[QUOTE="Mondio, post: 758355, member: 10441"] There has been very little written about Ted over the years. He doesn't give us much. But the 2-3 well written things I've seen over the years point to a guy that just loves football. I laugh when I read all this stuff about Ted doing this for his ego and being stubborn to prove he's smarter than everyone and making this decision to protect his legacy and is some sort of puppet master pulling all these strings and making all these people dance to stay in control, but behind the scenes to take the spot light off of himself. One might say, it boggles my mind. I think Ted is easy to figure out. He loves football, he doesn't care much about himself or his legacy and has always made decisions he thought were in the best interest of the GB Packers. he's not perfect, but sometimes he was the smartest guy in the room :) I think he had a vision and some might say he was stubborn, others might say he was disciplined enough to stay within that plan when it was awfully tempting to stray from it. I think it played a huge role in making the first pick he ever made for the Packers, but that's just me. I've been accused of having Ted Posters up in my bedroom so i'm probably biased. I think he got us built with great chances to win at least 2 more Super Bowls than we did. One more with Favre, then made the decision to move on and looking back that was an easy decision and very popular one too LOL, and then built it again to win with Rodgers and we did, saw some attrition then made a couple signings again to build it for that '14 run and don't kid yourself. We were stacked. That should have resulted in some more opportunities, but specific positional injuries really hurt the next 2 years. Now it's time to build again and he saw it was time for change and stepped aside and is giving another guy a chance to build this team. and he left us in decent shape like I always thought he would. We need some players, it happens in football and in life. Cycles, ebbs, flows. But we're not drowning in cap commitments and we have some room to work and make more if need be. I wish he would write a book one day. I do think he's incredibly smart. he rarely spoke and he'd have little quips and some pretty funny stuff thrown in that I don't think most people got. and he'd always tell you nothing and I don't think he needed to. So many faces of a franchise, I think he was smart to let the coach, the QB, the legends of this team be the faces and he just did his work. I would think most people that have worked for success have a lot of respect for Ted, even if they didn't like all of his decisions. [/QUOTE]
