Packers GM: "Analysts are clueless"


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

Ted Thompson talking about draft coverage (MMQB)

"There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great. But quite frankly, most of the people that are commenting on it don't know anything about what they are talking about.''

Peter King adds a bit of a jab back at Thompson in the quote attribution.

-- Green Bay GM Ted Thompson, who has a right to say what he wants about the Mayock/Kiper/McShay set because he just won the Super Bowl. But have a couple of bad drafts, or pick a couple more Justin Harrells and Brian Brohms, and you might hear the geniuses come out of the woodwork on Thompson.

This goes back to a point I made in a post talking about how to watch draft coverage a little while back. Specifically, that NFL GMs and personnel people really don't care what media and draft experts think.

But do you think they should or is Thompson right? And was King right to be a little snippy here?

bye bye lucy....anyway every year execs say the analysts dont know poo and every year the analysts are kinda right on somethings and not really as bad as the execs say the are. is it all blind luck?

kinda right?

everyone on the huddle is "kinda right" at one point or another with their opinions.

so what's the one difference between an "analyst" and a fan?

several million dollars.

what's the one thing they both have in common.

they get ignored by GMs.

King is "kinda right" too though.

If we're being fair, how many GMs have totally blown picks that analysts predicted ahead of time they shouldn't make?

It works both ways. Sometimes there right other times not so much (see NFL vs Kiper on Clausen).

    • Start with Bryce, this is like his rookie year. The 1st 2 games proved her was wired wrong and it looks like (we hope) he needed a time out to reset and be the player that was drafted. He's still about a year or more away from being a top 15 QB, if the Panther give him another playmaker or 2 (a top WR and a decent TE) and maintain that line. Canales deserves credit as playing that card correctly to motivate (or refocus) his QB for one last shot to decide his and the Panthers immediate future. As a Panther fans we should hope he keeps improving as we invested so much to get him. CJ Stroud will never have a season like he had, even if he stays a top 10 QB. He's got great character so I'm rooting for Bryce to continue on his positive journey. Canales is playing the week to week thing with bryce perfectly. Nothings guaranteed, earn it weekly which builds consistency and consistency is greatness.  Keep the O-line. They've got to extend Brady C, along with Mayes that have a real good 7. Great job Morgan starting with the big guys upfront.  I really hope they draft a DE or OLB in the 1st round. Getting Brown back with A Robinson and what DJ has shown that we can have a decent D-line. Need a CB in the early rounds/ or a time FA to go with Horn.  The future as to next year being good enough to challenge for the division is within reach. Just show progress (win or lose) every week. Kudos to Dan Morgan. Plays GM like a LB. Tackle the problem and move on, don't just hope it works out. Find guys with your playing mentality and work closely with your HC to share a vision. Teamwork starts at the top and flows down.
