What Happened in Green Bay

There had to be a breaking point. An incident, an argument, a loss, a moment that doomed the football marriage of Aaron Rodgers and Mike McCarthy...

The battle between Rodgers and McCarthy. These quotes stand out to me:

'McCarthy was that as the talent drained, he failed to innovate. His scheme went stale and he didn't adapt. As one personnel man puts it, McCarthy "got full off his own juice." He believed his system—not the Packers' absurd amount of talent—was the foundation for the offensive success '

'they basically ran the same routes for seven years straight, to the point where division rivals "constantly" called out plays pre-snap and jumped routes '

'Where were the route combinations? The motion? The misdirection? "It's like, 'Dude, you have to adjust! The league changes!'" the personnel man says. "You've got to be humble enough to follow it. If you can't adapt, you die. He definitely didn't adapt. You can't run 90 back-shoulders into coverage. I don't care who you are. Things got so stale."'

'A system that once seemed so unstoppable was rendered bland, archaic '

'McCarthy, on the other hand, seemed to be more and more checked out'

'McCarthy tried to take on more of a CEO-like approach with the team'

'[McCarthy] He tried to bill himself as this quarterback master... '

'one defensive starter who begins a conversation by praising McCarthy soon admits the culture he instilled created a soft team '

'That Seahawks game defined our team right there," he says. "We didn't have any finishers'

Green Bay’s biggest problem the last 5 years is, one they’re cheap. Two they didn’t draft well at all.

I'm with this. Life long Packers fan. I think Ted Thompson is just as to blame, if not more, as McCarthy. We have had some awful drafts the last half decade to the point we are going to miss the window on Rodgers. Ineffective roster building coupled with an ineffective scheme gives you this crap
 
Have to ask, is the GB situation a reference to the Dolphs or the Canes. Because that bullet point list to McC and his system looked a lot like last year under CMR. Just askin’

When I read the quotes it reminded me of CMR over the last 3 years. How many play by play guys during our games said something to the tune of

'Where were the route combinations? The motion? The misdirection?'

You could add Miami into that sentence and it was CMR and his offence. The quotes above really stood out to me as describing CMR's issues here at Miami and UGA. To be successful in his offense the team had to have 5* talent across the board.
 
Yep...the problem for UM was they had a great QB that didnt like the crappy plays that were being called. And that Miami has no weapons on offense. Thats what it was
