I completely agree. Arodge was a disaster when he first came out. However, our GM was very shrewd in his selection of his new Head Coach. I've said this for years: If the 49ers would have been able to hold onto Mike McCarthy as their OC, Alex Smith would be as good as Arodge is now. But Uncle Ted knew what he needed to do, and did it.
THANKS TED THOMPSON!

It helps a great deal to be on a team coached by MM, but the talent is inherent in Rodgers. You can't take a guy who isn't accurate and make him an accurate QB. You can do some minor improvement, but you can't change the Character of a QB.
Smith has only been successful when they limit his downfield throws. He just doesn't have the accuracy. MM couldn't make him accurate no matter how much time he spent with him. MM could probably help him with his command of the game, reads, anticipation, adjustments etc. But he can't take a guy without accuracy and give it to him.
I think Rodgers is better with MM, but I don't think that it is all McCarthey.
I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.
Not screaming in terror like his passengers.
