“We reached a very high level of success this year,” McCarthy said, via the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. “I would say our team clearly had a successful season, without a doubt. I don’t know why we’re even questioning that.”
I'll tell you why we're questioning that...you needed to win six straight to win the division after a 4-6 start which included four straight terrible losses. We're questioning that because if Aaron Rodgers doesn't enter his Zen/Michael Jordan/Justifiable Homicide level of play in those six games, you don't make the playoffs because your defense couldn't stop a third-grader from crossing a street. We're questioning that because you have had two Hall of Fame QB's in your tenure in Green Bay and have delivered only ONE Super Bowl appearance. We're questioning that because you have talent all over the place that underachieves year after year after year. And that's when they're not all hurt at the same time. And finally, we're questioning that because the only staff change seems to be Tom Clements, who has been successful in Green Bay. Dom Capers seems to still have a job despite a defense that can't do things that good defenses do (I ran out of pithy comparisons here. Sorry.).
Aaron Rodgers is right. This team needs to reload, not rebuild. But, if guys can't play, if the defense can't stop anybody, if Ted Thompson doesn't become a little more flexible toward the idea of free agency when filling needs, they are going to waste more prime quarterbacking and falling short of what Green Bay's yearly goal should be. The Super Bowl.
