He better be ready to admit one of those mistakes after Sunday and get Seneca Wallace off his roster. The guy's in over his head...
Well, I'll hold judgment until the end of the game tomorrow. However, I sure do hope that you are wrong.
Go PACK!!!!
Classic TT explanation of Jennings departure...
A. Just to continue to evolve, continue to do our job, and a lot of that is on the contract side and on the salary cap side. But it's way more than that. It's making sure you make the right decisions on people, and sometimes, people change. Sometimes, it's better for someone to go somewhere else. It doesn't make them a bad guy. It doesn't necessarily make us a bad guy. But you have to make those hard decisions. That's the hardest part, is when you have a player that has played for you and has done a good job for you, but for whatever reason, you think it's time to part ways. That's like telling a family member goodbye.

We shall see.
I think that's the most TT has ever said about his thought process. Thank you for posting!
My take from reading the article is that we're damn lucky to have this guy
He doesn't take himself too seriously, but he's got a plan and it works and he could really care about what "we" think. That's the beauty of TT and why he and the Packers have been so successful
Usually guys that get to where he's been take on an attitude or have a big ego but that's not Thompson. Heck, there are times when I think he's just ****ing with the media types because he can and that's hilarious as well
TT: But quite frankly, you never think about your better players ever getting hurt. If you think that way, you might jinx it. It might happen. Literally, you don't think about it. It's a place where you never tread.
Q. Do you believe in jinxes?
TT: No. But you still never tread. You just don't like to say it.
I'm sure that caused a few more angry tweets to Bob Mcginn.
It's one thing for McGinn to jinx Rodgers, but if the Packers don't go at least 11-6 now, he's screwed.
Lots of good stuff in that interview, definitely recommend reading it.
TT, at 60, still hitting the road and scouting every week to find that hidden gem is a good thing. Also, liked his answer to the Bert fiasco, again took the high road.

If he stinks up the place I'm sure there will be vigorous scrutiny from both the fans and the media. Conversely, if he plays reasonably well I hope some will be willing to admit to making a knee-jerk assessment based on how he performed off the bench against the Bears.
"If something went wrong at the backup quarterback position, it's my fault. It's not somebody else's fault. It's not even one of those quarterbacks' fault. I just didn't get it worked out right."
I wonder if TT knows that he is a whiny, piss pants, anti-Packer bed-wetter for questioning himself?
It means he's accountable for making mistakes. Respectable trait to have.
Prove us rong today Senoodlecaya arm
Thompson should be fired. Along with Capers. Bad personnel decisions
It's not about firing anyone. You defer to the expert. But you wonder about whether the ego will admit the mistake. Wallace can't play. We can all see that. Tolzien isn't a star- but he can make the throws and read a D, and he showed that today. Tolzien acquitted himself enough today to prove he's the better option.
