What did you expect him to say, "Ted Thompson is an idiot?" Mike H is not Mike R's boss and he was responding to questions from a writer putting together a nice fluffy "Ted is the Greatest" article. Do you seriously believe that Mike Holmgen (a control freak if ever their was one) who was President and GM at the time, simply said, Oh I'll just hand it over to Ted Thompson and go with whatever he says?" If so I have some nice highland in South Florida I would like to sell you along with some Ocean front in Kansas.Ted Thompson was a member of the team that targeted Alexander (a great pick) and McIntosh (a terrible pick). He deserves props for that and I give it to him for that. He did not become GM of the Packers because he is an idiot. He knows football and has a solid football mind. My fear is he has been promoted beyond his competence to the level of his incompetence in the step to GM. I hope I am wrong, but do not see anything that is instilling great confidence in his performance to date.</blockquote>
