2013 we had Jordy, Cobb JJ in their prime, a healthy and young eddie lacy/starks..this year? well we have Jordy, cobb and another guy who is slightly better than jones but runs just as fast(Adams, I wouldn't pay any of these guys 10m a year without Rodgers throwing the ball, even with, excepts for Jordy, hes legit) how do you justify a guy like adams who has never had a 1000 yard season and has an already pretty low yards per catch average, giving this guy more money to do a job Donald driver did way better than him as a 4th string when we were peaking our tits off with talent at nearly every position.
The oline was also in their prime, best guard tandem in the nfl and better than good tackles.
I cant even finish this cos it would take forver to give a position by position breakdown, but w had players in their prime who were close to elite at a lot of positions, and a lot fo them are still here but not great players anymore, and that's on the GM.
We need an elite receiver, tight end, outside linbacker and corner, and I think we need a new guy drafting those players cos honestly teds philosophy has bought us a championship but Ive seen the NFL change quite a bit over the last 10 years since hes started and I feel like hes been doin the same thing he was 10 years ago, which worked in that version of the NFL but doesn't quite work in this one, so hes gone from top 5 GM to middle of the road, and it really reflects on his picks.
Its like getting a new girlfriend, you wanna impress the shit out of her, and that's what we need in a new GM.
Really an injury like we had with Rodgers, really exposes a lot and says a lot about the guys we have in the building.
And Mr McCarthy, youre not off the hook, how do you not cut a guy like Hundley after you clearly know within one year what type of player you have? I don't care how hard he works and how competitive he is, those are great qualities you have in a player that's actually ready to grow into something, not a guy who looks like he has no idea how to play.
I mean cmon, Case Keenum is getting 2m a year and he looks like he knows how to throw a pass, cos hes been doin it for 20+ years, when I see Hundley I feel like I'm looking at a foreign exchange student whose trying to figure out how to throw it and life and the defense and all the other circumstances of the situation are getting to him. Cmon bro this is your sport that you chose to play, wheres your head at, youre getting pushed around son.
Love McCarthy but when we lose our best player and then you say you got 3 years invested in a guy, cut the fucking chord if you know he sucks, and continue your search..we coulda known he sucked years ago
Ted, you gotta go bro, thank you for your service to GB, we need young blood and fresh minds and ideas to move this thing forward, and I think that guy we just gave a raise to 17 times to keep him here is ready to take your spot, I think his last name is wolf
