Ted Thompson Era Should Be Over

[JLW_51]

I am not a McCarthy fan, but Thompson threw him to the wolves on this. Sure, McCarthy should answer questions about this, but all of them? Ted needs to get his *** off the road from scouting and actually be a GM.

What’s bother the hell out of me ...
Is Ted Thompson allows little to none imput from McCarthy as far as any of the roster decisions.

Now who told you that BS? Or are you just making that up?

What’s bother the hell out of me ...
Is Ted Thompson allows little to none imput from McCarthy as far as any of the roster decisions. Why is McCarthy having to handle the ******** with Bennett.... many times Thompson has stated I’m the GM and McCarthy is the coach both by word and dead Thompson should be ridding point not McCarthy. Just another example of why Thompson needs to go .Just like coach’s can become out of date we have AWorld war two GM.

you don't know what input MM is allowed or not allowed. so why make a statement you literally don't have clue about like you do? as for the rest. How many times in the past decade has Thompson had an inseason press conference? and how many times have players been acquired or released in that time? People are so damn dramatic about everything. This is easy for McCarthy. Here it is, I don't make the roster decisions or medical decisions, this is what I know. That's it. That's all he has to say. That's all he did say, that's all he'll ever say. It certainly doesn't mean he doesn't have input. and he's never going to tell us what that may or may not be either.

you know why they all have defined roles? because we don't get to know everything and this is there way of insulating decisions from the rest of us that don't have the privilege of knowing. We aren't on staff, and they don't throw players under buses, or other coaches. They keep things in house and move on. Exactly as they've done here. I think it's rather obvious what's happened. But people are getting way bent out of shape because they feel like they need validation or an explanation from the FO and they aren't going to get it. Just like they never get one. Players come and players go and nobody really gives you anything. But I guess now they have another reason to manufacture a reason to not like Ted again LOL

haven't you learned by now, he's not telling you **** LOL and none of us have a right to know any of it either. If we want to know, we should probably be smart enough to be on an NFL staff. But we're not.

You have a cite for that?

Are you kidding. Thompson himself has stated many times YOU can go back and find it in many preseason or predraft articles in ANY creadited packer publication.

It's a reasonable request. If you are making quotes it's only fair that you give your source or it's merely supposition.

Read I what I said McCarty needs to be coaching period not dealing with personal issues . He’s has a team that is struggling to say the least compared to past standards set by this team we are failing ,coach’s have enough to do without having to do tasks that should be handled by the General Managers department. Your presonal attacks are BS

Based on how this season is going, it would appear that Rodgers is the difference between this team being 5-11 versus 11-5 and in the playoffs. Without him, this roster appears to be severely deficient. If the Packers were to bring in, say, John Dorsey, what's the worst that could happen? They go 10-6 and make the playoffs?

To those who are defending keeping Thompson on as GM , can I ask for your argument as to why not try something new?

He is certainly getting very stale with his team-building philosophy and I think his scouting is getting horrendous. I'm also sick of his first round picks all coming out of the Pac-12. Go to the ACC or SEC ffs.

Now I'm not going to start the tinfoil hat stuff that proudsoftballdad started, but I don't like that he let Cook walk. He saved nothing but pennies in doing so, broke off the chemistry Rodgers had going with him, and now saw all the dough get blown.

Ted Thompson is officially too old and senile as bad as Al Davis to be running the front office. Promote Elliot Wolf.

So now becaus YOU got caught in a lie you delete it nice

What lie ? You quoted some statement and you were reasonably asked for a source. I said he was within his right to ask for it, and you go off on one and get offensive !!!! No foul by a moderator asking for a source to your quote.

You personally attacked me yet your right what a jerk abuse of power much.... source Packer report March 2016 a trickle about Thompson and his drafting ..... it’s copyrighted so look it up yourself

 

[PackerfaninCarolina]

I wrote up a piece on Thompson and free agency. As I go over, it would be complete insanity to turn his back on Free Agency now after the Bennett experiment failed. http://lastwordonprofootball.com/20...t-shun-free-agency-failure-martellus-bennett/

Honestly, I actually don't think he will. But he'd better wise up about it cuz he's already starting to get as bad as old man Al Davis.

And here comes the red X lol

I think you are possibly being over generous at 5-11 without Rodgers. I will not be shocked if this team ends the year at that record and it was Rodgers who was QBing for 4 of those wins.

This season could very well boost Rodgers claim for GOAT and could also help to pull back the curtain, to expose the real truth about just how average TT and MM are at assembling a team and running the show.

For years, after every loss, we were all pointing fingers at this guy or that guy not doing their job on offense, defense or special teams, when in reality we could have just always said "Yup, Aaron just didn't do enough today, to cover up for the other 51."

 

[Mondio]

And you should stick to jacking off in the corner

Probably the greatest contribution to a sports forum ever. Lol. At least the best you've ever made

 

[swhitset]

can we please make this guy go away?

Not to feed the troll's claim about "input," but I'm not sure how much I'd blame McCarthy for this. I'm not saying he has no blame, but he seems to get beat up a bit undeservedly sometimes. I would say where I've had my question marks about him is whether or not the players have tuned him out or if he's still getting the best out of them. So far, I'd say they're as much in his corner as they've ever been under him, and I think he can still get em up for the big ones ... Apart from maybe the game in ATL.

I also feel certain trolls inaccurately label him as conservative. Stubborn? Yeah, maybe he is a little but I know what conservative and aggressive are unlike a lot of people. Only time I ever had a beef with him not being aggressive enough was not going for 2 in Arizona.

I just feel, if the argument can be made that Rodgers is being forced to play with crap surrounding him, Mike McCarthy is also being forced to try and make chicken **** into chicken salad.

Now ... Is MM fully responsible for the roster being that? Well, I disagree with our troll friend on him having no say ... who has what leverage on it or picking out the players I don't know. But Thompson does run the front office and scouting, so ... I'd be inclined to put the lion's share of the blame on him.

Now ... Is McCarthy the sole authority on Capers staying? There again I'm not going to speculate on what I don't know. If he is, then perhaps he does deserve heavier criticism for not being willing to drop him and get a younger better guy for the job. If it's Ted Thompson or somebody else up there, then I'd say it's they who need to come under heavy fire.

How was my comment a personal attack ?
I said he had every right to ask you for a source. If that is personal I'm a vicious SOB. You need to calm it down or say goodbye for a couple of weeks.

Jolly ol England, they've given us Sid Viscious and Viscious Buggybill.

In a twist of irony Sid was also known as Softball Sid...hmmmmm

Whats the problem? There is nothing wrong what Buggybill said. All he wanted was you to find some citations. I am not sure how that indicates a personal attack?

To be fair (for those who are in the "try something different" corner), Ted did take a somewhat different approach this last offseason. I saw this as an encouraging sign. I'm just afraid that since he got burned with this Bennett situation, it might make him more hesitant to go after free agents in the future.

Free agents signed from New England tend to not perform as well for their new teams as they did for the Patriots. Which makes sense, because Belichick seems to know how to get the most out of his players. Bennett seemed to have little respect for the Packers organization, ultimately.
