brett, bellmawr, nj: hey larry, im so sick of people blaming the teams bad play on thompson...how do you feel concering his GMing abilities?
LM: I think time will show that he's a good judge of talent. I did an interview with Mike Holmgren before the Seattle game and asked him how big of a role TT played in the Seahawks rise to Super Bowl Contender. He said very important, that TT ran his draft - and he wound up his statement saying Ted Thompson will get it done in Green Bay. Fairly emphatic stuff.
For Holmgren to say that is a bit surprising.
I am on the fence with Thompson, I like SOME of his moves and they are positive, think SOME of his moves have been terrible and he has dropped the ball, and finally other moves I just can't judge yet.
The issue, as I see it, is can Holmgren's words be taken at face value, that he is being honest or is Holmgren being biased and helping out a 'friend' in Ted so to speak?
