[QUOTE="Quientus, post: 256537, member: 1834"] While I don't agree on alot of Ted Thomson dispositions during his tenure so far as GM of the Packers ... - I just don't see how everyone can blame it on "TT's Ego", when it's about the Randy Moss trade ... Alot seemed to indicate that the Packers and Ted Thomson was actually going to trade for Randy Moss, however, the trade was made to another side and Randy Moss ended up in New England ... and the rest is as the saying goes ... History ... I didn't like that the Packers wanted to go on with out Favre in 2008, however from a purely business perspective - it was the *right* and correct (business and franchise) move - at *THAT* time ... Alot more happened that wasn't disclosed in the media, and even then, if anyone bothered reading between the lines of all the media hype, would have picked up on that ... - However, we all know when it comes to the media, most of them, run a story, without first checking it's merits ... and the sad part is ... - It always "turn" on the "lead roles" - who will invariably (sp?) get caught up in the middle, having to address the media, who then will twist and turn every statement in order to sell more papers / magazines or get higher tv ratings ... However, after the 2008 season ... and not looking to improve the current situation regarding the offensive line, as well as the special teams, and still only seemingly wanting to improve the team via the draft ... - From a business perspective - Moving on with Favre, started to seem a little "hasty" ... Then onward to the 2009, where the Packers so far, has been the (unperfect) example of what usually happens when you don't address the possibilities of acquiring veterans via the free agency market ... In 2008 - it was the right call ..., however taking into consideration the past actions done by the management overall, SINCE then, - from a business perspective - NOW - Moving on was *Not* the right decision ... Last, the "sad" part of all this is also the "tragedy", because, despite the differences between Ted Thomson and Brett Favre ... When all is said and done ... - Those two people *where* actually a very good "fit" for each other ... [/QUOTE]
