Catching all the talk I can about NFL national talk shows, local, former coaches and players. These are my summations.
Rodgers:
Time to quit making excuses for him. Speaking on myself here. With eyes open and of course from how other QBs are playing and things said, it got me thinking.
Mark highlighted a play where AR missed an open player in the flat and threw incomplete down the field. Don't think it's a matter of going for the big yardage over a 5-10 yard one. His O Line has been porous, everyone outside of Adams has had the dropsies so there's that for excuses.
However, great QBs make average players look good and good players look great. Favre did this for years. Breed is doing it now as all 4 WRs are undrafted free agents.
Rodgers needs a reboot. Favre concentrated on one WR in beginning of his career and later would throw to 8 different ones in a game I remember. Rodgers is going opposite direction, as he's always looking for Adams. He needs to do like other greats and help these guys know where they are suppose to be and start building their confidence.
Was just critical on Rodgers and rightfully so as he does share some of the blame but we all know the real culprit here is McCarthy. As leader of this team and Offense it's job to give the players he does have a chance to be successful, to make adjustments, and adapt his system when it becomes stale and predictable.
Coaches like Reid, Payton, McVeigh and others have evolved and if they see something working they try it.
This isn't the dominant Lombardi era where he dared teams to stop the sweep. And even Lombardi didn't always run the ball. In McCarthy's case it's opposite as he stays with same plays and ignores his run game. League wise the amount of motion plays to slow down defenses is around 38% and has been going up over last 5 years.
McCarthy said last season's end he was going to revaluate his Offense and change things. To me don't see it. Defenses seem at times to know what is coming still. Just changing cadences doesn't do it or fool anyone. When announcers can tell whether it's a run or pass by where the TE ends up, so can a DC on watching film and having his players ready.
It's my opinion that McCarthy has turned into Sherman 2.0 and regardless how the season ends, needs to go. He has seemed to be too stubborn in his ways and play calling. The rift and losing respect of his QB and not holding him accountable is his job. Players not being ready to play when he first got here said his asst coaches were also good coaches and clearly aren't when players stepping in aren't ready and players cut because they were deemed not good enough are starters and back ups on other teams.
When the negatives out weigh the positives the it's time to make the change
