I'll tell you one thing I really can't stand about Mike McCarthy...he is an excuse maker who is credited for being a straight forward no nonsense HC. Bull spittle. How many years in a row am I going to have to hear him cry about how the new labor rules have cut practices each and every year? He whines and complains all the time about how he's going to get his team ready with so few practices. The same rules apply to the other 31 teams but I don't recall reading constant articles from any of the other 31 coaches laying the excuse foundation before the season even begins. That kind of talk from MM is loser talk and has no business coming out his mouth but I'm glad it does as it paints a picture of a man who is full of excuses.
Can we get an HC who is able to deal with the new age practice rules and embrace them and make the best of them without laying a foundation to excuse slow starts?
Honestly, if you listen to both MM and Ted Thompson speak it is a wonder we are a regular season above .500 team. "Target"... "Frankly"..."Pad Level"..."Get that cleaned up"... "Like the guys we've got"... "It's just kinda how it worked out". C'mon, man!
Do any of you really, if you weren't Packers fans, get inspired by either of these guys by what they say? Leave out what you think or what they have accomplished and listen to them speak and the vibe they're giving off. I think it's deplorable.
If he can't "get it right" which is what he was quoted as saying he finally did this offseason bring in someone who can and will not make it a distraction or excuse.
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."
