I defended him moderately then because I liked the idea of not wasting big money on other team's free agents. Since then, Thompson has gotten a lot more popular. Why? Basically because he got unbelievably lucky drafting Aaron Rodgers and only slightly less lucky drafting Clay Mathews. He also has done very well, of course, picking up gems from the scrap heap. I'm not sold on TT as being a great GM, however. I have to ask two questions: Where would the Packers be without Aaron Rodgers? Answer: very near the bottom. Would the Packers be better off if TT was not such a penny pincher in terms of free agents? That answer is kinda speculative, but I think we'd be significantly better off.</p></blockquote><p></p>
