Hard to consider them scape goats when they didn't really do a good job. Seems like deserved firings just like slocum last year who people kept calling a scape goat. They didn't get fired because someone just needed to be fired they got fired because they sucked

None of those "potential" guys at TE have ever really emerged and in fact, Quarless has never really lived up to his potential.

RBs havent either, in fact, Lacy underwhelmed this year. They might have something in Crockett, though.

EDIT: Wilde is saying that back during his radio show with Aaron, Rodgers one tabbed Fotenot as the assistant who would make the best Head Coach one day but we have to remember he thought DuJuan Harris was "special" and Davante Adams was going to be "a star in this league".

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."

Rodgers has come along decent. His 2nd year is actually not far behind where Finley was after his 2nd year and that being without having Jennings, Driver, Jones and Nelson to soften the secondary up for him like Finely had.

RB are fine with the exception of Lacy eating problem. The issue with the run game is piss pour run blocking.

I would really like to see what Dom Capers can do with this secondary if provided an inside linebacker that is at least average-to-good. Maybe that's Sam Barrington?

I'm not sure who they bring on for Running Back or Tight End, but I'm thinking Wide Receiver gets split off and Luke Getsy will be their coach. He's had previous coaching experience of wide receivers in college.

Ideally, I want Edgar Bennett coaching the wide receivers again. It's not a stretch for him to keep his current offensive coordinator title and coach a position. Several teams (so I've heard) have this schema already. Bennett was exceptional at ball control fundamentals and the team did better with YAC and drops when coached receivers.
