Stated he wanted Clay back at OLB ... honestly, what franchise does this? Fails to find ILB's and needs their best pass rusher to play there and keeps it that way for two seasons?

As close as Mike McCarthy will ever come to ripping someone publicly saying that Eddie has work to do and can't play at the weight he did last season while not doing what was necessary in the offseason. PFT used quite the inflammatory speculative headline for a rather innocuous comment or two.

Mikes end of year press conference. He covers a bunch of points and it is definitely worth watching.

I can't see Bill Parcells allowing his QB to act the way Aaron Rodgers did this season. MM's spine isn't even jelly...pureed jelly, maybe.

Still, to do any under the busing publicly isn't a good thing.

Heck, I can't think of a player on any level of football with worse body language than Aaron had this season. The eye rolls the disgusted looks ...the hand gestures, the self mumbling. Detestable behavior for any player much less the leader and reigning MVP.

Oh, and I was thinking the D word not P word.

I'm not apologizing for Aaron, however, even Mike McCarthy in his presser made it clear that Davante, RRodgers, and Eddie were let downs, Janis struggled to pick up concepts, and Jordy's absence limited their playbook. How pissed were we at most of them all year? Now we fault Aaron Rodgers because he's not blowing rainbows up their asses on the field?

I get it. He missed throws, was pouty, and not as encouraging. He also had legitimate reasons to be pouty, frustrated, and not trust many of his weapons.

I'm pissed it's taken 2 years to finally fucking admit this ILB situation is STUPID.

FIX IT.

Sure, he was frustrated you just can't do that kind of thing on the field when you're the leader and reigning MVP but he did and I lost a ton of respect for him. It's no secret what a fan of his I've been, but I can't validate him on his behavior. It was nothing short of pathetic and embarrassing. When you watch a game do you throw things around the room when the Packers are losing? If you do that's the fan equivalent of what Aaron did on the field. Just childish immature non grown man stuff.

Not sure I saw any encouragement out of him all season long on the field. Football is a game of emotion and he had no control over his at all this season. If he played LB he'd be Vontaze Burfict.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)

Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!

earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.

dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left

dhazer (29-Apr) : out of curiosity do they try and sign Simmons or Hyde to let these young safeties learn from, they can't be day 1 starters.
