Message: <blockquote data-quote="speakhands" data-source="post: 827764" data-attributes="member: 9759">My thoughts:(1) Mark Murphy got off WAY too easy in this article. It was on him to put pressure on the franchise from the top - starting in at least 2014, but certainly in 2015 when it became so obvious that the offense was, as I recall Mark Schlereth saying then (4 years ago!), basically *broken play on 3, break* Letting Thompson continue to sleep at the wheel, the roster continue to deteriorate, and the scheme continue to be stale is unacceptable.(2) McCarthy was clearly arrogant in his own right. Moving around position coaches from one position group to another instead of hiring new talent is absurdly stupid. Reminds me of corrupt foreign governments where cronies get moved from Interior to Transportation to Treasury to Energy without bringing any actual expertise to any of them. His apparent belief that he was an offensive mastermind is frankly kind of sad. I think most Packers fans knew he wasn't a great playcaller or game manager. I personally always thought his best traits were as a disciplinarian and team manager who would keep the squad in line and not let drama reach the news. (3) Greg Jennings has to be the biggest ****** bag in Packers history - even more than Finley. The fact that he was quoted so much really reflects poorly on the quality of the article.(4) It feels so good being vindicated about MM's offense being stale and predicted. Also really interesting to me (maybe you all knew this before) that Aaron drew up the Jared Cook play in the huddle and told Lane Taylor to pull for the roll out. (5) The thing about players feeling MM didn't hold players accountable was interesting, particularly in regard to Bostick (poor guy). What's funny is that the only real instance of that that stuck out to me was Brad Jones. Jones also had some blown plays in that game, such as on the fake field goal. And he should have been benched loooong before that. Same with Cobb/Adams in 2015: Abbrederis and Janis should have seen more playing time given how badly Cobb/Adams were playing. (6) The lack of position group leadership was kind of interesting. I think every Packers fan realized long ago that Rodgers isn't really the vocal leader Tom Brady-type. He wasn't during the Super Bowl run and he isn't now. That's not really his style. And that's okay. That's one reason why I was so disappointed we let Jordy go when he could have been a mentor and leader for both the WR and DB groups. (7) Man, if there wasn't friction between Rodgers and the second year receivers - MVS, EQ, and J'mon - there might be now. The **** about MVS saying Rodgers just doesn't like him? Come on, man.</blockquote>
