You don’t have to like Mark Murphy or Brian Gutekunst, but the best word to describe them in this power-shifting season has simply been strong.
There may have been guys that you likely wanted the front office to get, but the one major knock on Ted Thompson was that he held on to guys too long.
Rest easy, because if this season is any indication, that isn’t about to happen with Murphy and Gutekunst.
They traded a player because he didn’t bring it on a consistent basis, traded another because he went rogue and fired a head coach because the team wasn’t responding after losing to the lowly Cardinals — who won in Green Bay for the first time since 1949.
