[QUOTE="Bruce, post: 37666, member: 196"] I think you misunderstand the word primary. There is a big difference between being in the #1 role as a receiver and being a primary receiver. Are you denying that on several occasions this season we have had Thurman out on the field in not only 3 receiver sets but on occasion even in two receiver sets? The first Vikings game was turned around by the Vikings simply making sure they doubled Driver and took him out of the game after the half, -- which they did. Fergy went down in the first half and Thurman and Chatman moved and rotated into the #2 spot -- leaving Brett Favre no options. It was the formula that everyone schemed against the Packers thereafter. Unless the Packers wanted to continuously try to force the ball to Driver in double, triple and sometime quad coverage they had to run plays where Thurman was the primary target -- and he clearly did not have the talent to deliver. Fergy should have been on the injured reserve -- on any other team he would have been. The Packers being desperate let him rush back and play at less than 50% for most of the season. Putting in a claim on Rod Gardner was the first time T.T. made any attempt to bring in a serviceable WR. You have all heard me preach that even Brett Favre should be held accountable -- and he should, but T.T. is equally accountable for not giving him viable options. All of his forced passes this year can be traced back to losing not only his top receiver, but Green who was a great receiver out of the backfield, Fischer for a good chunk of the early season, Bubba Franks missing all of camp and preseason and then getting injured. He literally had no weapons. The Coaching staff deserves the Kudos for getting a third string Liberty College back ready to go -- but again they had to scale back the offense and limit the number of plays they could call. Are you all saying that T.T. has no responsibility for filling around injuries??? Ron Wolf always stepped up. Blame Sherman all you want but so did he. Thompson sat on his hands and left Favre to suffer all of this ******** criticism for being wild and forcing the ball -- yeah let's all pretend to not see the context. Enough of my rant. T.T. may have a plan -- but he sure as hell is not sharing it, and he didn't show anything other than being frugal this season. I hope he proves to be different in the future. [/QUOTE]
