What do you think about that?

Aaron Rodgers has been extremely supportive of Tom Clements (his former position coach) in calling the plays. We have also witnessed a lot of little feuds between Rodgers and Mike McCarthy. It's been reported that Rodgers was in a less than stellar mood most of the week and on Friday with an ounce of sarcasm said "what a week its been".

Jason Wilde is not making anything of it, but did note that he doesn't remember the last time he's seen the quarterback and his coach hug it out in the locker room.

Recently when asked about taking back play calling duties, McCarthy said "Frankly I need to shut up" which matches reports that McCarthy has had more influence on the plays being called.

Remember also McCarthy said several weeks ago that he feels "Rodgers is trying too hard" and Rodgers scoffed at that notion?

I think we have a rift (which I opined about a year or two ago as well - Ray Charles noticed too) between our Head Coach and Quarterback.


I'm moderately and cautiously optimistic on this change because I think Clements had only a few chapters of the playbook being used whereas McCarthy will utilize the full playbook.


Let's get it on!!

Hopefully it helps. Take control of the offense and make sure all of the players are doing as you intend.

I think it is time to realize MM is a great OC but not a good coach, we did everythinh backwards.
Tom Clements just failed he has no idea about how to run an NFL offense, he is just a rolodex of passing plays.

Certainly surprising; didn't think the coaching staff would make a big change like this midseason.

It's fine. What is the reasoning behind this? Did they "promote" Clements to something harmless?

I'd prefer Edgar Bennett, but we'll see how it goes. Hopefully we'll go back to only having the customary TWO quarters of lull. lol

So what does Clements do during the game now? He's listed as assistant head coach/offense . Perhaps he can take over QB coaching responsibilities so van Pelt can focus exclusively on the WRs?

Tom Clements has been promoted to vice president of passing play selection and his majesty Aaron Rodgers valet.

I think Mark Murphy may have dropped a few heavy hints that change is in the wind if the circus isn't corrected. I think it is a step in the right direction but let's see if the players respond. It has been ugly out there lately.

I'm sure that'll help Davante Adams catch the ball.

wpr (8h) : 7 days
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep
dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire
dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.
dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move
dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately
Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.
dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb
wpr (9-Apr) : yay
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland
Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'
Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you
Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.
