Free agents often not worth the money, Ron Wolf says· Page 2

You have got to be kidding me? Ron Wolf says something vanilla in support of the Packers and that means he's fully onboard with the way Ted Thompson is running them? Did you expect him to be critical even if he hated what Ted Thompson was doing and thought he was squandering Rodgers career? You just don't get it. I worked in media and got quotes from guys like Ron for years...got some from him in the bowels of Lambeau with Favre and Holmgren many moons ago.

What you've done is EXACTLY what I've said you enjoy here. You love your ears being tickled. Ron Wolf's quotes are repeated by many on a daily basis in similar situations. It's like Jon Gruden talking about QB's...he rarely says a bad word...he just loves them all. Do you honestly think Gruden loves all the QB's he says he does on MNF, or do you think he's grandstanding? Go work in media for any length of time and perhaps you'd understand.

I pulled more than just one thing from the article...the ambiguous statement was very curious. He also didn't sign off on TT's free agency approach even though some of you think that he did. Read with OBJECTIVITY and you will see he clearly didn't but that is too much to ask of you. You want that feather on the earlobe gently stroking back and forth.

Give it up.

You've been exposed again.

Not that it was hard.

Senseless dribble!

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."

Yes...I won't be posting in-season. I'm active during the draft time and TC/pre-season.

I'll NEVER stop answering back to people who want their ears tickled.

Would you pay good money to guys like EDS, Erik Walden, Darryn Colledge, Tramon Williams, AJ Hawk, Davon House? Nope...clowns like that aren't worth it but stupid teams pay big money for garbage. The FA I speak of is of the gamechanging variety .

As Ketchman often says, if you're paying for a FA from another team, you already overspent because you just paid more for that guy than the team with the best intel on him is willing to pay.

If anything I actually think you're better off with the 2nd tier EDS/Guion/Sean Richardson types. Identify specific needs at affordable contracts. The Saints tried to solve their safety problem by throwing money at Byrd and he was done for the year so 2014 they're still down a safety AND 8 mile in cap space.

Ruminate on it. Seriously. Vic Ketchman is one of the worst "journalists" I've ever read. If you find yourself getting your opinion on the Pack from Packers.com it's definitely time to find a new source of Packers news.

I'm sure Vic doesn't put the Blood Sweat and Tears into his column as you do into your online posting.

Please expand your thoughts on Vic.

I think he is entertaining and at times, informational.

Look....

There's a painted pony!
