[QUOTE="texaspackerbacker, post: 495867, member: 25"] That day came and went - after we won the Super Bowl, after the 15-1 season. I posted about 5-8 years ago, before getting burnt out and stopping until earlier this year. Back 5 or so years ago, Thompson was a real pariah - hated for his perceived cheapness, ridiculed in some pretty disgusting ways even for rumors of his personal life. Fast forward to this off-season when I started posting again. I had the gall to suggest Thompson fell just less than "great" as a GM, and people in here went ballistic. I am just guessing, but probably TT bottomed out in public opinion before Aaron Rodgers became a star and the Packers won that Super Bowl. Now, after peaking, he has fallen just slightly, but still is way nearer to what Amish dreams about than his low point. Through it all, Thompson has been the same guy - for better or worse. The EXTREME success of his Aaron Rodgers pick has made his whole philosophy seem like THE way to go. Could things be even better if he had a slightly more proactive policy on signing free agents or if he did better/had better luck with first round picks? Yeah, maybe, but how in the hell are you gonna prove something like that? I say what I said the day I returned to this forum: TT is a very good but not great GM. [/QUOTE]
