WHat are you guys talking about?! Ted Thompson didnt draft Justin Harrell. Mike Sherman did! It’s his fault!

There is no point to this thread because there’s nothing to talk about at this point in the season. So, Monty’s making stuff up.

He likes to stir the pot. We oblige him quid pro quo.

One huge advantage that Wolf had was he was ahead of the rest league in evaluating and acquiring free agents.

Now all of the other teams know the game very well. With the Daniel Snyders of the NFL fucking it all up, it’s not possible to sign a top guy without handcuffing your team to a 60-100 million contract.

Well said. People want to put on rose colored glasses and look back to the days of Ron Wolf. Wolf did a lot of fantastic things while he was in charge, and he took us to great heights. I won’t deny that. But to pretend that he is/was infallible is simply ludicrous. Thompson’s made a few really great moves, a lot of average-to-good moves and a couple of dumb moves, just like most GMs.

The two aren’t so different when you look at it.

The difference is that Wolf just had a slim cupboard when he started. Thompson inherited a good team yes, but one riddled with age and way over the cap. He had to clean up the mess left by the mismanagement from the disastrous reign of Mike Sherman.

Did I miss something? Did TT publicly state he was NOT taking responsibility for Justin? Since when does TT duck responsibility? He’s not going to pass the buck, so what is the point of this stupid thread?

[...] Total Packers says that if Justin Harrell does turn into a true bust, the only person to be at fault will be Ted Thompson. [...]

As a GM in pro football you should make no mistakes…I have reviewed the draft over the last 5 years and to date have made ZERO mistakes with my picks through the first two rounds. Therefore, it is logical that I be the Packers fucking GM so that the Pack will win the Superbowl.

The only reasons I can fathom as to why Harrell is still on the team are because 1) it’s cheap; and 2) he may be trade bait if he can show something.

His injury history does not inspire confidence that he can last a season. TT gambled and lost with Pat Lee last year. I hope he doesn’t make the same mistake.

Before it even starts…

I know Thompson didn’t draft Woodson, Grant and Pickett. But, he acquired them. That’s what I meant.
