What the FUCK!!!!

[Anti-Polar Bear]

And by the way, Tank, the Giants were NOT the top bid for Arrington's services.

Who is then?

Word is Green Bay had a slightly higher offer but he turned it down.

Then that only show that Thompson fucked up. The good GM would be able to lure at least 2 Pro Bowler to Green Bay with $35 mil. Thompson has none.

Arrington's signing with the Gaints just shows that nobody with exceptional talant wants to play for the fucking polar bear.

past pro bowls don't guarantee future pro bowls...remind me again...why did Washington let him go?

There was a conflict of interest between the organization and Arrington. That doesnt mean Arrington is washed up. Is Arrington better than the LBs we have? Yes. Would Arrington upgrade the LB crops? Yes. Did Thompson fucked up? Yes.

[MJZiggy]

How EXACTLY?

[Anti-Polar Bear]

How EXACTLY?

Is the Packers any better at LB now the Arrington is gone? Ask yourself that and you will see the light of truth.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Another player who shouldve been in Green and Gold is Chad Hutchinson. But because thompson is so fucking cheap, hutchinson ended up with fucking rival minnesota.

talk about fuck up.

That doesn't answer my question. How did Thompson screw up getting Arrington here. By not performing a Chinese Water Torture treatment until he signed the contract? If he's not going to do it, he's not going to do it.

You aren't going to get the answer you want Zig. Tank would want to trade all of our picks away to get him.

[RashanGary]

Maybe we should have offered Hutchinson 100 mil over 5 years. That way we would have the leagues best gaurd.

Wait a minute if we spend 20 mil per year on a gaurd then we won't have enough money to keep our other good players....If that happens we'll have a good gaurd but a crappy supporting cast......Something just came to me. One decision effects the other when dealing with a set budget and football teams can't just toss money around like it grew on trees.


Thompson just stated in his conference that he will attemt to fill holes using FA but will not pay more than he believes a player is worth. With that in mind and our newly discovered understanding of the simple cause and effect relationship, we could deduct that Thompson made a decision not to overpay for a player he beleives will not be worth his contract.

Wow....With a 2nd grade understanding of cause and effect and a little extra highschool deductive reasoning we can begin to understand the world around us and not live life so angry and frustrated. Go unwind to some coldplay you damn moron because thinking things through is obviously not a stress reliever your capable of exercising.

Just checking to see if he's switched to harder substances.

What do you think; I'm online every fucking second of the day? Please, I had to go get some shit to eat cos i hadn’t ate anything all day.

As for your question, Arrington is not a Green Bay Packer and that’s why Thompson screwed up. When you have a shot, and have more money than the other team and you end up empty handed, that is the mother of all fuck up.

The good GM must be able to persuade talented players to come to his team if he wants to field a winner, much like a college coach must be able to recruit the top players to his team if he wishes to win the Championship. Arrington is just an example of another player out of many who told Thompson to go fuck himself. Woodson, Hutchinson, Bentley or Peterson, among others, are players any good GM would’ve gotten.

Ted Thompson is not a good GM.

Since you are the genius here, explain how that notion is going help the Packers make the playoffs, please.

I just want to know precisely what it is you think he did wrong to not get Arrington? Is it TT's fault we don't play in the East? Should he have moved the team to accomodate him? How would YOU have gotten him in GB, Tank?

[pacfan]

geez, I didn't know we could write cuss words. this is to cool.

[RashanGary]

I'm on my way to work....I'll respond later....

It's complicated but it involves getting the most talent possible with the cap space you have and how certain moves and decisions effect that.

I think you can figure out a few different ways that a GM can get more talent out of his 100 mil than the next guy can with his 100 mil but if you want a list of a few things that push franchises in the right direction I will give a list of a few things and how the Packers have not accomplished those things over the last 5 years.
