[QUOTE="Ogsponge, post: 528695, member: 9358"] I had posted the same sentiment about the tankers in one of the other threads and got maybe 2 people who agreed with me (not that I am all that worried about that) and was just thinking to myself "wth?" I actually had more people give me a disagree than agree when I said that if Rodgers is cleared to play, he should play and that an NFL team should NEVER play for draft position. That thread even went so far as to have one poster actually trying to tell me that the medical staff of the Green Bay Packers has NOTHING to do with clearing Rodgers to play! Again, wth? I guess the waterboy is the one that give A-Rod the go ahead right? My point is that, in times like this all the crazies come out and unfortunately, the crazies are always the most vocal so we have to put up with a lot of this crap. I am glad you said this because all to often I think we see the tale of two extremes during times like this. We see those that most of your post concerns, the entitled, ungrateful fans who want it all or the blindly "in Ted & Mike we trust"crowd that truly believe there is nothing wrong in GB when all evidence points to the contrary. There are some things that need to be addressed and fixed in GB and I believe any rational fan knows this, but, I also believe any rational fan realizes that sending Thompson packing is not going to solve any of those issues. I will add one more nugget as to the quality of football we have gotten to watch since 1992, since that time there is not a single NFL franchise that has a higher winning percentage, more playoff appearances, or less losing seasons than Packers! There are a couple that are close, in fact the Patriots will probably pull even with us after this year. So just think about that if you are fan of the Packers, for the last 20 years, you have been a fan of the most successful team in the NFL in that time span. The final thing I will say is that if we are lucky we have maybe 6 or 7 more years of opportunity ahead of us with Rodgers at the helm and I do hope our organization finds a way to take advantage of that and get us to another Super Bowl. I believe the team failed miserably after Holmgren left in finding a replacement coach that was going to help keep Favre in check instead of the long string of coaches that let him do whatever he wanted. My only fear is that the current regime will do something similar and not find a way to fix the problems this team does have while we have yet another HOF QB under center. I do believe this team has gotten too complacent in the fact that they believe as long as we have Rodgers there is chance, and while that is certainly true, more can be done to make that chance better. I firmly believe that this team should be and can be another mini dynasty in the vein of the 2000 Patriots, the 90's cowboys, the 80's 49er's and the 70's Steelers where multiple Super Bowls can be won. Does that make me spoiled or entitled? I don't think so, it just means I would love to see this organization take advantage of the opportunity in front of them. We are already the greatest franchise in the history of the NFL, I would like to see us add more during the modern era to truly cement that comment as being fact. [/QUOTE]
