TT has to go. He almost cost us the Seattle game

[Tyrone Bigguns]

Bigguns, did you ever deal vicodan? I'm thinking Favre is trying to get rid of T.T. and Tyrone is the medium he's using.Yup ole number 4 wants Ted out of Green Bay. Now he's gotta go.

Does this meam woodchuck has been right all along?

Why yes I did!!!

Many a time Tyrone, Brett and Chewy would sit in the hot tub with several nubile 16 year olds discussing our hatred for TT.

Brett started taking Vikes as a way to drive TT off the Pack back in the 90s.

I told Brett he was endangering his health, but he wouldn't listen. So great is his love of the green and gold that he was willing to risk addiction to help the Pack.

Brett is the ultimate team player.

Someone should delete this dumbass thread... The anti-T.T. talk is sickening...

If the packers win the superbowl, all you t.t. haters better never show your face again... Oh wait never mind, if they win it would be in spite of T.T. trying to bring this team to the ground...

Slowly the cobwebs are clearing. You are finally seeing the truth.

TT must be stopped.

You mean like those people who don't understand the stories in the Onion aren't real?

What is this sarcasm you speak of?

[twoseven]

Excuse me. Can you argue with the logic.

Did TT bring in Grant. Did Grant fumble. Therefore, TT is resonsible for the fumbling problem.

Actually, it's the guy in SEA that brought in the SEA players that forced the fumbles. So, the SEA GM is at fault for Grant's fumbles, fire him.

And, who was the man in seattle that brought in most of those players. TT!!!

Clearly, we are faced with an evil genius. One that is so supremely intelligent that he plotted our ruination years before.

My god, is there no stopping him.

Well actually, as above post states, TT had nothing to do with the players that forced Grant's fumbles, but anywho..the same GM has effectively assembled two of the strongest teams in the NFC. Hmm.

(.. in the end TT defeats himself handily 42-20.)

Your problem is you think to small. Who assembled most of the roster. TT. Those two players were brought in to round out the squad. So, because TT did such a great job there were only a few holes to plug.

Therefore, because TT did such a great job, the new gm brought in these russell and hill.

Stop absolving him.

How long before TT's mom and dad enter this battle of undeniable logic ad truthiness?

Thanks for a fun Ted Thread.

Ted has done a fine job building a contender from ground up. He was given the biggest piece and some really nice veteran pieces but he built it up to be stronger than it was before he arrived and it should stay that way for a while.



Quite frankly, I think finding a stud QB like Brady, Favre or Manning is hard to do. There are three or four of them playing at any given moment and they seem to dominate the championship rings during their respective era's. Is finding one necessarily some great skill? I don't know that it is. Manning was a #1 pcik but Montana and Brady were later round guys. It's just sort of luck in some ways. Will TT get lucky and find another one? Probably not. He'll probably flounder around. I think he's shown he's good but there is an element of luck with the whole thing that you can't overlook. He's lucky to have Favre right now. Most of the rest he should get credit for.

They wouldn't bother as they both realize that TT is responsible for fumbling. Unlike you, they are blinded by their own bias. Yes, they do love their demon spawn, but aren't oblivious to his failings.

Thanks for a fun Ted Thread.

Which is more fun? My BS...or the posters who don't get it.

How many starters on our team did TT pick or otherwise bring on the roster? check the depth chart.

Just counting starters real quick, I get:
Mason Crosby, Jon Ryan, Atari Bigby/Nick Collins/Aaron Rouse (all three safeties), Charles Woodson, Ryan Grant, John Kuhn/Korey Hall (either FB), Tramon Williams/Will Blackmon (starting PR, Nickelback), A.J. Hawk, Brady Poppinga, Jason Spitz, Daryn Colledge (also Coston and Moll, who have started), Ryan Pickett, Koren Robinson (starting KR), Donald Lee (I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure), and Johnny Jolly should count even though he's on IR (and maybe Deshawn Wynn, since he started a few games).

That may not be the core of the team, but that's a sizeable number of contributors, particularly on defense (which is vastly improved from three years ago.) It's a promising group, as well. That's just people who have been considered starters and not really the bulk of the young players who may well make sizeable steps up.

Also, if you want to count Thompson's time as Director of Pro Personnel for the Packers from 1992 to 1999, he might have had something to do with Favre and Driver (1992 and 1999 respectively).

I think we can agree that all in all, the players that Thompson has brought in have by and large been decent choices (Manuel and the guard situation before last year being notable exceptions.) I think the knock on his roster has always been about the players he hasn't brought in. But at least he brought in enough players that this team has gotten to the NFC championship this year, and that's something to his credit.

I am so glad you typed up the list because my typing SUCKS.

This thread has been crackin me up so much I burned my fingers on the hot bowl.....

[RashanGary]

I agree with fritzdon'tblitz. That was a nice post, Lurker.

[Partial]

LMAO (oops...there's probably a crack joke you could make there)

I'm not a philosophy professor, but if I had actually take this seriously I'd say the conclusion of the logic "TT is responsible for the fumbling" is erroneous because fumbling is something that only the ball carrier can do, a GM does not carry the ball hence cannot fumble. TT is the GM, and he did trade for Grant however.

Right on!

and TT didn't pass for over 4000 yards and 28 TD's.

Before TT and Kampman, KGB, Corey Williams,Cullen Jenkins, Nick Barnett, Al Harris, Brett Favre, Donald Driver, Bubba Franks and Rob Davis we're all these solid starters and another GM.

Then 3 of 5 on the OL in Tauscher,Wells and Clifton we're in Green Bay prior to Ted Thompson.

How many starters on our team did TT pick or otherwise bring on the roster? check the depth chart.

Would we really be at 13-3 without Favre at the helm and all his great attitude,experience and leadership and Oh yea 4000+ yards passing helped as well?

TT does not deserve the LIONs share of the credit for 13-3.

Judging by the lack of NFC championship appearances since 1998 I would say that he does. Those players are good and nice, but they weren't good enough to get to the championship game until they had Ted's troops fortifying the group of aging Sherman's Soldiers.
