PACKERS NEED TO WEIGH RISK/REWARD WITH MCCARTHY

^^^ The most interesting speculation is that the GM is forcing Stubby's play-calling hand by removing chess pieces. If that's true, and it seems kinda likely, Stubby is already gone.

I would normally agree with the latter, except that great coaches aren't born on trees. They are created through some struggles and experience. Sometimes they need a correction. And the only two people with the authority to do it are the GM or owner. In practice its a bad idea because those two aren't coaches, but the Steelers have shown it can work. Head coaches don't just appear on the sideline ready, someone has to help train and correct them.

But it could be a terrible precedent if they interfere too much. Its a concern. With McCarthy and his years of experience, I think its likelier they just start fresh.

As to the former, I think McCarthy was already slowly moving to Jones oddly enough. Makes the trade all the more interesting.

Possible the likeliest explanations that Gutey is simply reloading, regardless of coach. Get rid of weight that causes problems rather than hoping for improvement and try someone else out. Normally talk about rebuilding the tail end of the roster seems like GM speak. But maybe he seems a need to improve talent there.

.. Gutey is simply reloading, regardless of coach....

That's what I think. And Stubby as well as all the players except Rodgers are being interviewed by the Bobs for their own jobs.

I found a breakdown on our issues on another forum that I think is pretty revealing.

"Make things easy." If only I'd thought of that.

I put it at 70/30 that McCarthy is still coaching the Packers next season. Things just aren't as bad as some in here fantasize.

Pretty good one, Pug,

That wasn't anything we don't know, but a solid summary of things we are all trying to forget.

That quarters defense he called out and the MILES route attacking it was a good example of the basic scheme working and Rodgers just not trusting what he sees to make the best throw. He's waiting for Davante to break open.

I think one thing we tend to forget about this year is that the young receivers are causing confusion for the QB as well as the other way around.

Well, PB, I do think Ted slipped in the second half of his career as GM, but I will say that if Josh Jones becomes the next Nick Collins (slim chance, but he played okay on Sunday), his stock goes way back up, what with drafting Aaron Jones in the fifth and Kenny Clark looking better each day.

if only Monstrosity Adams would get a few sacks and some more playing time.

Perhaps I should send this to Stubby?

If it wouldn't be too much trouble.

When I first read yer post, I thought it said "send it to my hubby".
