Out of all the 31 solo owners of all the other teams in the NFL, who do you think would make for the best fit as a Packers owner and why?
Some teams are owned by consortium, but please do not ask me to name them. But to answer your question, it would have to be a billionaire, and you'd prefer someone with strong local ties. Bon Jovi's name is mud in the Buffalo area because his consortium that recently bid for the Bills includes Canadian businessmen...the fear is they'll move the franchise 100 miles up the road to Toronto.Out of all the 31 solo owners of all the other teams in the NFL, who do you think would make for the best fit as a Packers owner and why?

So, who are the billionaire names with strong ties to Wisconsin? Kohl, the Johnson Wax people, the Kohler family...somebody like that.
To answer your question directly, I agree with GoPGo. Bob Kraft was the first and only name that came to mind. He seems to be a compassionate owner, doesn't micro manage, and can hire quality executives. Those are important qualities to me.Out of all the 31 solo owners of all the other teams in the NFL, who do you think would make for the best fit as a Packers owner and why?
Really? I was going to nominate him!NOT Jerry Jones.
No one. If the Packers had a single owner the franchise could be moved. BTW, IMO this would be an OK topic in March or May. Not so much two days away from the opener. Just my opinion of course so carry on...
We also have the man who owns the Menards home improvement stores.Some teams are owned by consortium, but please do not ask me to name them.

I wont give you an "old".....but you are getting old with thisIf the Packers had just one owner, no matter who it would be, criticizing that owner would be intolerable to some in this forum. Accepting all as truth simply because a public relations representative of the team tells you what to think, is safe and warm and does not challenge the status quo. I would believe that a single owner would move the Packers out of Wisconsin as fast as possible. Los Angeles most likely, and change the name too. Thick skins to brave the Wisconsin weather is normal in Wisconsin, but thin skins seem to also be prevalent as well. If you disagree with this, then show the ability to express that opinion. Negative ratings are a poor substitute for a well organized written logical argument.
And by now he / she would be really really really old.If the Packers had just 1 owner they would have been gone from Green Bay about 80 years ago.
This is what's called 'raising a straw man'. Very, very few here accept all the front office does as gospel. Very, very few refuse to accept criticism of the front office and coaching staff. You post as if you are bitter for the lack of support for your unfounded criticisms of Thompson. But that in no way means reasonable criticisms of Thompson are rejected out of hand.If the Packers had just one owner, no matter who it would be, criticizing that owner would be intolerable to some in this forum.
Please take your own advice and post a well organized logical argument. The Pickett thread would be a good place to start.Negative ratings are a poor substitute for a well organized written logical argument.

Save big money on Packers tickets and gear!
I think that's something we all could dig.
With a shovel. Bought at Menards!
LOL
