TT Confidence Meter

Ted has provided us with an exceptional return man. Blackmon just can't stay healthy anymore.

As opposed to when?

He didn't miss a game in 2008. How quickly we forget.

32 games out of 64 possible in his career. He's durable only if you're comparing him to Justin Harrell.

Beside the point. You said Ted Thompson hasn't provided us a decent return man. 2 years ago Will Blackmon was an exceptional return man for us (nice job omitting the return stats I posted from that year in your response btw), and he was brought in by Ted Thompson. I offered the Tramon Williams example as a decent return man also. That's 2 more than decent return men Ted has provided us with.

I STILL think that return men are only as good as the blocking...Cribs and Mel Gray maybe the exceptions

If the return man is only as good as his blocking then why do Tramon Williams and Will Blackmon excel where Jordy Nelson does not? Vision and explosiveness matter when returning kicks. Nelson has neither.

Can't wait to get Blackmon back.

not going to keep quoting

that being said, I think that you have to for sure have a knack for returning however you also need good blocking to have any explosive returns.

I'm in the majority and am surprised there are not more posters in the top level. I consider TT safely in the top six to eight GM's. I've warmed to TT and I hope my opinion of him goes up each year.
