You have drawn a parallel independent of what was quoted by Bishop. For sure I think it was a mistake to have not signed Jenkins but you and others have made a direct association from the statement made by Bishop to his acumen as a GM. Was there anywhere a reference to Thompson in it? Did anyone including Bishop say he was a better GM? Bishop only stated what he saw as a player and I happen to agree with his statement. To refresh your memory here is his statement which I posted: “(Jenkins’) ability to get after the passer is a statistic that’s underrated,” linebacker Desmond Bishop said. “(Sacks are) one of the biggest correlations between winning and losing, close to turnovers. (His absence) kind of took away from Clay’s production and the production of the defense as a whole.” Some here are tired of bringing Jenkins up but it is a valid point of the discussion regarding this past season. I think The Packers would have been a lot better off with him on the roster. Thompson made a mistake. Why is that so hard for people to accept? I see signatures as if Thompson is God like? The Eagles were smart enough to know that it was a rent for one year. We could have signed Jenkins for the same money which as it turned out wasn't all that great. But the problem was Thompson never entered into the negoitations even when the market for him came down. I'm getting tired of the injury prone argument as well regarding Jenkins. Some said Jenkins wouldn't last the year out. He missed one game! Then they downgraded his production to inforce their earlier "I love Ted" no matter what position. He had 17 1/2 pressures/sacks for the Eagles. Hell I would have done backflips over that. What did his replacements get? You can speak to Colledge but three years ago Ted also left the team without a viable option at OT. That resulted in a record # of sacks allowed and nearly got Rodgers killed. Gambling doesn't always work. Neal showed precious little in his past to roll the dice on. If you want to make the argument that Jenkins was injury prone how can you ignore the same with Neal? Jenkins was a productive player for the Packers in a 3-4 and he was a productive player for the Eagles in a 4-3 as well. You don't think he was a difference maker and I do. But I have his history and production on my side regarding Jenkins. No one expects Ted to be perfect and no one should gloss over mistakes he has made particularly in this instance. Winky eye right back at you. <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
