[QUOTE="TJV, post: 567901, member: 4300"] So now after asserting without qualification or any evidence whatever that’s it’s McCarthy that controls the draft, you’ve now backtracked to say Thompson makes the final decisions but isn’t solely responsible for “building the Packers”? Don't those posts of yours I quoted above now look even more like you were just taking shots at Thompson? And even with this you are saying Thompson must share the credit for all successes but when actions aren’t taken he is entirely responsible? What happened to all the lists, and discussions, etc.? If others have input on actions taken, why wouldn’t they have input on actions not taken? And when actions not taken involve a player having to agree to come to Green Bay or another team agreeing to a trade, is that also entirely Thompson's fault? [B]In my opinion[/B] this is an example of political correctness gone wrong. Every kid doesn't win the race (even if they all get a trophy) and every opinion isn't equally valid.
