I've noticed that the heat is being turned up on TT more in the media these days than MM. For whatever reason the soft roster seems to be coming into focus more than MM and his staff. It's a legit point. Below is a comparison of impact players and their ages from the 2010 SB season compared to now. It's startling (players over 30 in bold).
2010
Offense
Aaron Rodgers - 26
Greg Jennings - 27
Jordy Nelson - 25
Chad Clifton - 34
Donald Driver - 35
James Jones - 26
Defense
Clay Matthews - 24
BJ Raji - 24
Cullen Jenkins - 29
Tramon Williams - 27
Nick Collins - 27
Charles Woodson - 34
Desmond Bishop - 26
Sam Shields - 22
2016
Offense
Aaron Rodgers - 32
Davante Adams - 23
Jordy Nelson - 31
David Bahktiari - 25
Randall Cobb - 26
Defense
Mike Daniels - 27
Clay Matthews - 30
Julius Peppers - 36
Nick Perry - 26
On offense the best players were well under 30, now there are fewer impact players and the best are both over 30. Look at the D! Years ago there were young, impact players at every level of the D. Now what is there? Im being generous including Perry here but the drop off to the rest of the D roster is just tremendous. No one else comes close to really impacting games, or having the talent to impact games.
I won't cry when MM goes, I think his system is stale and so is his message, but Ted has really let this roster fall off and that's on him and his scouts.
