We’ve surmised that Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy giving up play calling duties and handing them to assistant Tom Clements was really just a gesture. That in actuality, quarterback Aaron Rodgers would be running the offense this season.
Rodgers says no.
“I think everybody would want a starting point,” Rodgers said. “We all have moments where we have [called the plays], whether it’s a no-huddle situation or two-minute. Everybody wants a starting point. It’s tough to have to call every single play, so it’s always nice when you can have a good starting point and you can make a slight adjustment if you have to.
