Report: Thompson out as GM

[hoosier]

I used to take care of the grounds for an elderly couple when I was in highschool. They were in their mid 90s. Emil and Dorothy Cobb. Emil was a professional boxer in the 30s and would give me boxing lessions - he considered it part of my compensation. Anyway, both Emil and Dorothy took me aside to warn me that the other one was starting to get a little funny in the head, and I should just humor them.

I guess you could say old Emil had "lessions" on the brain.

You guys are hilarious. Youre acting as if the Packers have been a dumpster fire since Ted was hired instead of a perennial playoff contender.

These are dangerous times for the organisation and if Murphy fucks this up, you’ll be singing a different tune.

Yep, these are very scary times. First major move without Bob Harlan in control in many, many, many years.

There's gonna be panic in WI. I predict the grocery store shelves will be picked clean.

I hope they hire from outside the org just to fuck with everyone.

Nay, without Lombardi. How will we survive?

I just hope Murphy makes the obvious move and hires the wunderkid who's been groomed for this since the 90s. If you can't get Dorsey or Schneider, then go Wolfe.

I am shocked to my very core that if this were known to be happening or planned, Dorsey ended up in Cleveland. Makes me think this wasn't planned and something went down behind the scenes. Maybe ARod made a threat to not resign?

This may actually be the way to go.......

[HowardRoark]

Planned? What happened was Anthony Barr.

Just something I've been wondering:

Did TT make those deals knowing a change was to be made and wanted to clear the deck for the new GM?

did TT even MAKE those deals? timing seems fishy. i bet one of the cap gurus did it per Murphy.

Aaron covered up a lot of mess. But last few years we've been a wreck at various points with CB, RB, WR and Oline with injuries and talent leaking and improving elsewhere.

We should search for sure. Wouldn't mind or be shocked with Wolf. Ted stays in a transition year as an advisor or something

Sounds like the consensus was he was "fired", aka asked to step down and transition to different spot?

[wist43]

Shocked?? Yes!!!

Will it result in much change?? Likely no...

The next GM will come from within, and "from within" is where a lot of the problem is.

The organization has a very weak philosophy with respect to defense... since the new GM will come "from within" there is no reason to expect any philosophical change.

Dorsey/Schneider/Wolf in no specific order

Dorsey/Schneider/Wolf in no specific order

Agreed. Unfortunately they're not getting either of the first two I don't think. Would be amazing though.
