What Does McCarthy Have to Do Next Year to Get A Contract Extension?

[Smidgeon]

So you're saying that the misoverestimation was even worse than I thought?

My theory is M3 saw potential in Hundley but entrusted his development to the QB coach and the game plan to the OC. The results failed spectacularly, and both are now gone.

So yes. In a way. I think he had the potential but also had the wrong coaches.

Anybody expecting ANY QB to come close to doing the miracles that Rodgers routinely does with the mediocrity blocking for him and getting open for passes is gonna be sorely disappointed. I keep hearing that the Packers might or should pick up a new backup QB in the off-season. Come on! An immobile veteran would have done far worse than Hundley. I give McCarthy credit for knowing that even if some in here don't. What I blame him for is not preparing Hundley better and for being overly cautious in his play calling. Whether he entrusted too much to the QB coach or whoever and that is the reason, it's hard to say, but one of McCarthy's worst shortcomings is keeping certain talented players off the field too much for too long.

IMO McCarthy's worst shortcoming was hanging onto Capers too damn long.

IMO McCarthy's worst shortcoming was hanging onto Capers too damn long.

I think it was definitely, 'NOT having a clue'.
