Even if the Packers turn things around, it does not change the fact that the front office needs to modernize its approach to acquiring talent.

They need to modernize their approach to getting their QB to hit the open guy.

Sick of all this Ted hate. This Dorleant kid can play. He may max out at the level of Roland Mitchell, but for a #10 guy? Probly the best in the league. Let's get some ToP and protect this D.

How's Randall coming along, any word?

I'm getting tired of all the bull about their might be a GM change because of one poor season. Mark Murphy said before the season even started that there would be a GM switch... he said Ted Thompson has set a schedule for when he's going to step down and that he (Murphy) has locked up a post Ted Thompson plan (which seems to be Eliot Wolf). The only thing that wasn't said was when Ted Thompson scheduled for this to happen... but Murphy's words made it sound like it was coming soon within the next few seasons.

The media (sadly once again) is trying to make the story instead of simple reporting it.

Also the bull on Thompson hasn't signed two outside free agents to be starters like recent Super Bowl champion have... the Packers have signed Peppers, Guion and Cook all as outside FA... and all have started a number of games for the Packers when they have been healthy.

I'd like to see a change of GM in GB for 2017. If it is Eliot Wolf, let's hope he takes after Father and not the outgoing GM . If not, then why would they bother to make the change at all .

As for the Coaches, they are like Cooks in that they can't serve a superior meal with inferior ingredients. One HOF GB does not a TEAM make. Perhaps look at a change at Defensive Coordinator and Special Teams .

Hopefully the next GM is able to maximum the top draft picks better than both Ron and Ted.
