And, just those two. Hasn't done anything of note since 2006 in FA, the FA we are talking about here. That's 8 years...

UDFAs and street FAs don't count in this discussion IMO. We are talking about adding experienced veteran talent. 2 players thus far, in 8 years.

Just heard JT the Brick say on Fox Sports radio that The Broncos are gonna win the Superbowl next year.

They've loaded up, so why the hell worry about 2014, even if The Packers make The Superbowl it's already over, they will lose.

I say start planning for 2015.

We won it in 1966 and 1967 as well.
What does that have to do with today?
I'm more interested in moving forward than living on past accolades.
Winning only one in the Rodgers years would be a crime against Packers fandom.

Obviously it has worked in the past, because The Packers won a Superbowl in 2010.

This argument is all such bullshit anyway, but hey it's the off-season and what else is there to do.

There's no fucking magic solution to winning, there's 32 teams and 32 ways to deal with Free Agency, sometimes a team hits on the right combination, they catch a few breaks and damn don't you know they win a Superbowl.

I've been saying all along I was hoping Ted would do thing different this year, but it became pretty obvious, pretty quick he wasn't changing his philosophy, which means everybody in the damn world can stand up and scream and bitch, but it's not going to make a difference.

Screaming about "what Ted should have done" is not moving forward.

I'm gonna move forward now, by saying what I always say, Ted Thompson has his job for a reason, until he is gone I'm gonna live with the decisions he makes and support the guys that run out onto the field opening day.

Teds way works when you consistently rock the draft.

The last few years he has not. Too many picks are having a hard a hard time getting - or staying - on the field.

What you FAIL to acknowledge is
Because Ted hadn't overspent in FA he had ample cap space to bring in guys like Walden and Zombo , Howard Green and others, guys who also contributed and who without we DON'T even smell that SB, let alone WIN IT.

We can keep going on like this until next year, but I'm tired of 🐴 .

Ted is going to do what he is going to do, I am willing to live with the decisions, your not, not my problem.
SCREAM ON THERE ARE THOSE WHO WILL LISTEN!!!!

That 2010 team was a really good team that got some exceptional play from the entirety of their roster. That roster just happened to include the 2 major FA signings in Pick and Wood. Currently, we have none, and why?

Our team has been in need of playmakers in pass rushing, stopping the run and at S for 3 years. Where are they, and why do we STILL not have them?

buckeye, I just want Ted to get back to using all the means of talent acquisition at his disposal, like he once did early on as GM. I feel he has gone a bit too far off the reservation with this draft and develop line of thinking. There's a little room to add some key players, and I believe most years this is the case. We have time to add a couple of guys who could help as FA signings.

Packers have signed three free agents. And as an added bonus the Packers staff knows them very well and knows how they will fit into their system.
