If you haven’t seen, ESPN.com lets fans vote on the job their coach is doing. Mike McCarthy received a 32% approval rating for week 5. Not good, but well deserved. The bad thing, is the logic many fans and reporters are using for the poor performance of the Packers. Whenever I read articles about the team, the “F” word always comes up. So many people seem to think that Brett would do a better job run blocking. They feel he would stuff the middle of the line on defense or get penetration on the end. Apparently Favre would do a far better job covering the tight end or stopping a running back from turning the corner. Favre would also be able to punt more consistently and get flagged less often for holding.
Blame Mike for not putting a well prepared team on the field. Blame Thompson for not filling the roster with quality depth on both lines. Don’t expect that Favre would fix any of the problems we are seeing right now.
