    Source: Packers hire Brian Gutekunst as new GM

    " The Houston Chronicle first reported Sunday that Gutekunst had taken the job. "

    The Houston Chronicle first reported ...?

    ? ... Why the Houston Chronicle?

    It woulda been all out stupid to give up a draft pick to get Schneider; If there's any truth to McCarthy and Rodgers campaigning against Ball, it woulda been dumb to choose him.

    Gutekunst starts out fresh. I HOPE he departs significantly from Ted's way of doing things, specifically his steadfast refusal to go after top quality free agents. The only negative about the guy IMO is that, not having been a GM before, we have to take it on faith that he will change policy that way.

    Hiring from within and hiring probably the least touted of the current people probably indicates a commitment to stay with McCarthy until he is ready to retire or if it became obvious to get rid of him. I'm ok with that - I'm not that fired up about McCarthy's way of doing things, but his hallmark is playing not to lose, which far more often than not, results in winning, even if the win is less spectacular than it might have been.

    So let's get used to Gutekunst - he probably will be the Packers GM for the next 20 or so years.
