Principle vs. Reality for Ted Thompson

[sharpe1027]

Just remember, while other teams address their issues, Thompson isn't addressing ours in any way but through the draft and a coaching change.

Just remember, every time that you see a team sign a FA or make a trade there are 30 or 31 other teams that did nothing. I honestly think that some people have the mindset that all non-packer signings are made by the same successful team.

When one of the top 3-4 FAs do not get signed by the Packers that means 27+ other teams also did nothing. Yet somehow people still complain when it doesn't happen each and every year.

Thompson got himself a 2-3 year pass with the switch to the 3-4. Now he has an excuse for the next two seasons if things don't go well. If we bomb in 2009 it's because of the "new" defense and it "takes time", like the ZBS we still haven't mastered in 3 seasons. There is always an excuse for Thompson to keep his job and I am sure if we aren't successful in 2009 there will be another one that extends his tenure another 2-3 years. 4 years under Thompson and still his loyal followers see things like he does "I like who we have here" and "I hope we are successful". Coming off of a bad season and the only move we make is to fire the DC? Sound familiar?

Brilliant!
