[QUOTE="AmishMafia, post: 540722, member: 2846"] When I saw you had 4 ‘Winner’ ratings, I didn’t even need to look. I knew exactly who the 4 would be. Not necessarily speaking for the Pro-TT crowd, and in the interest of gaining an understanding, I would like to provide a readers guide of sorts for you and your ilk. 1. Nobody believes TT is perfect. 2. Nobody believes TT never makes mistakes. 3. Nobody believes TT cannot make improvements to the way he does things. 4. Nobody is happy with the poor performance of some players and position groups 5. Nobody has given TT a ‘free pass’ 6. Nobody says TT cannot be criticized Posts to the contrary reduce the posters credibility and validity of any comments. I offer this analogy: Aaron Rodgers throws an interception in the 49er game. Was there outrage directed at Rodgers? Was there a demand to alter the way he plays football? No. It is understood that no QB is perfect, nobody, in any profession, can be expected to be correct, accurate, and perform the best 100% of the time. I am sure everyone can agree with this. So how would you handle somebody, or a group of individuals who continually post that something is wrong with him, we need to replace him or he needs to change his throwing mechanics. So why, if the Packers don’t win a SB each season, is there suddenly something wrong with TT and the way he does his business? I think we can all agree to these points: 1. The Superbowl is the goal each season 2. The Packers, at the beginning of the season, have been a contender for the Superbowl each of the last 4 season. 3. Very few teams, if any, can make that claim. For these reasons, I find the fact that a team assembled by TT, that won a SB, is evidence that his method of team building, can build a championship caliber team. In my view, and I believe that of others, the following is true: 1. Thompson will always be heavily criticized for any issue on the team 2. Some people will always have a negative view of TT, no matter what 3. Winning the Superbowl is not an easy task with 6-8 teams each having a decent opportunity each season 4. Winning the SB in 2010 was a great accomplishment that TT was overall responsible for it 5. We cannot expect to win the SB each season. 6. If we did not lose CM3, Jolly, Hayward, Rodgers (don’t think he was back and sharp 100%), and Bulaga – beating the 49ers was very likely; beating the Seahawks was likely and winning the SB is a 50-50 proposition 7. The way TT has been treated on internet forums has been abysmal and embarrassing. Especially before the SB when he was accused of being cheap, an ego maniac, a Favre hater, a person trying to ruin the Packers, gay, etc. There were posts of him in cross hairs, demands to set fire to his house, etc. There is a sensitivity created in those days that may cause a few of us TT supporters to overreact to the heavy criticism. 8. There are no complete teams in the NFL, every team has weaknesses. Finally, here is what I think TT thinks about that directs his moves: 1. Keeping the team competitive for the long term is a component of every FA acquisition 2. Improving the team for a year at the cost of future years is not a good idea 3. All FAs are considered 4. TT wants to win the SB and every decision he makes he believes will put us in the best possible position to realize that goal 5. TT does not worry about how much money is spent – just what it is spent on 6. TT will spend every penny he has 7. Some FA don’t want to come to GB 8. Some FA, although great players, are buttheads and would spoil team chemistry [/QUOTE]
