On topic...
I would also like to reflect on the confirmation by Trippster of what I always [strike]suspected strongly[/strike] knew was the the way Ted conducts business/management style.
He listens to his subordinates and bases decisions on their input, as any good manager would.
It is documented, for example, that Ron Wolf operated in much the same way.
For example, when he was contemplating the acquisition of Brett Favre, Ron sought input from one of his subordinates, specifically, Ted Thompson.
Ted watched the tape Ron gave him and concurred with Ron's assessment.
We as fans forget this, but I bet Ted doesn't. As far as who is on this organization right now...
Ted is by far and away the most responsible for Brett Favre EVER having been a Green Bay Packer, and that is very much under-appreciated...imo
One thing I always concern myself with is the possibility that one of his scouts has too much influence upon Ted...in other words, he listens too much to them, not enough. I worry when we draft anyone from Tennessee, for example. :icon_smile: but that's another story.
