Better GM...Thompson or Wolf

[Gunakor]

If TT leaves, he'll probably take over as GM and bring Favre in to coach.

I'd just hope it's still MM running the QB school. While Favre was exciting to watch as a player, I'd hope like hell that he isn't coaching the next crop of QB's to do it his way.

I don't think MM becomes GM anyway. Mike seems to be an x's and o's guy, not a personnel guy. I honestly think he'd miss coaching too much.

As long as TT is here, I don't think MM will want more say. I think he has quite a bit of input now, but doesn't have to deal with the headaches a GM does. If TT leaves, he'll probably take over as GM and bring Favre in to coach.

I will be surprized to see Favre as an NFL coach. I think that Favre will coach in some capascity but more likely as his Father did at the High School level.

Favre a coach? Lmao. I believe he would make a good NFL analysis on one of the pregame shows but coaching from a guy who hates to practice? Like saying Allen Iverson would make a good coach.

I watched Brett Favre in a video coaching some 7 on 7 football in Hattisburg, Mississippi. He was asked if he was definitely retired fr. the NFL and he responded..YES! He certainly has alot of knowledge as to how to play offense. How many times did we hear commentators remark that he was like another coach on the field. He looked in pretty good shape in this video that's on the ESPN Viking Website under ' Viking Clubhouse ' as I recall it.

Maybe he could get a gig from some team desperate enough to look past his off the field baggage.

But I doubt McCarthy would want anything to do with the guy - he's a cancer.

NO No NO! Favre has a Bday in October.

Flynn isn't so bad. It's too early to compare him apples to apples with Hasselbeck, though I think his ceiling could be every bit as high. I can state with absolute certainty however that we do not have a Craig Nall backing up AR. He's somewhere inbetween the two right now.

Having said that, and answering to Woody's post, if we were to lose AR to injury I absolutely would think that would have a great deal of bearing on the job TT has done as our GM. And I think it would be extremely favorable for him. While a GM cannot control injuries, he will be held accountable for plan B. And while plan B is never preferred, our plan B is one of the best in the league. So I think Thompson would be given high marks from his peers and most fans should the unthinkable happen and we're forced to go to plan B.

I agree 100%, right now Flynn has shown in his 1 start that he can play pretty well.

My point is that after this year Flynn probably leaves to get a shot at starting somewhere else. At that point TT needs to dig up another QB with talent and let MM coach him up. Flynn has done well, Brohm not so much.

Wolf got us backup QBs like Brunnel, Hasselbeck, and Brooks. All starters on the teams they went to after the Pack. I am hoping that TT can continue that streak as GM.

As far as their play on the field, taking charge in critical situations, etc. I'm not sure that White did much more for the Packers than Woodson has. The aspect of White that was so key was changing the image of the team to one that top players will go to willingly. Of course, the situations surrounding their free agent status were totally different. Everyone wanted White, no one wanted Woodson. But in the end their impacts on the field were very similar.

Signing Pickett was similar to signing Sean Jones, with similar impacts on the team.

As for all the other FA signings by Wolf, TT had as many free agents with similar impacts, but his other free agents just had somewhat different backgrounds. The TT free agents of Tramon Williams, Sam Shields, Charlie Peprah, Howard Green, Frank Zombo, Eric Walden, John Kuhn, etc. have been just as key as the ones you mentioned that Wolf signed, maybe even more so when you think about what Williams and Shields meant to the defense.

In my book, a free agent is a free agent whether he is a well-known veteran, a lesser known veteran or an unknown inexperienced player. He is an available unsigned player that any team can sign, and TT has picked some good ones who played key roles on a Super Bowl Champion.

Yes, TT has used free agency but his FAs for the most part are unproven guys like Tramon, Kuhn, Shields and Zombo as compared to White, Sean Jones, Keith Jackson and Eugene Robinson.

I could see Favre doing pre-game banter kind of shit. Maybe send Bradshaw some dick pics during the broadcast.

On Cinemax maybe.

Tiebreaker goes to TT since Wolf hired Sherman ?

I'm going TT.

Wolf sold out, won one, came close in another and then was never truly top notch before or since.


I think this TT assembled team is going to be at the top a lot longer and has a great chance to win another title in the next couple years. They're great now, and unlike the Wolf teams, they're only getting better.

Not to mention TT helped bring the Seahawks to the big game as well. He left and they crumbled. That's two successful franchises.

Holmgren's coaching tree is amazing.

[HarveyWallbangers]

While it may never be in Holmgren's class, I see McCarthy having some of the same success with his assistants. I think there are several coaches on the team that will eventually be coordinators or head coaches elsewhere.
