Ted E. Thompson: Super Genius
Despite the fact that his disastrous decision to let top-notch guards Mike Wahle and Marco Rivera walk away, he has compounded the illogical almost zany decision by attempting to replace them with the following nickel-and-dime retreads, has-beens, and never-weres: Adrian Klemm, Will Whitticker, Scott Wells, Grey Ruegamer, Matt O'Dwyer, Atlas Herrion, Daryn Colledge, Junius Coston, a scarecrow from a Green Bay corn field, the fake plastic tree from his lobby, and a pile of cushions from his basement couch.He's had TWO drafts and two seasons of free agency to address the situation, but somehow he's only found one non-NFL Europe caliber player, ...Jason Spitz.
So, what does Thompson do? Does he got out and make trade? Nope. That would mean giving up draft picks, and we all know he is sexually obsessed with late round draft picks.
No, his answer to the situation is to start Tony Moll.
He's a rookie.
Who played TE in college.
Who only transitioned to tackle in his last year.
And they want him to play guard.
Yes, Thompson is planning to start a guy who has only one season of experience on the offensive line in his entire life.
And they are starting him out of position.
Think the Bears, Vikings, and Lions defensive fronts might be salivating right about now?
We'll get a chance to see him on Saturday night. If he fails, Thompson says he might have to make a trade.
Hey, no hurry! Season's only 3 weeks away.
