Ted's not playing a video game. He cant just hit a button and Barwin appears on his team. Barwin didn't want to come to GB for the $$$ Ted was offering. A solid majority of the players wont come to GB unless Ted pays well above market. Also, 99% of what Ted is doing is never reported. For some reason the Barwin info got leaked, the Brooks visit got leaked, often these leaks come from agents trying to manufacture a market. Oh and sometimes the agents LIE!

Ted did what he does every FA period, a few years back he got Woodson and Pickett; then Manuel and Chillar; then Guion and Pepeprs. And he did what he does every September, a few years back had a problem at RB and traded for Grant; a problem at QB and signed Tolzein and Wallace; problem at WR and signed Jones; problem at punter last year and signed a punter. Brooks aint coming to GB if he has multiple offers, his late cut and legal issues meant only 1 team was willing to pay 3.5M.

Remember Ted has to see that the guy can help and then that guy needs to want to come to GB for an offer that fits Ted's opinion of his value. There will only be one successful deal for every several dozen of inquires. But some years there are statistical aberrations and maybe there's an extra deal or two done. What happened this year constitutes ZERO evidence that something has changed, because Ted ad done all this stuff before multiple times.

Oh and BTW, Sandy Hook is real, don't fall for the whacked out conspiracy theories.

Ted may have abdicated a long time ago, we simply don't know. This off-season was not remotely like any other in his tenure. A man as simple and plodding as he is you can't help but wonder when you see an outlier like this from the org, if it is really him. It's not meant to disparage him in any way at all. Just honest questions. I really wonder if he has full control like he did years back or if he's ceded some over the years to where he hardly has much? We don't know...it just looks different both the way he is physically and the moves this team made. Smoke=Fire most of the time.

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."

...but...is...this...Ted? This is not Ted's character at all. He looks compromised so perhaps this is not Ted? Eliot, Brian? More of a GMBC situation? GM by committee?

Hopefully, we'll get to hear what was going on this year. I was hoping/thinking after the roster was all set we might hear Ted announce he was stepping down immediately, or at least at the end of the season. I can't see him here next year as GM.
