Couldn't agree more on MM... that was an incredibly weak moment for him to throw that out especially given the circumstance. That is not a winner, there. Can you imagine Belichick saying that after losing a huge playoff game? He would be upset that they didn't get it done and go with his hair on fire trying to ensure it didn't happen again. Waiting for B to show up and cite a playoff lull for NE.
These ideas that I hate with agenda is really nothing more than me being who I am and disliking what I see from others. I study people. I wasn't a fan of either Ted Thompson or Mike McCarthy from the beginning. Not because I wanted to hate them ...but because I just didn't think highly of them ...that more applies to MM. Ted Thompson just doesn't have any aura to him at all. There's no presence. Hard to be inspired by him if not impossible. Mike McCarthy is fake tough. He's not bright and was running the worst O in football when we hired him. Plus, he preferred Alex Smith to Aaron Rodgers. Think on that...the guy running our team preferred Smith and was running that O at a 32nd ranked clip when we hired him. I will NEVER understand his hire...ever. A dumb inexplicable move. Let's run out and replace Mike McCarthy with Mike McCoy who just got fired from the Broncos putrid offense? No. We wouldn't do that...it would be...STUPID. Who would do such a thing but that is in effect what we did when we hired MM. How can you have trust in a GM who would be for that? Hard for me to respect either of them from the beginning. There's been nothing I've seen since that has been inspiring outside of taking 12 which, yes, I was ecstatic over. Absolutely out of my mind that we got him there. He was my favorite college QB, ever. I would watch him at Cal and think...man, we can never get this guy but man is he good...we'd forget all about Favre. Friends used to say I was crazy to say such things but years later told me I was right on about Aaron. So, I don't hate or love just because...there are reasons. Hate is a strong word but I just don't like Ted Thompson or MM. Not my kind of people...not folks I would ever want to work for. So, I blast them and hope they leave in hopes we get winners in place. That has never been a bad awful mean thing. I've had little patience with those who are org sycophants because I hate that to begin with and I don't like what's being hailed in Ted Thompson and MM. It's been awful for me as a fan to have to read the rah rah we're great...because I believe we could be so much more. We should be more.
Let's get some winners in TITLEtown. That's what we're about. TITLES not divisional or conference...SUPER BOWL. Bring those dead set on getting them not those that justify failure by banging the chest about how successful they are after they just got throttled. Those folks are not winners.
Still, I hope against hope somehow some way both Ted Thompson and Mike McCarthy are done after this year. Ted should be forced for health reasons and Mike McCarthy needs to be bought out, too. Start this over. Let's hear from 12...that question should be asked of him...how would you feel about signing an extension if Ted Thompson and Mike McCarthy were relieved of duties? That would be an extremely telling answer. A question that should've been asked by now, but our media is so sycophantic it wouldn't even dare dream of asking such a thing...it'd be way too "negative". Ha ha.
Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."
