[QUOTE="toolkien, post: 621569, member: 4637"] Thompson didn't blow anything. He took a severely declining team as constructed by Mike Sherman (and probably Favre behind the scenes) and in TWO YEARS had the team back in the NFCCG. All the while, he had a prima donna who thought he should be the de facto GM or get to snap his fingers and go where ever he wanted. And despite that Thompson had the team surging upward. It was Favre who decided alone he was so important and above the team that he was to get treatment no other HOFer had ever gotten - not Tarkenton, not Staubach, not even Montana. It was Favre who was the prime mover of all the problems of 2008. It was Favre who thought he was so in the right that he could spout on Greta for three nights running. It was Favre who thought he was supposed to anoint head coaches (and the attendant play book he was to play under), he was the one who was to decide who got to stay and get paid, he was the one who was supposed to dictate free agent signings. He even thought he was due sign-off on the draft AFTER HE RETIRED. In short, Favre just wasn't "difficult" he was a nuclear waste land of self centered stupidity. And under those conditions, I think Thompson did exceptionally well. [/QUOTE]
