The track record here is not encouraging though. It should have been solved a few years ago by the same two guys still working (Murphy and McCarthy).

I know, it's worrisome. But hopefully Murphy, the next GM and Stubby will be skipping hand in hand in hand with the new DC.

Your so correct.
That Mike McCarthy is demonstrating so much moxy is way beyond anything and rational common sense and reality.
How Mike McCarthy is pulling this off, is like nothing else I've ever seen in my 60 Years as a Pro Sports Fan.
I keep hoping that someone, with the good sense to know differently; will suddenly do what is necessary to get rid of this incorrigible back stabbing scapegoating imposter.
That sensable minds will pull the carpet out from under Mike McCarthy's feet and dump him on his fat ass.
This thread title is shocking. Since when did head coaches want more talent??
In my NFL days, we knuckled down and made do with what we had, like Colonel Nicholson in "The Bridge Over the River Kwai".

Silverstein: GM hire puts Mike McCarthy in must-win situation

I sure as hell hope he does. WTH. TT made a pick for the ages when Arod dropped into his lap...that just doesn't happen very often. But he ha made some real blunders along the path to 2018. Gunk better load this train up and make a run for it before Rodgers is gonzo.
This thread - the title and article anyway - is a breath of fresh air. The one who ain't in Rand's Wizard of Oz pic is the "wicked witch". Ding Dong Ted is gone!
Everybody here, some of us a lot more than others, really really want more talent from the next GM and think that indeed everything possible was NOT being done to Make the Packers Great Again during the Ted Thompson era.
TTs heaven reliance on draft and develop also adds to this. We had to keep guys on the roster who shouldnt have been there because we had no other options.
8-10 picks for year, you have to keep 52+ps, means the average lifespan of a TT pick was 5-6 years
If Tt had used free agency more, a lot of those guys would have been out of the nfl sooner imo
I watched "Death Before Dishonor" (this is peak 80's)

If you take my little example of a 5 to 6 year period. Say you sign a couple more free agent backups every year. That means 10-12 less draft picks on your team
If these free agents are better then those draft picks
And if that’s is the case, then you would have less TT draft picks on the team. IMO all tts draft picks are not staying in the league (on our team) based on talent, but more because of how our team is built
this just in: drunk wants more booze from bartender.
also: death before dishonor LOL Joanna Pacula was way out of Fred Dryer's league.
