If the Packers don't make the playoffs next year, he's gone in my opinion and I'm not sure developing from within is going to be fast enough to save his job.

Here's where I think you hit the nail on the head.

It's not fair, necessarily, but given the past offseason and the team's overall relapse this year, I don't think he's got time to get things done the way he wants to. If they don't succeed (make the playoffs at the very least) next year, I think you can almost guarantee that Thompson and McCarthy will be fired.

That's why I'm leaning towards the opinion that he'll step out of character and make a real effort to stir things up in FA this year - if the general consensus that we're really only a few pieces away from being a contender is correct, I think he's going to have to find pieces that pay off right away or he won't be around to see what happens after this next season.

I don't think Thompson is easily panicked, however. I don't think he will make any sweeping changes that put the future salary cap position of the Packers in jeopardy.

Haynesworth just limped off the field with what looks like a knee injury. I bet this reduces the chances Thompson will chase him in the offseason, and I can't say I'm sorry about that. I don't trust Haynesworth, neither his physical health nor his character.

Haynesworth returned on the next play. Kearse got driven away by a hearse though.

Ted Thompson will go after Haynesworth even harder now. He likes the injury proned players look at Bustin lol.
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

I'm convinced now that Ted will sit back the first couple of weeks, then go out and sign a player or two in free agency to add some quality depth. He'll put an emphasis on getting young talent to help out, through the draft of course.

And after all that is said and done, I think it'll be a team that'll have a shot at 10 wins, maybe more if they can get on a roll and build some confidence.

Ted has built a nice collection of talent, the team is talented; to blame Ted for a 6-10 isn't totally fair. Yes the roster had mistakes, but I think last year proved Ted's vision of how to build a winner is a darn good one.

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : New site so much better. Might make switch and deal with it.
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Mecole Hardman to our practice squad
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3
wpr (27-Aug) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is
beast (27-Aug) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah
dfosterf (27-Aug) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work
dfosterf (27-Aug) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n
packerfanoutwest (27-Aug) : The Packers, meanwhile, are the youngest team in the league for the third consecutive year.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : He was getting Dorito infusion therapy
