Thompson Bashers = Idiots

[Reggie 92]

Good thing the brass in GB has more common sense than the legion of idiots that have made bashing TT their pastime. When Harrell opens up lanes for Hawk and blossoms into a disruptive force will they still be clammoring for Meachem who showed up to Saint's camp out of shape and unmotivatied?

I read the posts on this website apprxoimately 3 times a week and rarely post. All the "doom and gloomers" ..while I believe they probably have the Pack's best interest in heart, are stuck in 1996. It's a decade later and the NFL has evolved. It's not the era of leaving your franchise players unprotected and vulvnerable to free agency. It's an era of drafting smart and

Thompson is genius. Look at the '06 draft. He revamped a OL to fit the scheme with competent and skilled players and added a franchise player in Hawk. Jennings could blossom into something special..a pro-bowler.

The lasting image of this draft is the group of 13 year olds booing the selection of Harrell. How shameful.. The kid looks like he's going to be special. Look at his combination of size, penetration, run support, and leadership. The man pleyed hurt when it counted and PRODUCED.

Drinking and typing again, are we?

I don't think they are idiots but other than that, nice post. I pretty much agree with everything, esspecially the era changing.

BTW - I think Justin Harrell will do very well and that people will be glad we have him.

I have to say I was disgusted by the kids booing the Harrell pick. Absolutely ridiculous and egotistical to think you know better than a guy who's getting paid to do this for a living.

I'm no huge Thompson supporter, but there's no way in hell I know more than he does about football players.

People aren't "idiots" because they disagree with you. I hope like hell the Packers win 10+ games this season but I dont see it happening. But who knows, it is way too early to predict anything right now.

THe kids wern't the only ones booing. That said, it is not hard to see why the pick was booed. The offense has a lot of holes and instead of picking to help the offense, you pick a player where you have depth already.

I have a feeling the kids just followed along. Only because the cameras were on the kids is this even an issue. Even then, so what? So they booed. I'm sure there were quite the few on this board who booed the pick. I mean, we are not allowed an opinion in your hoilier than thou presence?

Do you see the difference in someone posting an analysis of the Harrell pick and who they would have picked and why; and someone posting that TT is a moron because it was a bad pick? I don't mind critical analysis but yes, people who launch personal attacks on TT are out of line.

Just remember, the Nick Colllins and the Greg Jennings picks were also panned and booed by many Packer fans. I won't call the boo'ers idiots, but obviously they haven't learned from the past. Perhaps TT is on top of things when it comes to selecting players in the draft. We have yet to see a major bust, he is definitely ahead of the curve on talent evaluation - at least so far

I don't want a blind faith cheering section either, mind you, but many of the posts strayed from any type of intelligent discussion and centered on angry knee-jerk reactions.

Apparently you are entitled to your opinion but I'm not? How does that work?

People may not be idiots...but what they are saying may be idiotic.

AK & Harrell will be the leaders of our line for years to come

They also could be little green men that live on the moon and eat cheese, but I doubt it.

I forget. What is TT's record as GM? Way over .500 right? To say I'm an idiot because I believe TT has reached his own personal Peter Potential is ridiculous. We can disagree, but we all want the same thing- a Super Bowl. Some of us believe thta we are farther away now because of TT's moves-or lack thereof. I hope we are wrong.
