COMMENTS BY MARK MURPHY

I like the move by Murphy. Not sure if adjusting the chain of command was necessary or wise.

I like the move by Murphy. Not sure if adjusting the chain of command was necessary or wise.

Any Issues (complaints) that Mike McCarthy might have now go directly to President and CEO Mark Murphy.

This allows The Packer GM Brian Gutekunst and Russ Ball to focus on their duties; and possibly NOT have to focus primarily on MM's Issues. Thus a buffer zone is (thereby) created. and Mark Murphy is then more aware of all possible political issues and on the Coaching Front.

Personally I'm skeptical based on my observations that MM is objective and/or competent in assessing talent at the Player or Coaching levels. He is clearly indecisive on one hand and 'out of touch 'and reality on the other. I aim that last comment based in how long it took him to dismiss Shawn Slocum and Dom Capers. I base that comment on some of the Coaches he released this Off Season and clearly feel those calls were questionable. ie:

A. ) Edgar Bennett – Offensive Coordinator !!! This is a Packer HOFER and has been a Packer Director of Player Development 2001 -04. He's had extensive experience as a Packer Coach including RB's and WR's (2005-14) and working hand in hand with MM as OC 2015-17.

Edgar Bennett was snapped up by Jon Gruden the New HC in Oakland and will be the Raiders WR's Coach.

Here's that Story:

Report: Raiders hire former Packers OC Edgar Bennett (13 Hours ago)

The Raiders just made a home run hire for their wide receivers coach.


B.) Mike Trgovac – Defensive Line Why was he dismissed !? (The DL is arguably the Packers BEST Position on the Packers Roster)

DT Kenny Clark (We saw a big improvement in Kenny Clark in the 2017 Season over his Rookie SEason)

C.) Scott McCurley – Assistant Linebackers (ILBers) ... Why was he dismissed?...He coached LB Black Martinez (Tied for 1st in Tackles for the entire NFL 96 T and 48 AT or 144 Total Tackles)

Blake Martinez:

Was this Guy really all that bad with 80 Tackles PLUS two SEasons in a row !? !?

LBer Jake Ryan:

Consider that players lost games due to injury like Clay Matthews ( 7.5 SACKS started 14 Games) and Nick Perry ( 7 SACKS Started 11 games) . Ahmad Brooks (1.5 SACKS missed 4 games and only started 5 games). Joe Thomas 0.5 SACKS missed 4 games and only started 1 Game.

The rest of the Packer LBers are RAW.

That the Packers let Julius Peppers WALK to Carolina, where he contributed 11 SACKS in the 2017 Season.

I'll rest my case there but there is more ...
