Packers Used Bucs in Negotiation only?

[cpk1994]

If the Jets made the FAR better offer, and the Bucs weren't willing to come up, how exactly were the Packers "using" the Bucs? The Bucs have noone to blame but themselves if they made their best offer and it was bested by the Jets.

Becuase it may have been the the Jets made their offer knowing the Bucs wre supposedly close to a deal. The Jets mave never have offered the 4th if the knew TB wasn't interested.

Again, I'm just your local "dot connector" but I believe ol' Malcolm gave 'em the green light to get Favre.

Too bad you can't connect your own dots..as glazer has little input in the team..his son's run it.

More to the point..the Bucs weren't going to give a high pick for an old qb..not when they aleady have been short on picks since giving away the farm to get chucky.

You take great pleasure wallowing in minutia don't you? Most people find it irritating.

It is always minutia when you are wrong. when you are right its the facts. Strange how that works.

Mite be time for you to man up and just admit you were wrong. Not like we aren't use to it.

Well then, the Bucs should have made their very best offer what they felt BF was worth. If the offer they made WAS the best, it just didn't cut the cake. If they ended up leaving some on the table not knowing the Jets were in play, too bad so sad, but they were not "used."

It's called great negotiation. Nice job TT.

I'm sure his skills will come in handy when he's run out of town after an 8-8 or so season!

When is that going to be? 2011? Considering that Thompson just signed a contract extension, that he's the 2007 executive of the year, and that historically one team period has had success transitioning at QB from a legend, Thompson's job is safe no matter how bad the team is this year.

You mean like Shermy's extension?

How many "coach of the year" or "executive of the year" titles did Shermy win? How well respected by NFL executives was Mike Sherman? Excepting at the very top, in how good a shape was the roster under Sherman?

Literally nothing beyond an off the field scandal will get Thompson fired this year, sorry if that disappoints you.

Now if that boy tied up in TT's crawlspace gets out...there's drama.
