[QUOTE="Deleted member 6794, post: 661070"] If you're satisfied about leading the league in snaps played by undrafted free agents, kudos to you. Aside of Sam Shields there hasn't been a bona fide starter amongst them though. I'm not excited about the Joe Thomases of the the football universe racking up snaps at a position Thompson didn't adequately address in the offseason and struggling mightily while doing so. It's true there have been posters complaining about Thompson signing street free agents, I wasn't one of them though. Actually I'm applauding him for moves like that because compared to signing an UFA as it doesn't factor into the compensatory picks. I fully understand the Thompson Can Do No Wrong crowd on the forum doesn't appreciate other posters not agreeing with every single move and even daring to criticize their idol. On the other hand I'm tired of hearing that every single free agent will turn into a bust, become a cancer in the locker room, destroy the cap structure and diminish the team's chances to stay competitive over the long haul. Once again, let me be clear about this. Overall Thompson has done a pretty good job over his tenure as the Packers general manager. His biggest flaw has been not selectively using free agency to address obvious positions of need. With that being said, compared to you I'm more than capable of analzying Thompson's work in an objective way and his UDFA success over the last 11 years isn't anything to get excited about. [/QUOTE]
