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).

    • It's definitely a historical issue at QB but to be perfectly blunt, we also don't do a good job of really developing almost any position if you look at the last decade or so. I tend to be on the side of that being far less a development issue than an evaluation deficiency.  I think we are in the situation at QB2/3 recently due to the overall roster being absolutely abhorrent and the QB classes being quite thin. It is harder to justify another Matt Corral(or several) when you can potentially get a real two deep contributor at other positions.  But, it was a lot of hard work to get to the point where are roster is so incredibly bad that luxury picks literally are not in our vocabulary.  This is the reaping what you sow portion of our history.
    • That is what I meant about our front office. They are like someone filling out a March Madness bracket based on preference of uniform colors and mascots. There's no rhyme of reason to some of these fugg'n mind numbing decisions they make.  They go all in on these flimsy-@ss prospects and are gun shy when it comes to more solid prospects.  It's literally maddening and the reason I stopped being so emotionally involved in this team. Heck the only reason I'm active on the board today is one, it's my day off and two, it's cut down time.
