I may have missed a prior reference to the mess he inherited from the previous regime - and I just want to add that Mike Sherman was a helluva good man that was plain and simple in over his head as GM/VP. There was a real good reason that Holmgren took Thompson with him to Seattle when he raided Green Bay's refrigerator on the way out of town. Holmgren's ego (and he has one - a BIG one - and I still love the guy) never really allowed him to lay the personnel acquisition props for Seattle's first Super Bowl run at Ted's feet - but all accounts lay his responsibility for it at Thompson's feet. Then, he came here and did it again. Now granted GB still had Favre which resulted in Thompson being a 'second thought', but the fact is that Green Bay was a descending franchise during Mike Sherman's tenure, and MY GUY Ron Wolf has to take some of the blame for that - and Saint Bob Harlan as well. Ted "righted the ship" all but immediately. Ted needs to be placed on the same "ring" spot that Ron Wolf occupied before his induction into the NFL Hall of Fame -- off to the right of the retired numbers. Just my opinion. Thompson bought into the Wolf "Packer Way" and executed it as Wolf would have. For that, I'm grateful.</blockquote>
