[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 646960, member: 7261"] So you are saying TT is a terrible GM because he failed in 2005, 2006 and 2008, failed to make the playoffs. So I assume you feel he took over a playoff caliber team in 2005 and thus the Packers should have immediately been a contender? If you recall, Mike Sherman was relieved of the GM job in 2005 and TT was brought in to try and fix the mess Sherman had made. Mike Sherman was then fired as head coach after the 2005 season due to what most people felt was not only poor coaching, but questionable decisions as a GM. So to blame 2005 and 2006 on TT is way off base. 2008 was the year that AR took over as QB and the Packers struggled with their new starting QB. Your other comment: "[B]Great GMs make moves in every sport. They don't just stand pat, ALL the time". [/B] How has TT stood pat [B]ALL[/B] the time?
