I still believe the day that McCarthy lost Rodgers was the day the Packers watched Jordy Nelson sign with the Raiders. People can say anything they want, but they were joined at the hip in their journey as Packers.
People can argue this point any way they want, but Nelson was his safety net, who knew how to work back to the ball, and the guy that Rodgers trusted to be where he was supposed to be.
So, why didn't the Packers at least offer Nelson a minimum contract? You can rag on him being washed up, anything you want, but the reality was, they were separating Nelson and Rodgers to show that McCarthy was running the team, and that's the way it was. Some of us indicated that was the case when it happened, and said it would end up destroying the working relationship between Rodgers and McCarthy.
Guess what? It did. Disagree if you'd like, it doesn't matter. Some of us could see it from the start, and warned where it was going.
