T.T. gives the media no ammo

especially at the end when they asked him about Favre... I'm glad he is taking the high road on these questions...

I wonder if T.T. is doing all his studying now on the Senior Bowl so he can fall asleep at the NFL combine?

I'm disappointed that Thompson took time off from scouting in order to talk to the media. There's plenty of time for that after OTAs.

I'm disappointed that the media still wants to stir up trouble between Favre and The Packers.

TT remains one of the best executives in pro football.

TT remains one of the best executives in pro football.

We'll see. He hasn't really done well at the positions that do matter most: The line. Our OL is still relying on veterans to hold down the fort, and while he got picket he was just as productive as the linemen he let go in grady. He has drafted top DL with top picks and neither have showned much yet, though Raji will have a shot this next season.

Hawk hasn't played up the #5 pick since his rookie season. Matthews had a great rookie year... lets see if he can continue it.


He isn't a bad GM, I never really thought he was. He is pretty solid at drafting players in general, but the fact he pretty much never gets involved in FA makes it so hard to win. FA isn't always the key, but he seems to always "draft for the future" and not go after anyone that we could use desperately, like a stud guard, or D-Linemen.

Woodson was a great pickup, but you can hardly say year to eyar he has been committed to wining that year based on the moves he makes. He is a solid gm, but until he puts together a championship team he is nothing more than that.

I don't think Bob Harlan surrounded TT with the talent he needs to win.

The guy in charge of office supplies is always getting low on paper clips.

You can hardly say that based upon the moves he makes, year to year, he has not been committed to winning that year. :P

I get a huge kick out of the media always trying to pry something from Thompson, and he never changes.

After the last season the debate was, was 2007 or 2008 the "fake" year.

So we have now gone: 4-12, 8-8, 13-3, 6-10, 11-5

We have been in the playoffs 2 of the last 3 years. We have an exciting offense that finally got on track at the end of the season. Our defense played well in it's first season as a 3-4 team. It seems to me that TT has things going in the right direction with a stumble last year.

I think last year's 6-10 mark had to be expected with a new leader in Rodgers, and all the Favre drama in the start of camp. The thing that wasn't expected, was for our defense to fall on their face, so I would say we have the ship turned in the proper direction.

He needs to acquire the talent to win a Super Bowl and build a consistent winner before he can even be considered one of the best.

I may be in the minority here, but I think he already has for the most part aquired championship caliber talent. And the core is young. Color me crazy but I feel this team has dynasty written all over it as the core players continue to mature together as a team. They'll only get better going forward.

The King has already annointed him.
