[QUOTE="Voyageur, post: 939047, member: 17953"] Actually, I thought Thompson did a great job. This [URL='https://bleacherreport.com/articles/584484-packers-general-manager-ted-thompson-a-history-lesson']article[/URL] gives a synopsis of the moves he made, to get us out of cap hell, and to move the team forward. The years late in his term were marred by his health, which may have been covered up by those around him, if for no other reason than they cared for him, as a person. It may not have played out well to some people, as fans, but inside 1265 Lombardi Ave., the people who are there still treat each other like family. Thompson was not going to be thrown under the bus. The problem is, some people carry a grudge, and it deals with how Favre left. I was there, for that first Shareholders Meeting, after that happened, and outside the stadium it was an interesting scenario. In fact, I was interviewed that day, on TV, about it, and I told them I thought people were seriously overreacting. It was obvious Favre didn't really want to be in GB any longer. It was time to let him go. I feel the same way about Rodgers. If he wants to stay, that's great. If he wants to go, that's fine too. Like they say; "Don't let the door hit you in the a** on the way out." I wasn't convinced that the 3 headed approach to management was going to work from day one. I thought everything should channel through the GM. I'm still of that belief, but I have to give Gutey credit for the job he's done in drafting, and through free agency, without spending enormous money on guys who just aren't going to give you a decent ROI. I do hold him accountable though for being part of the Rodgers problem. That doesn't excuse Rodgers, just saying that it takes two to tango. When this season is over, and cooler heads prevail, I'm hoping that the two men find that they aren't as far apart on what they wish for with the Packers, and make the team better for it. At least, that's what I hope, because I think both bring something special to the table.
