I am disappointed in Thompson and staff for apparently not contacting the agents for Trevathan and Green. And we are in agreement far more often than not, but IMO you went over the line with the comment I bolded. Thompson obviously cares deeply about doing his job – so much so I consider him the equivalent of a “gym rat”. He's certainly not distracted by his glamorous social life. Thompson is obviously aware of all the UFAs and for whatever reason(s) decided not to attempt to acquire either. Again, I think that was a mistake, a particularly significant one regarding Trevathan but Thompson can make errors in judgement while still caring deeply about his job.
Having said that, I do think it’s also disappointing that some here refuse to criticize Thompson at all some going so far as encouraging all to 'just trust him'. And some make what I consider outlandish excuses for him. For example, posting ‘perhaps he was waiting for the price tag on Trevathan and/or Green to go down’. The only way such an excuse would make any sense is if he or his staff were monitoring those price tags.
BTW, I think some should keep in mind that Thompson certainly and demonstrably makes mistakes. And others should keep in mind the Packers will likely put a pretty damn good team on the field this season.
