[QUOTE="Bruce, post: 36822, member: 196"] [i]FOR WHAT ITS WORTH, HERE IS SOMETHING I WROTE FOR PACKERCHATTERS[/i] For all of those who want to applaud Ted Thompson and send accolades his way with encouragement to blow up the way things are and to start over completely, they may be wise to look a little deeper into history first. Yes, Harlan had the wisdom to bring in Wolf, get out of the way and let him go to work – work that produced a NFL Championship and a very questionable 2nd half of play calling away from a 2nd. Fans should always be grateful for that – but should not forget that it was not the first time it was tried. Remember Forrest Gregg was brought in and given Carte Blanc to do the same. He cleared house and began building a franchise that he thought would take the team to the Promised Land – I probably don’t need to remind most of you how that turned out. Some will protest with declarations that, “Ted Thompson is no Forrest Gregg.†[/QUOTE]
