[QUOTE="PFanCan, post: 566675, member: 1989"] LOL. Bottom line for me is that the Packers are a classy, envied, well-run organization that has been a top contender for the Super Bowl nearly every year for ~two decades. They are far from perfect and have made many mistakes along the way. But, relative to their peers, this run has been impressive considering how challenging it is in today's era of "team parity" through salary cap restrictions and free agency. Ted Thompson has not been at the helm for this entire time, but has been now for a number of years and has had amazing success (or luck) with his early big-splash picks of Rodgers and Matthews as well as being part of the management team during the Super Bowl victory in 2010. He is becoming a bit infamous with his 1st round drafts since then, but has inversely found surprising success (or luck) with his latter round and UDFA selections. Also, GB has arguably become the "destination of choice" for many UDFA players who receive multiple offers. So, has he been good or lucky? Or, considering the amount of key injuries that have plagued the team lately, has the organization and Ted actually been unlucky? Or, did Ted heavily rely on his subordinates, who have mostly left for Seattle or other teams, leaving him lost going forward? I don't know. But, IMO, it is not logical to blame Ted for all the problems this organization has, yet not give him credit for all the success they have had, and continue to have, while under his leadership. He either gets both, or gets neither. And if anyone says that the Packers have not been successful during this period of time (e.g. Only two rings in 18 years...), I disagree. Only five teams during this period have equaled this feat (NYG, Pitt, Denver, Baltimore) or done better (NE). Do I want to "kiss TT's ----"? No, of course not. That's just an insult hurled by someone with nothing else to throw. But, am I pleased with the leadership that Ted has given this team? Yes. He's certainly human, but he's done a pretty good job thus far. [/QUOTE]
