Rodgers versus McCarthy: Who Ya Got?

[Anti-Polar Bear]

The White Lightning (Billy S) didn’t play for the Packers in 2005. James Jones’ brutha Jamel did, though, along with Sackrell’s clone, Brady Poppinga.

My archenemy the Kentucky can confirm the aforementioned facts.

I think the personnel is generally poorer than a lot of people want to admit.

This is true. This isn't even the equivalent WR corp to Nelson, Jones and Cobb in his younger days.

Still no functional TE attack.

And the O line is poor at pass blocking, especially at Guard.

TT had great success drafting WR's in Round 2 and OL in Round 4-5, but then got away from it. Whether that was just the way the draft board fell, or an attempt to shore up the defense, the effects are now being felt.

This is very true. TT continued to draft WRs and OL but it was round 5-7. There is usually a difference, maybe more red marks, against talent in the 6th round compared to the 2nd round. Same as the difference between 4th and 7th round talent. It was like he recognized the need for these positions, but had other, more pressing needs. Besides Adams, we suffer from not having any receivers on the team with that speed, moves, hands, and smarts combination or...they’re too young to have developed it. He drafted Spriggs in the 2nd but that really looks like a miss. Any 3 year or younger player is a free agent and appears to be a JAG or worse.

On the OL.

When was the last time you watched the Packers offense and said "Wow, what a well schemed play that was. It was so innovative "? Sorry, I can't think of any in the last 6+ years. In the NFL, you either change things up to keep pace, or you become irrelevant. The Packers are the latter right now. Stale, stale offense.

Rodgers is to blame but they aren't getting rid of Rodgers.

Ten vote for Rodgers, this isn't a prediction thread. Tell us what you think.

Been the most fun on this site since (outside Super Bowl run) Favre showed up on the tarmac during a practice.

I think the biggest failing was the focus on defense.

Looking back now, Ted should have gone BPA rather than D need and spent that player acquisition energy on FAs.

Arod is not playing very well...it's not just OL play or rook WRs either, the guy is bouncing balls in the flat for fucks sake. That said the M3 era has run it's course. He's had Arod in his prime with stellar talent and failed over and over.

prime? yes but he's been trending down. stellar talent? ok but they've been trending down for some time too. plenty of blame to go around. 2015 to present the Packers are 31-27-1. that indicates an abundance of suck that goes from the gm(s) down.

Check out the graphics from the last game regarding where the ball is thrown. Does GB fear the two safeties of Minnesota this much?

I've been surprised all year they haven't targeted the TE's over the middle more. Not just Graham but Lewis too. Lewis has been targeted 4 times all year. He's probably pissed. Probably wouldn't have come here if he's known this would happen.

almost nothing in the middle...where the underneath stuff is...where te's, rb's, and slot guys should be making their living, where the ball doesn't have to be held for 3+ seconds, where wow-type throws aren't needed, where 3rd and 5 should be near automatic. ridiculous. smh

Rodgers isn't playing up to his usual standards this year but he isn't the only one to blame for this mess.

As a parallel, look back at the 1999 season. Bret Favre injured his thumb in pre-season and it bothered him all season. There were games that were lost because Favre missed the open receiver because the injury impacted the throw. After the 8-8 finished, Rhodes was canned. Does anyone think this was the wrong decision, even though they probably would have made the playoffs if Favre wasn't hurting?
