Message: <blockquote data-quote="SpartaChris" data-source="post: 310208" data-attributes="member: 1007">Rodgers wasn't openly asking Ted to sign Lynch. I think his comments in that regard are taken way out of context. He was asked his thoughts on bringing Lynch in and he said he was for it. That's it, that all it was. It wasn't an open plea to Thompson to bring Lynch in like Favre was for Moss. It was a question that was answered. As for mistakes, I don't think you have many, if any, GM's or coaches who come forward and candidly admit they made a mistake. They make those admissions through other means, such as cutting a player. A common gripe against Ted is he doesn't cut his draft picks. Ask Brian Brohm how that worked out for him. Frankly, I'm fine with how Ted doesn't chase his tail with free agents in the off-season. I think the reason so many fans get after him is their own lack of patience- They want something to happen just so they can see something happen, not because it's necessarily a good move. I think Ted has proven to be excellent at player evaluations and has shown he'll go after guys we need, especially if it doesn't look like there's anyone in the draft who will be able to fill a particular spot. I'm fine with us not chasing big names and building the team through the draft, because in the end, we're going to have a very long history of winning. Can't say that about a lot of teams.</blockquote>
