Thompson should ultimately be judged on the Packers record this season, not how much money he spends on free agents.



That's what I've been saying all along. 2009 = Year #5. Rebuilding should officially be over. And yes, we have been rebuilding since '05. That's one of those words everyone's afraid to use so they avoid it.

Last year should have been better. We shouldn't have been under .500 at all with our talent. Even with Rodgers coming in as QB. Injuries, late FG misses and sour puss play calling wit ha powder puff defense ... argh pisses me off we lost to the damn TITANS! We HAD that game won!!

Agreed. Last year I blame more on the Coaching than TT. I've written numerous posts about how we're too damn conservative. We'll have teams against the ropes, then fail to knock them out and let them come back and win the game when we should have killed them.

Whereas MM was aggressive in '07, he got all conservative in '08. It didn't make sense. I was loving him in '07 and screaming at the TV all '08.

Now if you want specifics, you have someone who is near PERFECT in the Red Zone in Aaron Rodgers. Then why do we keep running the ball when it's not working in the Red Zone? That was driving me nuts. Too many times we lost by 4 points or less and a TD instead of a FG would have made the difference in that game.

Here is where I stand on Thompson.

I agree with using the draft to build a team. But he has to use FA to finish it, and that he hasn't shown much willingness to do. But as has been said, I will judge him by the product on the field.

If the team tanks like it did this last year, my patience will run out. From what I have seen in the NFL, a team is considered to have a good draft if they get 2 starters a year. With 22 players on just the offensive and defensive units. that is 11 years of getting those 2 starters.

How many players actually make 11 years with a team? So after about 4 years, at least 1 of those 2 starters is now replacing a previous starter. At that point the draft is more about keeping the status qou, than improving. That is where the draft ends and free agents kick in.

So IMO the team is to the point where free agency is what is needed. Not saying spending 100 million, but spending.

I am seriously hoping that his play calling was due to Rodgers being in his first year, and that he will bust that playbook back open. God I hope.

If that was so, I'd still be mad at MM. By midseason, it was already apparent that AR is the best QB by far in the NFC North and didn't need handholding.
