Official Fire TT Now Thread

[Lurker64]

The thing that always confused me is this: why did so many people think the GM needed replacing?

In general, in sports you only replace someone if you can upgrade the team by doing so (or it would be too costly to retain his services). If a better Punter is available, you can replace your Punter. If your first baseman is overpaid and underperforming, you can try to replace him with a cheaper player. If your coach reliably fails to get the team ready, and there is a (theoretically) better coach available you you can upgrade that position.

But why do we believe we are all so quick to judge the GM? Certainly, the buck stops there... but we don't have nearly enough information to conclude that the GM "isn't doing a good job" (except using the long-view, since every GM will miss on picks and every GM will make some mistakes in free agency) and we absolutely have no clue who we would replace him with that would be better. I mean, seriously... if Ted Thompson ascended to a higher plane of being and left his physical body tomorrow to travel through space and solve crimes, do we have any clue who would be in line to replace him?

You guys having fun yet?

I'm proud that I've backed TT 100% at all times but, alas, I've been riding Stubby like a homo on viagra yet it all paid of in the end.

Packers wins it all & off to the big show...to show the world that Packers are the best sports team in the world.

I wonder what Tank must be thinking now..........

You know he is still on this site. Name is Snake. I'm sure he will steer clear of this thread though. He always hated tt with a passion. I'm not certain that isnt HIS website

Paging Dr. John Holmes..

Really? I (like most others) thought tank was a complete tool of the highest order. Snake? Not so much; although I have to question the validity of some of his posts (one could chalk that up to the natural embellishment of a seasoned yarn spinner, or bullshit artist if you will). Nonetheless, IMO Snake is infinitely more likeable than tank. If they are one and the same, he has seriously re-invenented his online alter-ego.

i like this one. i'd get it if it had a big j/k on the back.

If Ted Thompson wasn't such an idiot, he would have drafted Sam Shields. He totally lucked out that Shields chose to play for the Packers.

Erin Rodgers fell into his lap. TT is the luckiest guy on the planet.

Justin Harrell - need I say more?

And he let go of Brett Favre, the guy who carried GB for the last 15 years. Without him they will fall of the face of NFL relevance. Without him, they're nothing.

Ted's an idiot for drafting a big fat guy like Raji instead of a dynamic gamechanging playmaker like Michael Crabtree. Fat guys are a dime a dozen, just take a non-fat guy and give him enough donuts.

Man, you guys are too harsh. At least, wait until we see if the Packers play in and win the Super Bowl.

If we lose then fire the bum. Finishing 2nd out of 32 teams is ridiculous.

Sweet Jesus...I haven't heard that name in forever. Do you all think we will hear from "The BaddestBear" this week?

I think this is funny, especially coming from you since many, including myself, believed Mazzin was one of Tank's alter egos!

Snake only posts in the wee hours and unlike Tank, he doesn't get infatuated with a subject and beat it to death.

As Travbrew pointed out, if they are one and the same he's done well masking it. I always liked Tank and he caught me out with his Dr. Holmes personna.

Now, now. It's not Crabtree's fault that Bretsky liked him.

Most of us knew he was brilliant long before this season. You must be referring to MM.
