When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro ~Hunter S.
It is Woody. But if M3 and T2 went 9 years with 8 playoff appearances and 2 SB losses, all but four people on this board would be ready to scuttle the ship. Someone would paste a Packer logo on that burning Vikings ship pic of Joe's.
There are already several posters who think M3 should be gone for the 1-3 playoff record in the last 3 years.
But more importantly, that post was to stick a pin in Tank's Sherman parade balloon. Sherman was a pop star, a one hit wonder who was trying the same formula over and over to score another hit. Like Nena, Wang Chung, Wall of Voodoo or Wham! He wasn't geared for long term team building. In fact, Sherman wasn't even as long term as Tank's favorite band Coldplay.
Thompson's plan is the only way you can sustain success without drafting high. A lot of swings at the ball. BB is going to have to find a QB soon, Thompson already replaced one legend with another.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
Repped for being a teenager in the 80's.
But I can't believe you think Wham! Was a one-hit wonder.
Dear Lord. I now have "Last Christmas" going through my head.
So, let me see if I understand correctly. In your opinion, evidence that Sherman was a better GM than TT includes the facts that:
- Sherman was able to sign Joe Johnson, "the best DE available in free agency" who gave the Packers nothing; while
- TT signed Woodson who others thought was washed up but went on to win DPOY and lead the Packers to a Super Bowl win.
Is that right?

So there's this sign outside of a Legion that says:
When entering please remove your hat and don't chew gum.
So this little fella get inside and he's wearing a baseball cap on backwards and chewing gum and blowing huge popping bubbles.
Do you smack him up the side of the head?

pbmax I'm fairly intense when it comes to my teams doing the best they might. I'm like that because I expect a lot from myself. I observe things carefully and feel I usually arrive at a fair/decent place when it comes to judgement.
There have been things that MM and TT have done that pissed me off. I had to get used to Aaron Rodgers as the Packer QB. I recognize Aaron Rodgers as a very special person and talent. Today I'm in a good place with all three of these important Packer people. I'm positive that what I think/want as a fan matters little in terms of how the Green Bay Packer ship is maintained, equipped and sailed.
Sometimes as a fan I get emotional. I feel disappointment 'only' when I hope for something unrealistic. I do feel disappointment. I get stuff off my chest for a day or two (maybe three) and then get my kilt twisted to where it should be. I don't think it helps to comment either way on Mike Sherman's time as an important hire for the organization. I believe in some ways he did extremely well. He failed in others as us humans are sometimes prone to do.
Ted Thompson had a plan and I hope he challenged himself to improve that plan. RE: Drafting and the numbers game. I like ice cream more than skim milk. I believe that Mike McCarthy has overall been a dedicated HC. I'm impressed that he allows his gifted QB to call a large balance of the plays.
I'm in a happy place as a Green Bay Packer fan.
GO PACKERS ! GO PACK GO !

Sherman made poor choices to not make sure he kept his studly OL together was horrible cap management. That was the heart of the team.
The 4 guys you listed were his entire draft success in 4 years. It was 3 guys really as J-Walk was a cancer. Really can almost be labeled a bust.
Sherman's so good he was fired what, 3 times since 2004? Washed out in college. Yep, just like Belichick since then. But feel free to keep making up your theories of what would have happened with Sherman. History has proven him to be exactly as pb described, a one-hit wonder who had his short time in the sun but was exposed.
But whatever. Stupid discussion to have given you'll just keep trolling this misguided thought process anyway.
All hail the Ruler of the Meadow!

Giants have parted ways with defensive coordinator Perry Fewell, per league source.
Pretty sure he is still a good one.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
I'm trying to re-focus this thread.

There's a lot of chatter that when the dust clears that it will be Fangio that they'll go with.

I will buy a 49ers jersey if it helps get the Shanahans both to San Fransisco. Even the Bears don't deserve that.
