Favre: the man, the legend. Are we having fun yet?

[Scott Campbell]

Thompson is a terrible GM, if you want to defend a man who has presided over the worst span of Packer football in 20 years while running the man who took Green Bay back to national prominence out of town then by all means do so, you will look quite foolish doing so, to me anyway. What about Thompson's Kool-Aid is so tasty that fans like you can't resist it? Is it his remarkable 31-33 record since taking over as GM? Was it his bumbling of the situation with Favre that made you a believer? Was it last years 7 game backslide? I need to know what it is that makes people blindly defend the man, it's quite interesting to me. Ted Thompson has one more year left in Green Bay, then hopefully after this years 7-9 campaign the Board of Directors will come to their senses and fire this horrible GM who has tainted the good name of this organization.

Ted is an asshat and a weasel and untill he is gone Packer Nation will be divided.
Plain truth, the healing will start as soon as he is gone, because so many Packer faithfull do not trust him

I think you're right about some people not trusting Ted. But I also think just as many don't trust Brett Favre/Bus Cook. And just as many think Brett/Bus is an asshat and a weasel. The difference is, Ted never enjoyed Brett's astronomical approval rating.

[Cornholio]

He never will enjoy Favre's approval rating, this is the man's last year. Unless a miracle happens and the Packers somehow become the exact opposite of what they were last year(which is highly unlikely) he is going to be thrown out of town at season's end.

Just remember this. When you wake up tomorrow, Ted will still be the GM of this team. And Brett will be anywhere but part of the Green Bay Packers.

Suck on that.

TT wanting Rodgers to be his man and push Favre out has no evidence.

And yet that is pretty much what happened

. In other words, your theory is complete bullshit.

Grow up or leave.

Why wait until year 4 of Rodgers career? After his first year the Pack went 4-12. If ever there was a reason to change QBs that would have been it. Instead they wait 2 more full years and then Brett retires. And only at that point does AR get promised the gig.

If TT really wanted Favre out it would have been after 2005.

tank again?

Why don't you make up more statistics to support your point?!?

GB Packers 88-91 under Infante were 24-40. But don't let facts stop your rant.

He's #1! He's #1!

I am on record as hoping that Favre will play again this year, then retire, then un-retire. Some TV producer needs to get wise to all this and sign Favre up for a reality TV show.

It's got possibilities. You could set up some cameras in the Favre household, and then cut to the headquarters of whichever team he's thinking of coming back to play for. You could interview different doctors who've treated Favre in the past. You could really get into that small-town southern culture.

We get to accompany Brett on his visit to the doctor, listen in as he drives his SUV and talks with Deanna about whether he wants to play, or whether he wants to be home to watch the kids grow up.

We could see interviews with the oldest daughter, watch her get taunted by classmates (I think she's almost in college? Or is now?) because her Dad can't make up his mind. We see her break down, crying, and watch Brett's brother Scott blaming TT for the girl's suffering.

This could be bigger than the Osbournes.

Look at it this way, TD, As a GM, you don't look at what happened 10 years ago (Favre singlehandedly bringing the franchise back without any help from his line, receivers, kickass special teams--who was the SB MVP again?--or amazing defense), you look to what is going to make your team stronger for the NEXT 10 years. And I would ask, if the GM is responsible for the 10 game backslide, he's also responsible for the record you backslid FROM. Ted Thompson got his team to one interception from the SuperBowl. He was named Exec of the Year and is most certainly not on the hot seat now. I suggest you get used to his presence because even if you whine yourself blue in the face (which may have already happened for all I know), he will still be there.

[Fritz]

I still think Ted gets two more seasons. If they play well, he might get an extension if he wants one. If they totally blow, well, he might be out the door after season two.

Unless he can pull a Matt Millen and buy a few more years by firing the coach.

I think Thompson is excellent at his job and I believe he will succeed in getting this team deep into the playoffs in his next two years.

Huh...what did I do to you???

Cornbaby said TT was the worst GM in the last 20 years. Yet from 88-91 we had a worse record so TT isn't the worst GM recordwise.

I would also add that if you look at the level of the talent at the bottom of our roster today it is much better than four years ago. Other NFL teams are raiding our practice squad and signing GB cuts after training camp.

Not sure how reliable this is...

Yes, this is it: If Favre is willing to sign a contract with an option that will determine his pay based on how he performs and how much he plays, the Wilf family will go all out to add Favre to the team.
