[QUOTE="Bruce, post: 46645, member: 196"] [b]Re: Three things...[/b] Ted Thompson and Harlan made it quite clear that the GM would have the power to and make all final decisions on roster and personel decisions from day one of his hire and have continued right through the most recent news conferences he has held on the hiring his new coaching staff. I don't blame T.T. for wanting to see if Bate's could turn Hunt around -- but it was his decision and according to several sources inside 1265 Sherman had had it with Hunt after the 2004 season and was suggesting a June 1st cut. Thompson had the power and he made a mistake. GM's make mistakes, it is not the end of the world, but it is a Thompson mistake no matter how you slice or dice it. Wahle has repeatedly said that he believed he would still be wearing Green and Gold if Sherman had remained the GM. That Sherman had repeatedly assured him that he would rework his contract -- Wahle also states that Thompson never expressed interest in retaining him. Is the HORSE'S MOUTH a good enough source for you? As for this lame duck crap -- coach's contracts come up all the time. Do you think the players are stupid? Do you seriously think none of them had a clue that there were clear tensions and a possibility that Sherman would be let go? For Christsake the P.R. department followed-up Sherman's extension signing by saying that it did not mean he would be retained and put it out publically. Thompson is a lot of things, but stupid is not one of them. This was not an attack on Ted Thompson. He is the GM of the Packers and for that reason I hope he is successful, I want him to succeed. I am not calling for his head, nor am I denying that he deserves some time to develop his plan, but it is absurd to pretend that there is nothing to evaluate him on or that we should ignore the decisions he has made to date. He deserves credit and needs to take responsibility for his performance to date. That is all Pufall put forth and certainly all I have ever put forth. No sarcasm intended, but why is it my job to prove that the GM who holds all of the power in football decisions is responsible for the moves and decisions he makes? Shouldn't the opposite be the standard ?-- if someone wants to hand out free passes and deny the right to analyse they should have to put up the proof as to why people should do so such a foolish thing.
