Yep, way to insult instead of argue Zero, could you please put together the OTHER side of the scenario for me?

Ted has made the 'other' side difficult but when I get home from work (which is where I am scrambling to reply here before getting caught) I will try to do that. keyword ---- try lol

So how do you know what TT told Brett? I believe Brett knew what he was getting into.

Good post and he did. You can see the difference in Favre's press conferences to this year and last year. Favre understands this team is rebuilding and he came back to help the Green Bay Packers in the best way he can.

Rebuilding has such an ugly sound to it. id prefer we call what TT is doing "reloading".

its much faster than rebuilding and it is absolutely necessary. and TT is concentrating on winning ASAP. just understands we had no chance with the Sherman built teams. so he had to Stop. Reload. Then go back at it as soon as he could.

To reload you need ammunition. TT has done nothing in the way of bringing in any ammunition for this team to be successful. That would mean signing some talented FAs and not castoffs waived from other teams. "Reloading" would have included resigning Wahle and doing *something* to improve the mess we call Special Teams.

He is cutting most of the experienced veterans we have and replacing them with rookies, or no one at all (eg. Davenport, Walker, etc.). He is banking the future of the franchise on unproven draftees who will take on average 2 to 3 seasons to demonstrate they have the potential to become solid starters. That is rebuilding in its purest form.

Notables, signing driver, kampman, pickett, woodson(if you ignore his pre season flop an weak bears game-- solid PR), ben taylor, ahman green, william henderson, jon ryan, i would say dave rayner but **** lets see the kid kick one when it COUNTS, etc etc etc

Really, you can write a helluva lot of good things here. Read through and surely someone of your high intellect will figure it out. Like getting rid of ppl like Hunt, Davenport, Peterson etc. those were positives.

You have to cut some losses to show the team it doesnt matter who drafted you or where you were drafted. Just ask 4th rd pick Cory Rodgers a valued DISH Network customer :)





Some of Ted's moves do draw questions with me. Like, Mike McCarthy is one that I am starting to question. A man is only as good as his word. He said he was NOT going to abandon the run. 16 carries and 20 in two games for Green? Looking up history he gets better with more carries in the 4th quarter. Give him 20 before the fourth an 7 - 10 in the final period and we win. (specualtion on the 'win' comment at the end)

That's a lot of code.

Why does rebuilding mean changing everything at once? Favre gives us the best chance to give Jennings the chance to learn. Having him pick up tips from Favre gives him tremendous potential. Rodgers can wait. He will have enough pressure on him to live up to Favre's potential. And I don't how many times it has been said to let the O-line mesh before bringing Rodgers in.

By the way, Zero, hope you don't mind if I steal your picture.

Good post. Besides when Favre does leave you're gonna have to rebuild again.

I am hoping not. Hopefully we can draft a good running back to replace Green (I don't see Morency becoming the #1 RB) and the O-line can mesh together. Sneak into the playoffs.

Optimism is great!

Before we put any new QB in place we need two things to happen or it will be a mess with little success. 1) Solid OL to get the run game back on track/protect the QB/give the QB a chance to play action.2) Solid D to keep the team in the game and pressure off the QB.

Sounds a lot like the Steelers when Big Ben broke into the league...

I think Michael Silver makes a lot of good points in this article, even though he is somewhat overdramatic. Also, I think it would be hypocritical for the Packers to bench or trade Favre during the course of the season, and somewhat hypocritical for Favre to demand a trade during the season. Here is the quote from the article that struck me as really being on the money:

I discussed this situation with a person who is extremely plugged into the Packers' organization, and he likened it to "one of those mismatched couples that stay together even though they don't really want to be in the relationship. But neither one wants to be the bad guy and end it, so on it goes."

I think that sums it up right there.

There are three things Thompson could've done when he got here. One was to try to win it all right now with Brett Favre. Another was to rebuild and try to either trade Favre or force him into retirement. This second one was not much of an option, because the fans would hate Thompson forever if he did that.

So Thompson chose the third option, which was somewhere in between the others: Rebuild the team while trying to keep Favre on board. It is a very awkward way to go, but then, it is almost always awkward when a great QB nears the end of his career. John Elway was a rare exception. Regarding Favre, I think Thompson is making the best of a difficult situation. Whether or not Thompson proves to be a good GM overall is still to be decided.

There was a 4th option Greg that would have been a win/win for everyone had TT chosen to take it.

TT could have started the rebuilding AND given Favre a good offensive line and WR threats. All he had to do was sign a decent veteran lineman or two, and a good vet WR to compliment Driver earlier on in FA rather than having to scramble to try and do so now.

I think TT really didn't care about winning now even with Brett Favre on his team, and that is where he made his fatal flaw. If you have a QB of Brett's caliber on your team, you should always try to put him in a position where he can win football games for your organization. It wouldn't have taken much effort, and it would have left plenty of $$ and resources to rebuild the defense, which is really where most of the Packers problems were after the o-line.

Yeah thats all we had to do. come on guys its easy. just sign a decent veteran lineman and a WR and were going to the superbowl baby.

and the fact that you think it wouldnt take much effort is what kills me. the NFL aint that easy bub. Everyone wants to win. but only one team gets the championship. and you show me how TT could have added the veteran lineman that we need, a WR, AND rebuild the defense with the little money he had. Then show me how easy it was, THEN SHOW ME HOW YOU CAN GUARENTEE IT WOULD WORK.

How bout this solution. Bring in a defense, draft some talented lineman for the future and bring in a pro bowl WR for pennies. hmmm

Wins equal job... Loses equal no job. If you think that TT doesnt really care about winning. well your just misinformed i guess.

Easy.

Re-sign Wahle in '05.

In '06 sign one of the many veteran lineman that were available in FA.

In '06 try to sign or trade for a vet WR that was available (Randel El, Branch, Stallworth, TO, Keyshawn, Moulds, etc..etc..)

Poor TT. He had so little money and the evil Mike Sherman screwed him, and he was left on the side of the road like a little orphan in a ****ens novel. The money excuse was used last year. They had plenty of money this year.

You know Picnic you are using my pro Sherman argument now for TT. Sherman has a great record but couldn't win the Super Bowl. I used to tell you that only one team outta 32 can win it all. Being competitive gives you a shot. We need to get to the point where we are competitive before we can even dream of a championship.

I'm glad you were listening grasshopper.

I think TT definately is doing whatever HE believes it takes to win. I just wish he would of wanted to do it with Jim Bates. Keep Bates and at least that possibly lessons the need for more help on D cause he knows how to get those guys playing. Not to put TT in the same class but wanting to win doesn't always mean much. See Matt Millen, you don't think he wants to win.

We need to get to the point where we are competitive before we can even dream of a championship.

i guess it just depends on how you believe we need to get to a competitive state, dicpack.
