He was the second best in the league over Rodgers era, most teams would not have asked him to resign.
Do I admire the Packers commitment to excellence? Yes, but Thompson was quite clearly a great GM. His tenure was like Polians in INDY, except Thompson teams had a bit more overall playoff success.

We had asked him to step down to a scouting position before that actually.

We? lol
"Late in the 2017 season, Mark Murphy and I had a conversation about my health and future with the Packers," he said. "At that time, we mutually agreed that it was in the best interests of myself and the organization to step away from my role as general manager. In consultation with team physician Dr. John Gray, I began a complete health evaluation that has included second opinions over the last year from the Medical College of Wisconsin, the Mayo Clinic and the UT Southwestern Medical Center.
Ted Thompson diagnosed with autonomic disorder
The former Packers GM revealed his diagnosis in a statement on Wednesday.

That diagnosis came after Gutekunst was the GM.
Thompson was politely asked to step down after the 2017 season, obviously they arent going to say it was because his last 5 drafts were lack luster lol.

I did. You clearly didnt. The diagnosis came AFTER he was already asked to step down lol.
Once again, we politely asked Thompson to step down after the 2017 season, and prior to his later diagnosis.

The diagnosis came after, but the illness came before. They thought it might be CTE at the time. My god you are an idiot.

That article never says that GB suspected he had CTE before his diagnose lol.
Lying and saying the article says something it doesnt say? Lol?
Thompson was asked to step down and take a scouting role due to performance, his diagnoses came later.
Sure, we asked him to resign nicely and cited his old age, but he was still demoted due to performance.

I was only counting the Rodgers era, but it's fine let's count TT's whole tenure.
That would put the Cheatriots and the Giants ahead over that timespan. So third best in the league, better then Brees team, Peyton's teams etc.

Steelers won two championships during TTs tenure and consistently made the playoffs.

Good catch, Thompson started in 05' not 06'. Though I point out GB made the playoffs more then the Steelers over that timespan. And the Steelers played the Squawks team Thompson built in that SB.
Still, that leaves then 4th best in the league over that time span, still better then Peyton and Brees teams.
If you get rid of Thompson southern Mississippi handicap, counting only the Rodgers era, then that's best in the league aside from the Cheatriots.

I’m sure we’ll get to the Bears soon...
Was Thompson at GB in 1985?

No, he is still had the us the 2nd best team in the league over the Rodgers era, which was my initial claim in the first place.
It was other posters who started broadening the time span.
