this is going to happen to GB or any team. The media asked about Tom Brady being benched in week 3. Seattle looked like shit through week 8.

You're not going to know as much about your players, their strengths, how they gel etc. on Sept 1 as you will on Dec 1. I'm stealing ideas from Ketchman, but September is evolving into the new preseason.

Sorry...back to the thread.

YOU DIDN'T READ THE ARTICLE!

You saw your chance to spew the same old bullshit you have been posting since you joined.

So Damn predictable.

Don't feel sorry for me,

Just asTed has done so many Times this past year, I made you out to be the fool you are.
Please keep the laughs coming.

Yes, I read the article.

No, you didn't read my reply.

BASED ON PROBOWLERS is in my reply but in order for you to be you you must do these types of things and then insult me based on erroneous things such as contesting that I never read the article or understood it was based on probowlers. I got it.

Further, I mocked the idea of using probowlers as the Packers rarely have many guys go the legit way. We usually get guys to the PB the illegitimate way when other guys simply don't want to show up. It is you who doesn't can't and won't ever get it. I don't blame you...you're still reeling from the release of your idol, AJ Hawk. That has to be tough.

Pro Bowl count is about as valuable as your membership fees paid to PackersHome. Exactly, it means NOTHING. (PS, you all still owe me your membership fees) 🙂

The point that you can't refute with anything is our defense and ST's. Why are they bad year after year? Ted Thompson has tried to build our D and has failed to do so. There is no Aaron Rodgers ...the D doesn't have a QB who is all world who can mask deficiencies. That is a fact. Ted Thompson is judged in a favorable light because we win regular season games pretty easily. That is NOT the measure of a true winner. Championships are...not divisional...not conference...WORLD. 13 time World Champion Green Bay Packers... ever heard that before? I don't EVER recall hearing x amount of times divisional champions, or x amount of times conference champions...it is about WORLD Championships. We have possibly the best ever to play the most critical position that helps you achieve WORLD Champion status and we've been to the ultimate game...ONCE? FAILURE, FAILURE, FAILURE. No other way about it. Our team is NOT GOOD ENOUGH. Aaron Rodgers is plenty good enough...the cast is just too non-supportive and that falls squarely on TT's shoulders even though those happy with divisional championships are still drunk off them.

Please, please, please tell me how many years and 1st round picks does Ted Thompson need to build a quality defense? Answer that, please. How many years is acceptable? He was given a contract extension when our D was HORRIBLE so horrible Mike McCarthy is saying WRITE IT IN BIG LETTERS our D will be improved. Pitiful. Just pitiful. He gets an extension for a SB win YEARS ago after being embarrassed every single year since. The trend is not going the correct direction but we extended him. You don't give someone a contract extension for one year they had four years ago, you give them an extension based on how they're trending NOW.... and now the trend has been well established. He's just gonna ride a superstar QB to playoff losses because he is inept and incapable of fixing this D despite his numerous efforts. My goodness.

You are what I said you were a year ago.

ONE TRICK PONY!

E end the most casual football fan knows pro bowl election has no relevance,
The author clearly stated he was just coming from a different perspective.

Stay with the agenda one trick, as the NFL goes, sooner or later everyone retires or gets fired.

Maybe you will be right in another 5 years.

Until then it Will be entertaining to see how many ways you can come up with to try and maker your mootless point..

Ted Thompson is one of the best.

If he wasn't he would have been ran out of Green Bay years ago.

Can't wait for Ted to make you look the fool during the draft.

Zero2Cool (9h) : Packers are gonna get 3rd place division schedule next year.

Mucky Tundra (10h) : Kanata, seek help! lol

beast (12h) : I was rooting for the Bears to win and hurt their draft pick status

Zero2Cool (12h) : Forgot there was even a game last night haha

TheKanataThrilla (12h) : That was terrible.

TheKanataThrilla (12h) : Watching that game in its entirety yesterday is proof positive that I am a football addict.

beast (13h) : And horrible time management multiple times... and not being able to score more than 3 points on a team with talent

beast (13h) : Realizing the Bears didn't fix it from the previous week and do the same thing, getting the game to overtime

beast (13h) : They probably are not tanking, but they've absolutely mismanagement some things, such as Vikings seeing the Packers blocked FG and realizing

Zero2Cool (14h) : Crazy of Bears to have that mindset that is

Zero2Cool (14h) : Hail Mary stop away from 5 - 2. Not sure how that flips to tanking. Crazy mindset if true

beast (14h) : I've quietly questioned if Bears are tanking on purpose... they suddenly got a lot worse with some simple concepts like 101 clock management

wpr (16h) : Watching bares fans melt down over how putrid their team is, so enjoyable. It's the gift that keeps on giving.

Mucky Tundra (27-Dec) : The Seattle Seahawks defeat the Chicago Bears 6-3. Jason Myers had 6 RBIs for Seattle while Cairo Santos had 3 RBI for Chicago

beast (27-Dec) : Not nessarily, he might of been injured either way. He's playing about 50% of the games the last 4 years

Zero2Cool (26-Dec) : If they'd been more patient with him, he'd be back already. Putting him out there vs Bears caused him to tweak it and here we are.

packerfanoutwest (26-Dec) : well this is his last season with the PAck, book it

beast (26-Dec) : Sounds like no Alexander (again), I'm wondering if his time with the Packers is done

Zero2Cool (26-Dec) : Could ban beast and I still don't think anyone catches him.

Mucky Tundra (26-Dec) : Houston getting dog walked by Baltimore

packerfanoutwest (25-Dec) : Feliz Navidad!

Zero2Cool (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas!

beast (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas 🎄🎁

beast (24-Dec) : Sounds like no serious injuries from the Saints game and Jacobs and Watson should play in the Vikings game

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : both games Watson missed, Packers won

Martha Careful (24-Dec) : I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Jacobs gonna be OK???

Zero2Cool (24-Dec) : Watson gonna be OK???

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I just checked. What tie breaker?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ahh, ok.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes due to tie breaker

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network

beast (23-Dec) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th
