How would you measure the effectiveness of an NFL general manager such as the Green Bay Packers' Ted Thompson? Well, the best way is by the number of Super Bowls he has won … that's one way. But as a team's highest manager of personnel, the general manager could also be judged by the number

I don't think there's any question he's done great things in Green Bay, especially considering how bare the cupboards were when he took over. But the kool aid drinking really need to stop thinking the man is infallible. They seem to do this with successful players as well.

Well perhaps the Phil fans would be the exception. I would rather deal with fans who are overboard with their koolaid love that ones who curse their team.

Let's talk about the number of rings. Should we count 2009, when we were absolutely hosed? What about 2014, when we basically shit our pants when it was there for the taking?

I guess that falls under Ted's ultimate responsibility, but as far as I'm concerned, neither of those is on the GM.

Do people really feel Thompson is the reason the Packers lost in Seattle? It seemed like there was blame to go around at the player/coaching level but I think the talent was clearly there to win it all. No one thought the Packers would even give Seattle much of a game with one-legged Rodgers, I like everyone else was disappointed they choked but the season overall was a success.

The words "one of the best" equal infallible? Talk about "drinking" something ...

If you want to judge Ted's ranking amongst present day G.M.'s ask yourself this question?

If Ted was available to hire right now as a G.M. ... How many teams would make him an offer?
