[QUOTE="porky88, post: 80562, member: 489"] I didn't mention any names. You are consistent with your posts (though I did catch one :D ). Lare is as well. They're are some people on this board that just post out of despise for Ted Thompson. I did a lot more reading and I went back and looked at old posts and new posts and they're are some people who just contradict themselves just out of I'm guessing hatred of the Packers GM. I don't agree with building the offensive line like he is but I like what he did on the defensive side of the ball and ultimately he couldn't of done what he did to the defense and bring in offensive lineman at the same time. If he would of the Defense might not look as good and GB definitely probably wouldn't have the amount of cap for next year. Next year I think he absolutely needs to address the offensive line and sign at least one guard because of how he handled the cap situation this off-season, we’ll have money to do so. This year it wasn't deep at guard. We had the 5th pick and made the right choice probably for our team. Hawk wasn't the guy I wanted. I wanted Vernon Davis but from the sound of things, Davis wouldn't of signed with GB anyways so Hawk made the most sense. We picked up guys who fit the blocking scheme which is a plus. Daryn Colledge is a perfect fit. In free agency Hutchinson was paid 49 mil contract and GB in my opinion was smart to just not offer him a contract similar. Did we make contact. Sure.. Do we pay a guard 50 mil, no that's too much and that's when you start blowing your money away. I think the one thing Packer fans in general need to realize is that GB is in year 1 of rebuilding the Green Bay Packers. They're no longer a contender for a Super Bowl and to go deep in the playoffs. Favre probably won't get another Super Bowl ring. Favre did say realistic expectations would be 9-7, I think if fans took off the green and gold glasses, they'd agree with that assessment. No dis to the optimistic fans, it's only natural to want more but I think a little realism doesn't hurt.
