What is your Ted Thompson Do-Over?· Page 3

Here's one thing. And I thought this at the time, but you may not believe me.

When Favre "retired," Ted should have traded his rights to a team outside of the division. Get a late round pick, or whatever. But deal with the situation proactively. Favre would have probably been released after a year and ended up with the Queens anyway, but this would have avoided the big circus that Favre caused in Green Bay.

Then again, maybe it was hard to see that fiasco coming.

The reason I stick with the Brad Jones deal is Thompson shoulda known better - the great majority of fans certainly did. As for Hawk, he was the choice at the time of maybe 60% of the fans; I was part of the 40% who preferred Vernon Davis.

It's not like Brad Jones is a top paid LB or anything he got a modest contract with low guaranteed money. I'm sure you could come up with something that would at least actually improve the team.

I would have let Brett Favre rot on the bench for two years behind Rodgers.

Waiting until now to draft a top Safety after Nick Collins went down. Going from pro-bowl calibre to average-at-best Safety play hurt our secondary. Granted there was not much out there to be had, but FA or moving up in the draft should have been explored.

Someone mentioned Randy Moss. This has been hashed over and over. Packers had no control over that. They went to bed thinking they had Moss. Patriots and Raiders agreed to terms and Raiders didn't give Packers chance to match or improve, so I can't hold that one against Thompson.

Tony Gonzelez comes to mind. Packers used their 2nd round pick on Mike Neal.

Brian Orakpo instead of B.J. Raji also comes to mind.

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Packers sign CB Corey Ballentine

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : I'm not sure how to kill the draft order just yet so it's not so confusing.

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : *to be able

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : and because it's not a dynasty league (which makes a lot more sense to be ability to trade picks)

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Oh I know; I was just exploring and it blew my mind that you could trade picks because of the whole reordering thing

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Zero, I think I preferred my offer: your 1st for my 15th rounder

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Keep in mind, we do a draft reorder once all members locked in

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : You can have my 12th Rd for your 2nd round

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : Family Night! WE ARE SO BACK!

Mucky Tundra (2-Aug) : To this day, I'm still miffed about his 4 TD game against Dallas on Thanksgiving going to waste

Martha Careful (2-Aug) : Congratulations Sterling Sharpe. He was terrific and I loved watching him play.

beast (2-Aug) : I believe it's technically against the CBA rules, but Jerry just calls it a simple unofficial chat... and somehow gets away with it.

beast (2-Aug) : Jerry Jones is infamous for ̶n̶e̶g̶o̶t̶i̶a̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ chatting with players one on one... and going around the agent.

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Oo just saw a blurb saying that Dallas negotiated directly with Parsons and not through his agent

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : I assumed that both guys will get paid, just a matter of when or how we get there
