After explaining why Ted Thompson does what he does in free agency last week, we're giving the opposing viewpoint an opportunity to present its case.
Ted Thompson took over the general manager position for the Green Bay Packers from Mike Sherman in early 2005. Since then, he has helped lead the Packers to eight playoff appearances, five NFC North division titles, one NFC Championship, and of course, one Super Bowl victory. This article's purpose is not to say that Ted Thompson is a bad general manager by any means. In fact, he has shown to have a great eye for talent and has helped construct a roster year after year that has had the potential to be a Super Bowl contender.
