Not sure what all this has to do with Goodson striving to be a starter?

He will compete with those already on the roster and those Ted decides to bring in.

Hopefully he will make that year 1 to year 2 jump that coaches expect and gets a chance to contribute on the field.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

Why was it 4-12? Umm...he was trying to blow out Sherman and offered him no help that season greasing the skids to fire him. Sherman's teams had made the playoffs the 4 previous seasons and were over .500 the previous 5. Samkon Gado, Tony Fisher, Antonio Chatman sure did Sherman a ton of favors. When Antonio Chatman is your 2nd highest targeted WR far and away over the 3rd most targeted you're kinda going to be in trouble. Samkon Gado had almost double the carries of Ahman Green. A year of injuries to star players like Ahman and Javon. Pack started 0-4 losing 3 of those games by a combined 6 points. So, he wins an award for "rebuilding" a 4-12 team that he helped to a 4-12 record.

The following year was the year of the Favre trade. What stones it took to deal Favre and go with HIS draft choice. Aaron Rodgers. Hey, this award was solely for the Favre trade. The balls it took to deal the most popular Packer, ever, to go with his draft pick. It's my favorite Ted Thompson move and I don't discount this award at all even though the team wasn't very good the following year at 6-10. Just a move hailed by the league of his peers when it saw that Rodgers could play.

No award for the year we won the SB? He did get an award the following year for the 15-1 team that had one of the worst defenses in NFL history. TT's kryptonite ... the inability to build a D. Even with the worst D in NFL history he wins an award due to our gaudy 15-1 record. Yes, praise that man ... Aaron Rodgers tore up the league that season.

I'm not sure I'm that impressed by his 3 award winning seasons but I'm sure most of you are.

He wouldn't have his 30th overall...would've dealt it to New Orleans for Jimmy Graham. Smile




Wolf was too much of a genius to lose his mind. All the Graham trade would mean is that Wolf had a deal in place to become Saints' GM the next day.

Favre's career ends with zero rings if not for the huge FA splash Ron made with guys like White, Jones, Dotson, Rison, etc.

Oh, how I miss having a GM with the swagger and brashness of Ron Wolf. Org had a totally different feel back then that I prefer so much more to what we have now.

Nowadays they just say "typical Ted".

Popular ... lol ... that's freaking hilarious.
