I think Ted Thompson's rise was somewhat predictable. We all do have differing opinions, and who am I to say what smart or dumb is. What I do know is that some people are consistantly wrong and some people are much more consistantly right. Does that mean one is smarter than the next? Depends on how you want to measure intelligence. When it comes to piecing together information, spotting patterns and putting ideas together to what might happen, I think it takes some of that commonly measured intelligence. Nobody better or worse, only different. When it comes to piecing information and patterns together to mean something, you fall incredibly short, Merlin. All people should be treated decently, I think that is just being a decent person, but I don't think it's reality to say everyone is equal and nobody is capable of piecing together information to mean something better than the next guy. Nobody is perfect at it, but some are certainly better than others. Some of the things you said in this post remind me that you are near the bottom of my internal list of who I think knows what they are talking about. I'm sure you are good at other things though. Even if you're not, maybe you treat your family well or get along good in the workplace. There are many things besides being right that we can take pride in. For you, Merlin, with the way you piece information together, I'd suggest you just get some pom pom's and some popcorn and start focusing on being a cheer leader. I don't think you're ever going be very good at understanding what goes on around you. I really don't mean that as an insult. There are people who are very incapable in some areas. Should we pretend they are just as good? Hell no, reality is we all have strengths and weaknesses.

Why does everyone think Rodgers is shaky at best? Maybe injury-prone, sure, but not shaky at all.
If you think he's shaky go back and watch that Dallas game, and remember it's in Big D. He played a hell of a lot better than Favre that game, and almost brought us back.
Rodgers will be a good QB when it's his time, it just might not be with us if the old man keeps playing like he's Rodgers age.
disclaimer: just because he played better than Favre does not mean he is comparable to the legend in the least bit."I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious." - Vince LombardiComment

Merlin does not equal everyone Tennessee... As you say, Rodgers has demonstrated the potential to be a productive qb. Time will tell, but a lot of people believe that.Originally posted by TennesseePackerBacker
Merlin just doesn't happen to be one of 'em.Comment

We may have the youngest roster, but I really doubt that we've got the youngest group of starters. Our youth is heavily weighted at backup positions.
Merlin says that because of Ted's strategy that these young guys will eventually command premium salaries. Well it doesn't matter what strategy you employ. If your team is successful, other teams will come sniffing around trying to nab your players and coaches. It's all part of being successful.
Merlin is right that all fans make mistakes on players that they think will make it or will end up as busts. Everyone will be wrong about plenty if they post enough. But Merlin is just fooling himself if he doesn't realize that he missed on a lot more than almost everyone else here this season.
Maybe he'll be more right next season. Who knows.Comment

The only thought that goes through my mind when I'm in the dentist's chair is doesn't he have anything smaller than a 6" drill bit?Comment
