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.

Wish he'd stand up to Aaron that way.

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.

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.
