Why the hell would anyone leave Seattle for Green Bay?
Will be interesting to see what kind of extension Ted Thompson winds up with. If it goes beyond 2016, I think it's safe to say that we have very little to worry about.

I wouldn't say "no way."
Obviously as long as Pete's here, we're winning and Schneider's relationship with Allen stays healthy he will stay. But John is only 42, and Pete's 62, so it's not far fetched to imagine a day when he might want to return to GB or take on a new professional challenge elsewhere once Pete retires..........or for some reason their relationship sours.
Could be 5 years from now, 10, 15, who knows.

Honestly can't think of one reason someone would want to live in GB Wisconsin over Seattle WA.
Sure GB is a nice tradition, but Seattle is the model franchise in football. Richest owner in the league, who is COMPLETELY HANDS OFF! allows you to do what you need. Also allows you to call the bat phone whenever you want if you need anything else.

Obviously if all things are equal with what I listed, Seattle is a better place. But for athletes, coaches and GM's what a city has to offer isn't as high on the list as other important factors.

John would live in Green Bay because he'd practically be a god to the Packers fanbase.

Schneider is under contract through 2016 season and we have the richest owner in sports. Not giving this a 2nd thought for a few years.

Thompson doesn't sound like he's ready to ride off into the sunset just yet.

All this talk about money..... If JS leaves or stays it won't be about money. Either franchise will give him all the money he needs or probably wants.
I think he stays here as long as Pete stays and Pete isn't really that old yet. I doubt he's ready to retire and go grow pumpkins with our Big Pumpkin just yet.

I think you misunderstood my point, or maybe I didn't make it properly. None of those bullets favor GB over Seattle.

Sorry dude, but that's false. Schneider already talked about money as a motivator, not saying he works entirely for money, but did say the size of Allen's offer played a large role in his decision to come to Seattle. As well as the quality of medical care for his son.
John Schneider has a son with autism. He and his wife have put a significant amount of money into Ben's Fund, as well as the cost of taking care of a child with autism.
John Schneider has talked publicly about this issue, as well as at an event for Ben's Fund which I attended. JS and his wife live a simple lifestyle, they are not extravagant. But they spend a great deal of money on their son's care and every million counts in that battle. If another team in a market with high quality medical care was to offer him an extra million per year, you can bet he will go.

How is the fact that John was born in WIsconsin and grew up a Packers fan not have an impact on his decision to take the GM job there if offered? The whole "Green Bay has nothing on Seattle" line is folly. Allen may not meddle much in the NFL business but he has churned his NBA GMs.
I am just thankful that John is here and helping to put together a solid franchise after years of turmoil. I know things don't last forever and I am not kidding myself into thinking he is here long term no matter what.
Does seem as though Thompson is going to be around a little longer than speculated. He still could retire after 2016, which would be when John's contract here ends.
