Guys give them a chance ... o-line is probably the hardest position in the nfl to develop ... it takes a minimum 2-3 years to get thing started

Favre covered up alot of holes on this team over the years. I think it's unfair and naive to assume that Rodgers is going to be able to just step in and do the same thing.
I guess if someone disagrees with the universal belief that Thompson is a genius around here, he is attacked on this forum.
I guess New England didn't upgrade their team Packnic, and go 18-0 by signing other team's trash, as you put it. Maybe their GM should be run out of town for wasting their franchise's money.
Signing a veteran 0-lineman who is an upgrade to what we have now is outrageous, right?
I guess Wolf was outrageous when he went out and signed the Packers all those FA's that won them the SB too, right?

Vince_Favre said:Does being a genius mean not making the Superbowl this year but having plenty of cap money?
Because I don't think that's so genius. You use free agency to put your team over the top once they are close, like Ron Wolf did, by filling holes.
This team lost to the Giants last year because of their youth and inexperience, and to a man, they failed.
I don't know how genius that is either.
Right now, Thompson's teams are 25-23. Just a little over .500.
If they don't have a winning season this year, he's still .500.
Don't seem so ingenius to me.

Word. It's a shame we didn't go crazy in 2007 Free Agency like the Superbowl Champion New York Giants did. Michael Stone, Kawika Mitchell, and Marcus Bell. They threw some serious cash around, didn't they? They really showed us how it's done. Michael Stone put that team over the top, baby.

I want a 3-way with Ted and Aaron:
The Washington Redskins chose a good year to sit out free agency. Chicago, the Green Bay Packers, the Dallas Cowboys, the Indianapolis Colts and the San Diego Chargers also refrained from signing a single UFA from another team during the first 11 days of the signing period. Those teams might rank among the true "winners" of this free-agent season, simply by avoiding costly mistakes.

What's funny is we signed more people this year so far than all of last year. lol.

If TT went on the Viking boat and partied like a Minnesota Viking, then woke up when FA was over, that's a GOOD thing.

Man, I was on that. Nobody crosses Detective Trom and gets away with it. Sorry Fuzzy. Good luck with your next fake name.
Big_Dog said:One thought could be that Tightwad Ted is a genius for not overspending. My particular slant on that is that he's an ostrich with his head stuck in the sand if he continues to ignore FA like he has done and is doing.
Besides....what good does it do for the Packers to be 30million under the cap?
You know he could have signed a Javon Kearse or maybe Chris Jenkins and improved the dline dramatically.

My slant on that is 13-3 and one good pass away from being in the superbowl.
