For me to continue my support of Thompson........

[Partial]

Ted has done a pretty good job so far. Wish he was more loyal to Packer veterans, but thats really my only complaint. Now we need to see the results show up on the field.

For example?

Not giving Tauscher a chance to compete this year. Is he playing at all? If he's out thsi year, I would hope TT would give him a chance to compete next year as he has earned the right to retire a Packer.

The entire Favre fiasco. I believe that someone who has done so much for a franchise has the right to retire on his own terms as a Packer.

[Brohm]

Tauscher won't be ready until mid October at the earliest. The Farve situation was a debacle for all sides, but it looks like everyone now is where they want to be.

Favre did retire on his own terms as a Packer. TT made it clear Favre was welcome to keep playing as long as Favre had the ability, TT never pressured the Legend.

What you meant to say is that Favre had the right to unretire on his own terms.

Tauscher: Why hasn't he signed with another team? Think before you write.

Favre: He did retire a packer. Are you trying to say that favre should get to do whatever he wants? That's funny as Montana didn't, namath didn't, oj didn't, jim taylor didn't, etc.

Either way, this is again your opinion,and your definition of loyalty. 2 examples...both of them are poor.

1 trip to the playoffs in 4 years.

They missed the playoffs three times under Wolf, and I don't believe they ever missed the playoffs under Sherman.

1992 miss, 1999 miss, 2000 miss.

Thompson
2005 miss, 2006 miss, 2008 miss.

What are you trying to say?

[MJZiggy]

He's trying to say that with 3 playoff misses, right now Thompson is as good as Wolf.

It's a business. I have no desire to ride guys like Ahman Green on the downside of their career. In a way Ted protected his legacy by not letting him stink up the joint.

Yup that about sums it up
We should make the playoffs and go deep in them this year tho.
If we don't, I wonder what the excuses will be.

Hasn't this been discussed ad naseum in 500 other threads that this needs to be brought up again?

I have pondered this myself and in fact started a thread on this topic.

I'm saying it's because Jags left before he could fully teach the byzantine zone blocking scheme.

My excuse is ready to go. Just in case.

I didn't vote in your poll:

Because you didn't include the obvious: Poor Pad level. if the Packers fail, that will be their downfall.

[Fritz]

Ah, yes. Pad level. The obvious.

I missed that one, and I take full responsibility. We're going to get that corrected. For sure. This week.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Well, kudos to you for recognizing that.

[mraynrand]

Well, kudos to you for recognizing that.

Didn't you get the memo? It's 'Fiber One to you' now. This is a health conscious, aging nation that needs it's fiber.
