It’s Jerry Kramer you guys, sheesh.

And he’s right (let’s go Idaho!) – if this season doesn’t go well, Ted’s in big trouble.

“Mason Crosby, Johnny Jolly, Will Blackmon” You’re joking right?
The 2 receivers are good, but they’re not studs by any means. If they were so good, why did he waste the first pick on yet another receiver? What a briliant move that was! Other than those two he has drafted nothing but roster filler. They have an average roster and they’ll finish at an average .500 or worse.

At the last press conference before the trade. Kremmer’s suggestion is that Thompson was trying to get this to happen all along. That’s his opinion and I’d think you have to admit his inside connections are certainly better than ours.

Apparently Mike McCarthy also didn’t want to deal with the inconsistencies – he’s the one who said Favre’s mindset wasn’t what it needed to be to play with the Packers.

Jerry Kremmer ” Packer Hall of Fame” (via WSSP Milwaukee)

“This is a black day in Packer History. He knew at the Retirement Announcement Favre would want to come back.

McCarthy was only the messenger. It is obvious to him that Thonpson was driving the issue. Wanted him gone because he didn’t want to deal with Favre and his inconsistencies anymore.

Thompson’s gamble — if he wins everything is forgotten. If he loses, he will be on the train out of town and I’ll drive it.”

His name is Brian Brohm, not Ryan Brohm. And the Packer’s drafts have been far from mediocre. James Jones, Greg Jennings, Mason Crosby, Johnny Jolly, Will Blackmon have all had serious contributions to the team. And draft picks need time. We still don’t know how Brandon Jackson is going to turn out, or this years current draft picks. But if you want to see mediocre drafts look at the Vikings. Aside from Adrian Peterson they get okay guys but never great.

I forgot to mention, if Aaron is still in GB he’ll come down with a hang nail and miss 5 games. Every bit of bad karma is going to park in the parking lot outside of Lambeau and and tailgate until Thompson leaves, and probably for a while after that. Here comes the pain

By 2009 they will be 4-12. They’ll have another mediocre draft, followed by signing nobody in the free agent market, some players will flee, and Aaron will leave… so begins the Ryan Brohm era. What free agent in their right mind will sign with Green Bay after the way they shafted Favre? Either someone really crappy, or strictly someone in it for the $$$. 4-12 here we come!

I don’t think anyone feels bad for him or worries about his feelings but the constant blame on him is excessive. As is predicting that we’re heading back to 4-12 just because Favre isn’t here. After all, we were 4-12 with Favre and if he was solely responsible for the 14-4 season then we could have just as easily been facing a 4-12 year again.

I just want that ego driven moron to get the heck out of town, and take the weisel names Ari with him
