Ron was in back to backers in his 9 years. RW wins. It was much harder to turn a losing franchise into a winner like Wolf did. He changed the culture of this franchise from Cleveland to Pittsburgh.

I'd love to see him out of retirement at age 76. If he was into it, I'd take him over Ted Thompson in a heartbeat...he would recognize we have the best QB to ever play the game and actually build a defense to win multiples. Ted Thompson will keep shopping at the dollar store and counting on the 2nd year jump that every single franchise has going for it.

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."

He said he should have done more to take advantage of having Brett Favre.
Hopefully Ted Thompson doesn't have the same regrets when he retires.

Yup...because he was a perfectionist...NEVER good enough. NEVER. With TT, it's ALWAYS good enough, he has Aaron.

No. Ted Thompson has already surpassed 9 seasons and didn't make it to back to back bowls. RW wins.

So it's not about winning, it's about getting there. Well Bills fans will be happy to hear the good news.

Speaking of Jimmy Graham, one thing I never got about that guy is why he's so mediocre at getting YAC. The guy is an absolute elite freak athlete with a top level QB who is one of the most accurate in the history of the game yet he's essentially a catch and fall type of receiver.

Wolf was in back to back SB's and should've had a 3rd straight if not for the terrible non Rice fumble call that cost us that win in SF. TT's team hasn't been back to back or even close to it.

They had one thing in common: a coach's son commits suicide late in the season [though Philbin's boy was later judged accidental]. Practice the week before Giants game was a mess and many players attended the funeral on Fri B4 Sunday's game. A sociopath may not be capable of producing empathy to understand how this can mess up a football player from focusing; but most of us either know or can understand what occurred on that team when the son of a close friend/business associate dies. But for this tragedy, GB would have squashed Giants and 49ers in Lambeau.

Then we were one Bosticide away from going to another; that'd be 3 in 5 years!

Of course we were decimated by injuries in 2012-13. In 2013 we took SF to the brink w/ Palmer and Datone Jones paying OLB 'cause there was no more and a slew of other injuries.
Ted Thompson has built 5 consecutive rosters that were capable of winning the SB. There's only one other team that sits in this stellar class: NE.

If God was the Packer GM he would have to change his name to Wolf or certain people would still harshly bad mouth him.
