Barry Sanders.
Why would they do that? You can put all the makeup on Rosanne Barr you want and she would still be ugly.
I have the same problem with the Vikings trading for Holocomb. Now there are several experienced QB available including Leftwich, Nall and Rattay.How about TT waits until after the cuts and then tries to make an intelligent decision?? Instead hours before the cut deadline he jumps out and grabs a body. Hell, Brandon Jackson was picked and he never even played a full year plus having both shoulders operated on. I see no wisdom at all in this. ( Jackson could well be a decent back down the road but do you throw all your chips on him?) By the way, as far as my drinking problem, I haven't had one for about 3 weeks because of a bad back but come Tuesday I go back to work and shortly after it will be Miller time!! Thanks to all you counsellors for your concern!!
Is this where Thompson supporters tell us about the wonderful job he has done addressing the tight end position for the Packers?Ted Thompson bashers
So you are saying that it was too challenging for Thompson to address the running back and tight end position. Thanks for clarifying.
Here is a football tip for you.....having a tight end that can stretch the field does make it easier for the receivers too.
Beach was cut from the Packers in June. How was Ahman Green the reason he was cut when Green was with the Texans at that time? Beach spent the 2006 season on IR for the Packers.
Is this where Thompson supporters tell us about the wonderful job he has done addressing the tight end position for the Packers?Ted Thompson bashersApparently he's supposed to fix the mess left by Sherman overnite.
What was he supposed to do go out and overpay for guys like Daniel Graham and Eric Johnson? Yeah they could've drafted Olsen but let's wait and see about Harrell before we criticize Thompson for that pick. I like the fact that Thompson has a plan and takes what they feel is the best player available. I like that approach much better than Sherman's philosophy of reaching for players at positions of need. Packer fans need to be patient. The Packers have a good young nucleus of players. Are they set at every position? Of course not but outside of the Patriots, Chargers and perhaps a couple of other teams who is?
Exactly.The Giants liked this guy enough to keep him around after he was seriously injured last year. He's been pretty good in camp this year. Hard-nosed runner who got a bit of goalline work with the first unit. Good hands out of the backfield, and good on special teams. It seems that giving up a 7th round pick for a guy that is game-ready, can spot start, play on 3rd downs, and play special teams is a pretty good value.But because the OP and the article writer never heard of the guy, he must be a waste.
I believe they gave up a 6th rounder and I can't believe that the Giants would have kept 5 RBs on the roster. Wouldn't they have a decent shot of getting him without giving up a pick?
Wow if your not joking your a worst then Thompson.
Right. I think we both tuned into the same preseason game with an eye on Ahmad Bradshaw and Grant looked very good. He is a tough runner. I would want him on my team. Very strong. He stayed ahead of Bradshaw on the depth chart through the preseason despite Bradshaw's solid play and hype. I couldn't tell you anything about Grant prior to that game, but few RBs impressed me more this preseason. As far as I can tell the Packers have made one of the more dramatic turnarounds in the league. A terrible defense is now very good. A depleted OL is rebuilt around quality tackles with solid youth. Two excellent young receivers have been brought in. I think the Packers give the Bears a run for that division... and just might take it. I wouldn't be critical of TT. Grant may be the best RB on that team, and I kind of like both Jackson and Morency.
The only option that would have been or still would be better then Grant ( Because there are actually no one on the WW that could help them right away " Dorsey beat by Keith - Pittman worthless aniways etc etc " )Trading for Mike Bell would be the only option where they could get someone to help them big time right away .

Packer fans (and maybe all fans) maintain this delusion that their team can trade like a fantasy roster. Just swap Favre and Driver for Romo and Ronnie Brown or something. 
or TT should have drafted LT when he had the chance. wtf?
was he supposed to fix every position all in the first season and make them 12-4 in the 2nd??Lee and Franks are plenty capable. he doesn't have a 3rd string TE. i don't quite think that's going to sabotage their future.Is this where Thompson supporters tell us about the wonderful job he has done addressing the tight end position for the Packers?Ted Thompson bashers
conditional 7th rounderit's like not giving up a pick at all because they'll get one or two of those back as FA compensation and probably in a subsequent draft day trade
people should read this post and really think about it.i mean really think about it. everyone hops on TT's #### cause he's not throwing huge money at older players with little to no upside. everyone wants the splashy signings and big name guys.you're watching a team that had ZERO depth and poor quality at many of the starting spots being completely revamped. it's not a one season turnaround process. unfortunately there are a LOT of fans who think it should be.

he was saying that anyone is better than Barlow . . .come on people . . .
Sherman may be less than steller, but I think 3/4 of Sherman's problems were directley related to Thompson. Outside of Washington and Tenn, Thompson has got to be the worst GM in football, maybe the worst and maybe the worst in the last two decades.Ted Thompson bashers
The whole Grant is better than Bradshaw smacks of sillyness, Bradshaw is in NY and Grant gets traded, think about the logic. And you like Jackson and Morency? Morency maybe but I'll post it for the 100th time, JACKSON SUCKS. Thompson is terrible. Fire his butt now and save a great franchise from turning into the proverbial doormat their going to be this season and for years to come. Caos remeber that pre-season depth charts mean nothing. YOu want an indication of who is going to make the roster, they are more likely to be the guys playing Less not More during the preseason. Not talking about starters talking about back ups and depth.
You're delusional. Seriously.
How could a team with the worst GM in football rebound from 4-12 to 8-8 in one season?Sherman may be less than steller, but I think 3/4 of Sherman's problems were directley related to Thompson. Outside of Washington and Tenn, Thompson has got to be the worst GM in football, maybe the worst and maybe the worst in the last two decades.Ted Thompson bashers
what????you do realize Sherman was GM of the team before TT got there right? do you remember Sherm trading 5th and 6th rd picks to the Chiefs for a THIRTY YEAR OLD, 3rd year player named R-Kal Truluck???????or how about drafting James Lee in the 3rd when he was a BACKUP d-tackle with no motor and no heart. maybe you forget he let go of Hunter Hillenmeyer who immediately became a starter for the Bears.perhaps you missed him drafting, in succession, Ahmad Carroll, Joey Thomas, Donnell Washington and trading up to get BJ Sander in the 3rd rd in 2004.during Sherm's tenure as GM there are exactly FOUR PLAYERS STILL ON THE ROSTER. FOUR.that is not the fault of Ted Thompson.all TT has done since he got here is turn the defense from laughingstock to one that people are talking about as having potential to be one of the NFL's best this year. he improved the depth across the board and jettisoned some of the crap that Sherm had been holding on to for years. people are nuts. jeebus.Sherman may be less than steller, but I think 3/4 of Sherman's problems were directley related to Thompson. Outside of Washington and Tenn, Thompson has got to be the worst GM in football, maybe the worst and maybe the worst in the last two decades.Ted Thompson bashers
did Bell get waived? if he's still on the Broncos roster you realize that TT can't just take him, right?
Why? Morency's coming back. Jackson's fine. The just traded for Grant, and Corey White's still around. So, explain to me why they'd trade for Mike Bell? This makes no sense at all.
why Bell though. what'd he do in Denver that was so impressive??
He has name recognition.
Mike Bell 157carries 677yards 4.3avg 48 long 8td's last seasonNot so bad . I dont buy the #### that you take off 1/2yd per carry cause they are with the Broncos , so that s better then anything on the WW or anything they could have drafted after A Peterson.
Not sure its a guaranteed pick. If he gets cut before Thursday it could negate the trade in which case the Packers are out nothing.
didn't he fumble a lot?if he were the answer in Denver they wouldn't have brought in Henry.
