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?

dfosterf (6h) : I do very much appreciate when Beast and others pick up my slack 😊

Zero2Cool (28-Aug) : Bahah, I was like WTF why isn't anyone posting on PP.com ... oops no one has permissions

dfosterf (27-Aug) : tell her I reckon

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Micah Robinson cut. Probable PS player tomorrow. Has to call mom back and t

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : New site so much better. Might make switch and deal with it.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Mecole Hardman to our practice squad

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3

wpr (27-Aug) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Unfortunately he doesn't seem ready to be an emergency QB.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him

dfosterf (27-Aug) : I bet a lot of us will follow the Taylor Elgersma journey with interest. Personally, got a Kurt Warner vibe goin' on. I like him

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Not sure if either will be claimed though.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Tune or Hooker would make sense

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Clayton Tune cut by the Cards? Don't know if that's the guy, we shall see

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Per Bill Huber, the Packers will not be bringing back Taylor Elgersma or Sean Clifford on the practice squad, so a new third quarterback

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Schefter must have deleted his tweet

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Hopefully Jerry reaches under the seat cushions and ashtrays of his jet and scrapes up the 45 million apr and spares us further nonsense

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is

beast (27-Aug) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah

dfosterf (27-Aug) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work

dfosterf (27-Aug) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n

packerfanoutwest (27-Aug) : The Packers, meanwhile, are the youngest team in the league for the third consecutive year.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : That it was darkest before the dawn in Bengals and Commanders before they got deals done

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : what is Schefter saying?

dfosterf (27-Aug) : He was getting Dorito infusion therapy

dfosterf (27-Aug) : He's outta shape. Why, just the other day I saw him splayed out on the trainers table

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Parsons has followed Rasheed Walker on Twitter. Quite the choice
