If you read one football article today, I highly recommend “What Happened in Green Bay” by Bleacher Report’s Ty Dunne, an incredibly thorough analysis of how the Green Bay Packers have disappointed the lofty expectations of the Aaron Rodgers era and why the team finally imploded this past season.
Dunne interviews players, coaches, and front office folks that point the blame at Rodgers, former head coach Mike McCarthy, and former general manager Ted Thompson. Each shoulders some aspect of the blame, with Rodgers undermining the coaching staff, McCarthy removing himself from the players while still taking credit in public, and Thompson draining the team of talent and leadership.
