deathstar Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Gut punch. I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that this organization started to lose its way after Wolf retired. I will always be thankful for what Thompson did for us. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kepler Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Really sad news. Condolences to his family. Seemed like a genuinely good guy and I'm glad he got a ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacman5252 Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Damn kind of a buzz kill. His first 6 drafts were awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toddfather Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 (edited) Brought so much to this organization. Always stayed consistent, even at times we as a fan base thought he should do more. So sad to know how sick he got so fast. From all accounts a great man, and I'm so proud it's people like him who have run our franchise. RIP TT. I hope this brings some fire to the boys on the team he picked. Lets get one for Teddy! Edited January 21, 2021 by Toddfather 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a scout or involved with the team in some form I'm pretty sure in 1996, so he should have two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Penske Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Wilde is an emotional dude but that’s hard to hear from someone who got to have that conversation with Ted in person that the Packers were his life. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sasquatch Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 This hits hard, right in the center of my stomach. I grew to appreciate Ted even more after he left, which may seem strange, but hearing this news today feels like we collectively missed an opportunity to let him know how deeply appreciative we all are for his love and exceptional care of our beloved organization. Damn man. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s like what Wilde said. It’s sad to think that any GB fans would have any bad or terrible thing to say or think about Ted... But to his point, no one really knew him in the fan base. For most he was the GM that was wasting the hall of fame QB HE got us because he was so stubborn to his draft and develop philosophy. Fact is I think looking back on his tenure... I don’t know many rational fans that would not say he was a massive success and if this was his life’s work, he will be remembered for it because he did a heck of a job.

thrILL! Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 He had a tough act to follow in Ron Wolf but boy did he come through in the clutch. RIP White Wizard! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
