That whole time we heard from Rodgers is being held back by McCarthy. Soon after he is fired, they are back in the NFC championship with a coach with no real experience. I don't pretend to know the ins and outs of their break up but the fact is, they are back to the top of the NFC right after he left.
And I was a big fan of the hire fyi.
It's a legitimate point and you're not the only one it occured to, I had the same thought.
GB misses playoffs twice in 3 years (yes, I know Rodgers was hurt for a portion of 2017). But A Rod was there for all of 2018. Completed over 63% of his passes, for about 4500 yards, and only threw 2 INT all year. That's it. 2 INT. Yet GB went 6-9-1. Something was wrong there and it didn't appear to be Rodgers.
McCarthy Fired, 13-3 and 1 game away from the Super Bowl.
Optically, it doesn't look good......
