What do you think about that?

Aaron Rodgers has been extremely supportive of Tom Clements (his former position coach) in calling the plays. We have also witnessed a lot of little feuds between Rodgers and Mike McCarthy.
It's been reported that Rodgers was in a less than stellar mood most of the week and on Friday with an ounce of sarcasm said "what a week its been".

Jason Wilde is not making anything of it, but did note that he doesn't remember the last time he's seen the quarterback and his coach hug it out in the locker room.

Recently when asked about taking back play calling duties, McCarthy said "Frankly I need to shut up" which matches reports that McCarthy has had more influence on the plays being called.

Remember also McCarthy said several weeks ago that he feels "Rodgers is trying too hard" and Rodgers scoffed at that notion?

I think we have a rift (which I opined about a year or two ago as well - Ray Charles noticed too) between our Head Coach and Quarterback.


I'm moderately and cautiously optimistic on this change because I think Clements had only a few chapters of the playbook being used whereas McCarthy will utilize the full playbook.



Let's get it on!!

Hopefully it helps. Take control of the offense and make sure all of the players are doing as you intend.

I think it is time to realize MM is a great OC but not a good coach, we did everythinh backwards.
Tom Clements just failed he has no idea about how to run an NFL offense, he is just a rolodex of passing plays.

Certainly surprising; didn't think the coaching staff would make a big change like this midseason.

It's fine.
What is the reasoning behind this?
Did they "promote" Clements to something harmless?

I'd prefer Edgar Bennett, but we'll see how it goes.
Hopefully we'll go back to only having the customary TWO quarters of lull.
lol

So what does Clements do during the game now? He's listed as assistant head coach/offense. Perhaps he can take over QB coaching responsibilities so van Pelt can focus exclusively on the WRs?

Tom Clements has been promoted to vice president of passing play selection and his majesty Aaron Rodgers valet.

I think Mark Murphy may have dropped a few heavy hints that change is in the wind if the circus isn't corrected. I think it is a step in the right direction but let's see if the players respond. It has been ugly out there lately.

I'm sure that'll help Davante Adams catch the ball.
