I try to look at what's happening clinically. I have to forget I'm a Packer fan because there's times I'd like to kick Rodgers in the arse, but there are more times I want to kick Murphy in the arse because he's failed for three years to correct the direction this team was heading. He watched as Thompson lost it. I believe he's a victim of too many concussions from his playing days, and I don't like seeing him being talked about like he was a piece of crap. He had some good years as GM, and it's the front office who failed to address the problems when they saw him slipping.
As for McCarthy, he should have been gone 3 years earlier as well. That's when he started picking out scapegoats to take the fall for everything that went wrong on the field. When that happens, the coach soon loses the respect of his players, because they know he doesn't have their backs.
Rodgers problem is that he too lost respect for McCarthy. Since they signed him to a big dollar contract, we better hope he finds a happy relationship with our new coaching staff, because if he hasn't, we're in big trouble. And yes. At this point in time, without him, we'd be a doormat.
What I'm anxious to see is how the draft plays out this spring. It's going to tell us a lot about what our new coaching staff believes is needed. Our biggest obstacle in getting where we need to go may be this 3-headed version of leadership answering to Murphy. It bothers me. It's just not decisions by committee in football.
