I can't believe I read an entire two pages of reasons to trade Aaron Rodgers. Kudos to the one guy (voiceofreason) debating it but really, it is a waste of time.
Do any of you watch other teams around the league with consistently bad quarterback play season after season?
Let's just trade a future HoF quarterback for a 4th round pick...holy 🤬.
Mike McCarthy gets up at the podium and has the same excuses after losing. He is supposed to be an offensive genius, yet week after week we see the same flaws in his game plans. Where is the McCarthy that had a ridiculous game plan against NE in '14?
- No help on pass protection for struggling tackles. This was one huge issue that McCarthy had ignored for a majority of the game. The Packers were playing with two back up tackles and were getting manhandled.
- Consistently predictable play calling. 3rd and 1? Shotgun or pistol formation toss or outside run with a bruiser RB. For once, they actually converted. Now that is was successful once out of 99 times, it will continue to be called in the same scenario.
- Refusal to change the game plan. With the Packers offensive line being as terrible as it was and giving Rodgers zero time to drop back and read the defense, MM continues to call the same 10-15 yard routes mind you, against a pretty damn good secondary. Very little screens or short pass plays called against a defense that blitzed A LOT yesterday. When a screen play was called, it was a positive outcome AND scored a touchdown.
I can't even begin to jump on the fire McCarthy bandwagon. Packers fans seem pretty quick to jump to the conclusion of firing someone and hey, you do you. Everyone is entitled to their opinion (unless you want to trade Rodgers for a 4th round pick. Go play Madden).
While I think the "we are a 10 win team" and other cliche responses from McCarthy are redundant, annoying and sometimes unsettling, who the hell would you replace McCarthy with? What coaching candidates are out there RIGHT NOW that you would put in place of McCarthy?
I am frustrated with McCarthy, no doubt. But without some sort of idea as to who his successor would be and if that person would make this team
that much better, I don't want to see the team fire a coach that has a consistent winning record and has made the playoffs 7 years in a row. Some fans would die to see even a sliver of that success.
And before anyone says it, I get it...this is the Packers...blah, blah, blah, we should be Super Bowl Champions every year blah, blah, blah.
