Of course you don’t. You don’t pretend to know anything of substance like talent available, cap consequences of an acquisition, the effect it would have on other positions, or STs, or the player’s effect on the locker room. You just think Thompson is responsible for your hero’s departure from Green Bay and you take any and every opportunity to criticize him for it. You’ll probably say you don’t pretend to know the facts but some of the rest of us don’t take pride in ignorance so here are a couple to consider: In the 2012 regular season Donald Driver had a total of 8 receptions for 77 yards and 2 TDs, having started one game. So much for losing a “starting” WR. By way of comparison, Jerrett Boykin had 8 catches for 103 yards and 1 TD against the Browns. Greg Jennings was certainly a starting WR in Green Bay but because of injury during the 2012 season he only started 5 games. If you combine Driver’s and Jennings’ receptions, yards, and TDs , Jordy Nelson had more of each than that combination. James Jones had more of each than Nelson, and Randall Cobb had more of each than Jones, except for TDs. BTW, what a goofy statement (we are fortunate?). No. In fact, the Packers did lose three of their top 4 LBs against the Browns: Clay Matthews, Brad Jones, and Nick Perry were all out. Not only that, but the main backup ILB, Robert Francois, is on IR and Mike Neal saw limited duty. And they did just fine, didn’t they?
And just like James Jones and Cobb, Matthews, Brad Jones, and Perry will likely be back. Perhaps Finley too. I think it’s obvious who the hack is. Beyond that I can’t help but indulge in some schadenfreude knowing it had to burn you up to watch the VP/GM who you believe pushed your hero out of Green Bay lead the team to a title. Thompson was right and you were wrong!
