If old school is why the Packers are exciting to watch again, so be it. I don't agree with some of the things Ted has done, but I can't dispute the results. His moves/lack of moves have made OUR favorite team a helluva lot fun to watch again.

One thing I thought would be mentioned.. the way Rodgers has been brought along as an understudy for a couple of years is absolutely old school.. today we get so wound up to play these kids right away.. they struggle and they lose confidence in themselves.. never to return to what the once were in college or potentially in the pros.

Me personally.. think it is the best thing for a young QB.. hold the clipboard, learn the game from the sidelines and in camps.. then adjust to the speed of the game and then begin to start your career with most of the knowledge in your head.. now it is just getting the experience and letting the game come to you.. not as simple as it sounds, but I think the success rate would be much higher if young QB's were brought along this way.

For Aaron.. we will see shortly. He was brought into the game old school though.

Agreed pack93z, I'm truly excited for the opener. It was the best possible way for him to be brought along and now all he has to do is get the experience under his belt.

Hasselback was brought along that way and he made it to the SB. Let's hope it works for Aaron

So, not being anti-TT here, but more like giving the credit where it's really due - MM.

Um, and who was it who made the highly unpopular decision to hire Mike McCarthy?

Maybe we should give the credit to Jesus for creating Adam and Eve, who had children.. Or maybe to TT's parents for having him allowing him to hire MM.

For those of you who dont believe in Jesus. We could give credit to the big bang theory for banging and creating life andTed Thompsonand MM. Seriously, where does it end :)

So if Thompson had hired a crappy coach would you not hold him accountable? The hiring of a head coach is far and away the single most important decision that any GM makes.

Wait, I thought Ted said we never had any interest in Moss when the whole thing came out? Wasn't that one of the things Favre cited for why he didn't trust TT, because he had been lobbying Moss?

How does being one of two teams to put an offer on the table (and the first, I should add) show no interest?

Old school mentality prevented us from getting randy moss and winning a superbowl last year, got rid of the best player the franchise has ever seen and is going with a virtual rookie into a season where we should be making another superbowl push. Not For Long and good luck getting another job once you're canned.

Did you know that the Packers thought they had landed Randy Moss then the Patriots came in the middle of the night, literally, offering a higher pick and the Packers weren't given an opportunity to match?

I bet you know that already, but since it doesn't slam Ted you don't want to mention it because its been said several times. ;)

Did YOU know that the Packers could have wrapped the deal up months before the Patriots were even in the picture?

I bet you remember that but since it slams Ted, you don't want to mention it because its been said countless times.

I know it couldn't have been wrapped up months prior to the draft. Thanks for the effort though :)

Are you kidding me? Or are you just intentionally trying to leave out facts? The Randy Moss hoopla began in January/February. The draft was in April. Please, you dont have to lie just to win in a discussion.

First I read the article. If he doesn't pay Jennings and Kampman then he is a tightwad.

As far as Moss whom seems to be in this topic.

This talk about Randy Moss would of won us a Super Bowl is ridiculous. Reflect back on that game against the Giants. The tempo of the game was set by the Giants and the game wasn't going to be an air it out fest.

Here is why the Giants would of beaten us regardless of whether or not we had Moss and I was one of the biggest supporters of going out and getting Moss not only last off season but this off season too.

1. The Giants ran the ball. They weren't amazing at it but they were committed enough to it that the Packers defense had to stay true to stopping the run.

2. The Packers defense didn't get a good enough pass rush on Eli Manning. Does Randy Moss play DE now? That would be news to me.

3. Can Randy Moss cover Plaxico Burress?

Also you bring in Randy Moss and what happens to Greg Jennings and James Jones? Do they have the years they have? I don't think so. Jennings turned into a confident player last year. He wouldn't of had that confidence with Moss and Driver getting the throws all day.

The fact was Green Bay was 13-3 last year without Randy Moss. The last problem on the team was receivers. The receivers were outstanding.

No one player equals a Super Bowl. So this talk of Moss = a Super Bowl victory is really something.
