And that two are stuck in the "good team has no more top 10 picks" loop that Thompson has been working on for 12 years? The third was fired for cap reasons?
Does it occur to any of you that this isn't that much that separates these guys?
Does it occur to you that assuming Ball won't sign FAs because Ted high fives him twice is kinda guesswork?
Does it occur to anyone that the key to success is a little luck and making the most of what you have on hand. Which means Ted's greatest failure wasn't a lack of a 2nd SB, it was not getting on same page with Dom or forcing M3 to fire him?
And that the new guy will have all the same challenges AND more?
And that the odds are that the Packers will now be worse off, because they have been so much better off than the rest of the League?
If it turns out that Murphy did all this to knock over the dominoes to Rodgers next contract, keep MM around, get new GM that M3 and AR like better, he will have single handedly made the worst decision since Forrest Gregg got a contract extension and more power?
