Thompson may be a good GM, but he's not a good leader

[QUOTE="PackFanInSC, post: 151640, member: 598"] I believe, what we have here, is a failure to communicate. (What movie did that come from?) If Brett said that he would come back if we got him some help, that does not exactly mean to get Moss. To Ted (a former LB), the best help that you can give the offense is a short field. Building up the defense would take far fewer premier players than to re-vamp the offense and keeping the score down and staying in good field position would allow even a mediocre offense to score. (Can we say -- Da Bears?) That being said, the positions on offense that needed addressed were mostly touched on during the draft. We drafted players at RB (who, in the ZBS, need not be the "elite" back in order to succeed), 2 WRs that look pretty good and potentially can return kicks as well, a TE that can catch and another RB (and a LB) that can possibly slide over to fill the FB position. Add an improved defense (Harrell closing down the run and Rouse cutting down the "explosive" plays) to slight upgrades to several positions on offense and sure tackling LBs on special teams -- along with a kicker with an incredibly strong and accurate leg, I can see were Ted did keep his word to Brett to help him -- and did not break the bank while doing it. Signing several of these rookies (for 4 to 5 years) as opposed to signing a 30 year old WR for 1 year on his way to free agency both fulfills his promise to Brett and puts the pieces in place for after Brett leaves.
