This thread here I want to be a on going running thread about Ted's good moves and bad moves to date.

Greg Jennings instead of Chad Jackson.
Signing Charles Woodson.
Signing Ryan Pickett.
Signing Aaron Kampman.
Extending Donald Driver.
Not signing Chris Canty.
Not signing LaVar Arrington.


That's the kind of thing I'm looking for. Not so much of a discussion, but a solid list. Short, sweet and to the point.

That is your mission, can you dig it?

Pros

Allowing Marco Rivera to walk in FA
Allowing Green to walk in FA
Cutting KGB's contract
Drafting Aaron Rodgers
Allowing Mike Flannigan to walk in FA
Getting value back for Javon Walker
Making a decision on Brett Favre and sticking with it.

Cons
Not reworking or finding a way to keep Wahle's contract in the stable.
Thinking NFL quality guards are a dime a dozen
His strategy to replace Clifton/Tauscher
Missed on Manuel, Klemm, Roman, and Justin Harrell.
Not shoring up the defensive line depth with Carter or Holiday (Playing very well for the Broncs)

Just for starters.

---

Pro- Hiring McCarthy
Con- Derrick Frost

---

There are a bunch of bad moves in hindsight, but not ones that you can blame him for. Here are the ones that I think he just completely missed on:

Cutting Jon Ryan for Derrick Frost
Cutting Anthony Smith

---

Pros
Giving us: Rodgers, Jennings
Not wasting money in Free Agency
Signing Charles Woodson



Cons
Not trading a 4th rounder for Randy Moss cause he "lost his speed"
Not alot of depth behind the starters

---

Pro
releasing Carroll!!!!!
letting Bubba Franks walk. (One of my favorite players.)
Acquiring Grant. (If he only had a line....)
picking Jordy Nelson when he didn't need to go for another WR
Flynn round 7
Love Jennings pick enough to have him on my list too.

Con
Brohm
B Jackson (Terrible year for RB)
Rouse
lack of signing enough quality FA to go with the youth he has drafted.

---

PRO - not resigning Ahman Green when it was the popular choice.

---

Pro not signing Lavar Arrington (injury prone)


Pro making us the youngest team just about every year (gives us an excuse to bitch lol)


Cons None because he is Ted Thompson and he is AWESOME 😛

:pottytrain2:

J/K

---

Pros

-His ability to find quality WRs(Jennings, Terrence Murphy, Jordy, Jones, Ruvell).

-His management of the cap.

-Drafting Rodgers.

-Not overspending in FA.

-Hiring Mccarthy and the new Defensive Staff.

-Getting rid of Favre and not wavering in his decision whatsoever, sticking up for and doing what was best for the franchise.

Cons

-Letting Wahle walk without adequetly replacing him.

-Refusing to give OAK anything more than a 5th for Moss.

-Taking a chance on Harrell with his extremely long injury history.

-Failure to compliment this young talent with veteran depth, to a degree.(Like others mentioned, Holliday/Carter at DE, nobody but Colledge to backup Clifton.


Overall, I am a huge supporter of Ted Thompson and believe he has and will continue to do a terrific job. This team is ready to compete with the big boys and now it is time to show it.

---

Pro:
Trading Favre.
Signing Chillar.
Getting a 2nd rounder for Williams.

Con:
Picking Brohm with it.

Cant believe any one did say

PRO- Letting Hunt go

Pros
Signing Charles Woodson
Signing Ryan Pickett
Signing Brandon Chiller
Trading Javon Walker
Not bringing back Marco Rivera
Not bringing back Mike Flanigan
Not bringing back Ahman Green
Not bringing back Grady Jackson
Not bringing back Cledius Hunt
Not paying Mike Walhe the amount he was asking (one good year after he left GB doesn't merit what he wanted)
Drafting Aaron Rodgers (Team needed defense and he went BPA. Risky, but it worked)
Drafting Greg Jennings
His drafting has been some of the best in the league since he's taken over IMO.
Fixing the team's cap
Firing Mike Sherman

Cons
Signing Marquand Manuel
Not resigning or finding away to keep Darren Sharper
Not finding a serviceable SS to replace Leroy Butler. This goes hand in hand with the top two.
Relying on KGB for a pass rush opposite of Kampman.
Drafting Justin Harrell
Drafting Brian Brohm
Paying Bubba Franks
The Brett Favre situation
No veteran backup for Rodgers
Not setting GB up for a longterm solution at both tackles
Not fixing the interior line for so many years
Not going into free agency more or finding veteran depth
Not signing a veteran DE for the 3-4 like Vonnie Holiday for this year
Not getting a deal done for Randy Moss when the oppurtunity was clearly there.


Up in the Air
The hiring of McCarthy
Paying Ryan Grant

Getting Tramon Williams

Pro:
Blonde hair
Ice blue penetrating gaze
Orational skills
Manly odour

I might have missed the point 🙂

---

Always have a good QB

Con:
Jarrett Bush!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Forgetting we need an O-Line
