Rodgers wants Jones back.
TILF or TITNF
At least 1 more year.

I want the old Rodgers back

I'd pass on Jones. He's decent but we need to let the kids sink or swim next year.

Yeah I could see a 4-3.
SteveLuke posted:(at least in the regular season). Long drive home after the Sunday game got me to thinking the following could/should not return:
1) Casey Hayward. Writing was on the wall when 1st and 2nd round picks were CBs in 2015 draft. Just a slot corner, but not a bad one. Hope Casey gets a nice contract elsewhere this offseason and nets us a 4th or 5th rounder. Too bad that, after his rookie year, he never played up to his 2nd round selection.
2) Nick Perry. Turns out Nick was correct, he was a bad fit as a 3-4 OLBer. Hope he too gets a decent contract elsewhere netting a 5th or 6th round compensatory pick.
3) James Starks. Had a very good run as a Packer for a 6th rounder. I always liked him. However, he is approaching 30, adds very little in the passing game, lacks top end speed, and, unfortunately, has turned into a fumbler. We need a better #2 in 2016. Good luck James.
4) Andrew Quarless. Still probably faster than Richard Rodgers, but the Packers need a true receiving threat at TE and that is not Q. After 2 knee surgeries, the off-field incident, and given that RR was a 3rd round pick last year, I think the writing is on the wall.
5) Don Barclay. Nice story, in 2013. He is terrible and needs to be replaced.
6) Scott Tolzien. Hundley was a draft pick and shows promise. Hope Scott nets us a compensatory pick as well.
7) Sean Richardson. Should retire.
8 & 9) Andy Mulumba, Lane Taylor. Who cares.
I think Neal & Crosby (who will also be free agents) will return, but if either of them left they are both replaceable.
It will be interesting to see what happens with Peppers. Any other candidates for last game at Lambeau??
Agree with all of these. Good call, Steve. Except I'd go further. I know this will have some people wetting their pants, but ... McCarthy said this was the best offensive line he's ever had. They sucked and Rodgers was running for his life more than Ben Gazzara! Sure, there were injuries. We should have capable enough backups to cover that.
And our needs at ILB? I didn't see much improvement. Mediocre, mediocre, even sub-par. We're also now reading stories about friction between McCarthy and Rodgers. And Rodgers' body language on the sidelines in several games said volumes. He looked depressed and consigned to failure.
Rodgers is too good to waste! 1 Super Bowl victory is not enough!
So ... I'm tired of hearing McCarthy say everything will be hunky dory and seeing no evidence of improvement! Yes, I'm saying McCarthy must go too!
For that matter, do scouts specialize by position? Whatever, but we need to have some scouts who can spot good ILB play, good OL play, and even good DL play (sure we've had some good DL players, but then we've had bums like Nick Perry and Mike Neal. Enough already!) Ted Thompson may be a genius at spotting some draft picks, but his record at ILB and DL have been pretty spotty.
I now retire to my bunker to awaiting your resounding chorus of "boo's" and even rounds of howitzer fire.
Oh, and you're probably wondering who could take McCarthy's place? I say Darrell Bevell! (Sp?) It robs Seattle of one of their greatest assets and puts him back in Wisconsin where he belongs! And if Thompson were to go too, I'd grab Reggie McKenzie as well!!!!
I'm with ya until the last paragraph.
If/when TT goes, it'll be Schneider or Wolf.

Didn't we have trouble with a veteran QB telling our GM who to keep or get before? Right in front of when the train left without him?
He didn't tell them to keep in. He said he would like him back. Big difference.
