There is so much content in here worth reading that will be passed over without thought because you, like myself, are labeled a Ted Thompson hater.

A-Rod made mistakes and Brett made mistakes. A-rod does good things, Brett does good things. The key is the balance between the two. I will take Brett's good over bad, over A-rods good over bad if the end result is 13-3 with Brett and 6-10 with A-Rod.

Brett didn't net 13 wins every year.
Aaron isn't going to net 6 wins every year.

Zero, are you going to kick our respective asses to the curb now?

PS.
I agree 100% with your post D80. Good job.

I just hate when certain posters try to slander Brett by saying, "He's lost it", "TT was a genius for dumping him", "TT made the right choice because Rodgers is better"...etc..etc, as a rationalization to try and support Ted Thompson.

I don't think you have to diss Brett to defend Thompson, but that's just me.

Where I will give Ted credit is in giving BF a good receiving corps in '07 to get to 13-3. That seems to be the strongest area of the team.

Truth be known, I'm TT's baby!

That's true, Zero. I do not like him. I don't have any problem being a Ted Thompson hater. The problem is I have reasons and some sort of rational behind it, whether you agree with it or not.

It's not like I woke up one day and said "I hate Ted Thompson".

And that is a good point. However I was comparing Ted's decision to choose A-Rod over Brett last year and I used Brett's last year and A-Rods first.

I don't think it really matters though as I would highly doubt A-Rod will put up the kind of ending-season records Brett did. If he did that we would have to be like the winningest franchise over 40 years or something.

They think you "hate" him just because of the Brett Favre incident.

But that simply isn't true.

There are plenty of other reasons to hate him in my book!

haha.

Right on man, I don't like that either AND THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS.

It's not Thompson Vs. Brett. I do think that most people who do not like Thompson, and think going with A-Rod over BF was a bad personel move, however get unfairly labeled as "Brett Lover".

It's easier to defend their stance by insinuating that it's just because we love "The Legend" because it's hard to argue otherwise based on TT's success rate.

Why would you guys be kicked to the curb? Hating Ted Thompson? I don't even like the guy that much so how hypocritical would that be? NO one has ever been or will be removed from this website due to their likeness or hate towards a former or current member of the Green Bay Packers. Hell, some of you guys hate ME and still don't get banned.

That's assuming by kicked to the curb, you meant banned.

Hey, AROD may be a good QB someday.

Right now, we really don't know that, STILL!

(That's the whole point, isn't it? Gambling on the unknown?)

I thought Ted was supposed to be conservative?

Mucky Tundra (3h) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm

Martha Careful (4h) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.

beast (8h) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.

beast (8h) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.

Mucky Tundra (23h) : Bust it is then

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : @BookOfEli_NFL Packers pass game coordinator, Jason Vrable said that Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks shared a placed in Florida while train

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."

beast (8-May) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less

beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers actually had Ray Lewis on the phone.

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers wanted to draft Ray Lewis. Ravens stole him.

Martha Careful (6-May) : Happy 93rd Birthday to the Greatest Baseball Player of All-Time...Willie Mays

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Walter Stanely's son

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : and released CB Anthony Johnson and DL Deandre Johnson and waived/injured WR Thyrick Pitts (thigh-rick).

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.

Mucky Tundra (4-May) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on how he tore his pec: “Got in a fight with the bench press. I lost.”

Zero2Cool (3-May) : Jordan Love CAN sign an extension as of today. Might tak weeks/months though

TheKanataThrilla (3-May) : Packers decline 5th year option for Stokes

Mucky Tundra (3-May) : @ProFootballTalk Jaylen Warren: Steelers' special teams coach has discussed Justin Fields returning kicks.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Season officially ending tonight for Bucks ... sad face

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as out for tonight's game.

dfosterf (2-May) : Surprisingly low initially is my guess cap wise, but gonna pay the piper after that

dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)

Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!

earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage

beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position

dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.

dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.

Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.

dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left

dhazer (29-Apr) : out of curiosity do they try and sign Simmons or Hyde to let these young safeties learn from, they can't be day 1 starters.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : I miss having Sam Shields.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Not that he's making excuses, just pointing it out

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : That's for dang sure. Make our erratic kicker have no excuse!

packerfanoutwest (28-Apr) : having a great long snapper is gold

Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : LaFleur looking like he had some weight. Coachin will do that lol
