Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sunshinepacker" data-source="post: 529538" data-attributes="member: 9033">My only concern with Thompson is that having the best QB in the league can cover up a lot of faults and this front office has lost quite a bit of brain power over the last few years. When I discuss the GM, I'm really talking about the whole front office staff. Has Thompson been a good GM over his tenure with the Packers? Of course he has, that's not even a question. What is a question is whether Rodgers has managed to compensate for a decline in the front office over the past couple years. Recent drafts from the Packers haven't been as successful as past drafts, there's really no arguing that. Outside of Cobb I can't think of a single great player that Thompson has drafted in the past four years. In his first four drafts TT drafted Rodgers, Collins, Nelson, Jones, Finley, Sutton and Matt Flynn. While some may disagree with Finley's inclusion, try and remember how dominant he was before hurting his knee (that playoff game was INSANE). I didn't include CM3 in that list because I wanted to keep the timeframes similar but you get the point.Now, the problem that TT presents is that he relies SO heavily on the draft that any decline, if it exists, becomes a pretty big problem. Do I still think Thompson is a good GM? Yeah. Is he perfect? Nope, and I won't ignore his flaws just because he's better than some of the other GMs in the NFL.</blockquote>
