In retrospect, trading down and avoiding Montee Ball was the third best move Ted Thompson has ever made in the draft.

Okay, I want to be sure you're joking. IIRC, most posters here excoriated Thompson during that draft for not getting Ball when he could have.Originally posted by Bretsky View Postanother failed WI Badger RB; the list is long

So, surely you're joking to suggest if it weren't for Denver TT would've grabbed Ball."The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."

I've also heard that he wanted one, and didn't favor either over the other. I further read that he made the trade assuming Ball would go first and Lacy was the one he really wanted. I suspect all are just guesses, and those close to TT may not even know what he would have done if both had been available to him.Originally posted by Bretsky View Postanother failed WI Badger RB; the list is long

HERE IS A DEEP THOUGHT....I'll probably get mocked....but who cares
Will Ted Thompson ever get Brett Favre'd out of Green Bay ? THINK ABOUT IT....it could happen.
Eliott Wolf is a rising star. GB is doing everything hey can to keep him happy. He's the next guy if he does not leave first.
Last year per the GB reporter GB refused him an opportunity to interview with one team and he declined with another.
I think GB is desperate to keep him. I think it's clear he does not always see eye to eye with MM
When Favre left, I think GB knew he has another couple years but they also knew Rodgers was the real deal.
Ted has 1-3 yrs left...maybe...but Wolf a career ahead of him. Perhaps a NUDGE.........a new title for TT
Could Teddy get Brett Favre'd soon ??????????????/TERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWER

Nah, we're right where Ted wants us - a perennial 10-6 team that is always just out of reach of the prize. Yes, 2010 was a "fart in the wind" - a deep thought from Ron WolfeOriginally posted by Bretsky View PostHERE IS A DEEP THOUGHT....I'll probably get mocked....but who cares

To get Favre'd, TT would have to retire on his own accord. When he does that, we will never hear from him again.Originally posted by Bretsky View PostHERE IS A DEEP THOUGHT....I'll probably get mocked....but who cares

Favre wasn't forced out, he was barred from returning. Favre opened the door and walked through, only to have the Packers lock it behind him.

Yes, Thompson must have been disappointed when the Packers won the SB that year.Originally posted by wist43 View PostNah, we're right where Ted wants us - a perennial 10-6 team that is always just out of reach of the prize. Yes, 2010 was a "fart in the wind" - a deep thought from Ron Wolfe

Is Charles Woodson enough to make me watch ESPN football coverage that still contains Berman (and no Tom Jackson)?
Ironically, the factor tipping it in its favor might be Randy Moss.Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

the good that woodson would bring would be shaded by the extremely poor take of moss. so the tipping point is berman...and that kills it. was good in the day (with jackson) but not now.Originally posted by pbmax View PostIs Charles Woodson enough to make me watch ESPN football coverage that still contains Berman (and no Tom Jackson)?

if GB wins one SB under Ted's reign, will he really be considered that great ?TERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWER
