It's also a shame, though, because early in his run with us, MM was a good leader of men. I distinctly remember it. I think "nobody's underdog" really resonated. I think the team building activities resonated. Obviously, his QB school really helped. He developed Rodgers and he transformed Favre's late-career. And he got the team together, united.

He's just... old. He just doesn't connect anymore. What they said about the Austin Powers stuff and "mojo" really resonated. From 1999. Poor Mike. Both the game AND the connections to the players have passed him by.

I mean he looked legit.

I didn't watch. I am just anticipating because, you know, Chicago.

Let me ask you this. If it were up to you and the offer was on the table would you trade Love, straight up, for Fields, right now?

Right now yea I would take Fields. We will see what happens after tonight. Fields decision making though today looked really good. Gotta see him against better pressure though still.

agree

I think McCarthy was a damn good HC, a better HC then a offensive cord or play caller, he also was given credit for revitalizing Rich Gannons career from Rich himself.

I think he got tunnel vision as a play caller, and although he would say we needed to run to set up the pass, he wouldn't stick with the run when it was doing better then the pass, he could be so aggravating at times.

we blamed that on Rodgers, and no doubt some of that is true, but even Rodgers said we need to have a better run to pass ratio a few years back, granted having a HOF QB is what led to our success, but McCarthy also helped, second winningest coach in Packer History, takes more then just Rodgers to accomplish that.

I must be getting desensitized to these deals. That doesn't even sound that bad.

I still remember Rod Tidwell's deal -- 4 for $12 million, I think. It was a bid deal back then.

Still not as big as Leon's league leading deal.

We have come a long way since the mid-80's a lot of us grew up in.

8 million for 35 years at 6% (the real average inflation rate over the last 35 years) is 61 million.

Not the point, I guess, but.... what? how do you figure that? That is nothing like any figure I've ever seen. And that's definitely in my wheelhouse.

we hit 5% inflation once in the last 30 years and 4% once in that time frame too, typically it bounces between 2 and 3%

I'am glad our country's inflation rate doesn't coralate to these player contracts
