I would love to quote Mike McCarthy before the 2015 season but it hasn't started yet. Hate misrepresenting. 2014 was all I could do and that isn't even mentioning, here, his comments at the combine about not being higher than anyone on the building than Jarrett Boykin.
Sending you a calendar. 😝

Yup...Boykin took that "next step" to "former Packer" a few months after saying this and much, much, more.

This comment of yours comes off like coach said (e.g. in March) the player took the next step and then few months later (e.g. July) was no longer a player. And the time frame being that of which the staff did not get additional exhibition games, 16 regular season games and also three post season games to further their evaluation of the player.
That's nearly 20 some games where the staff got to see the player in LIVE action to determine what further to do with the players future. The player elected to sign elsewhere to which he has a shot at more snaps than get shuffled down the WR depth chart of the Packers.
I dunno, I guess your comment just came off severely misleading and flippid to me. A few months means at least 8-12 games and what do we all say matters most? Real bullets in live action matter most so of course the decisions were made post the entire 2014 season.
Just for a time frame reference here.
August 2014: Coach says player took next step
March 2015: Player signed a one-year contract with different team
That's over a half-year and an entire NFL season so it's not like the coach is being loose with his words.
Yes, I trust Aaron Rodgers because he doesn't go out on a limb all the time and on the rare occasions he does, I endorse it. Sure, he's been wrong before, e.g. Ryan Braun, but we won't go there haha.
Additionally, I think Aaron gives endorsements with precision. Adams comes off like a player who lacks confidence and maybe Aaron is publicly singling him out to help him with his confidence?
