So you are telling me that McCarthy in no way had an impact on Aaron Rodgers getting to where he got to once Favre left?

Rodgers drafted in 05. McCarthy becomes head coach in 06. Rodgers became the starter in 08 with the departure of Favre. Before being a head coach, McCarthy was a QB couch from 95-2000. Yup, no correlation at all and Rodgers did it all on his own.

Nope, not saying that at all. You saying he is a 'great' coach is where you're wrong.

State Farm loving their choices for celebrity endorsers (although Aaron Rogers is now strangely absent!?)

Not all 35 are great if great is to mean anything. . .

Andy Reid already has a place among the elite in his profession, and a win Sunday puts him in rare air.

If there is one thing Big Mac does deserve credit for, this is it.

That and his ingenious strategy of throwing deep on every third-and-1

McCarthy's legacy isn't that bad, he is simply the latest headstone in Jones's yes men's graveyard...

Hypothetical:

Lets say Reid is fired today. Do you think the Vegas odds for the Chiefs winning the Super Bowl will go up or down?

How about a coach that hasn't proven himself in the playoffs like Sean McDermott?

Answer: They will go down.

Hah! A good process to evaluate coach value.

$$$ speaks and Vegas, et al, are not in the business to lose $.

They are in business to balance bets on both sides and make $$$$ on the Vig.

So, McCarthy is a "great" qb coach. I guess based on Arron Rogers' assent to stardom. They were known for always being on the same page during their time together in Green Bay...oh, I guess not.

So, if he is great qb coach, explain why Dak is bad, and Trey Lance is so bad, he can't get on the field.

The grunts who do the heavy lifting and their position coaches...and owners who let hem do their jobs, that's the difference. Of course having an athletic wizard like Mahomes helps. Hell I've seen Rodgers beat my Boyz on one leg and Dak is not that bad when he has time and receiver separation.

That reminds me of a story I heard from Carson Palmer, I think. He was with the Cardinals and during a scrimmage, he declined to pass to a certain receiver. Bruce Arians asked him why he did not throw the ball to that receiver. Palmer said he did not think the receiver was open. Arians replied...in this league, he was open. Meaning, the windows are nearly always tight.

When a guy is called not that bad, they are pretty bad.

The under indicates, same as any competing teams. A reason one is under/over.

Lots and lots of rings owned by average players- don’t have to give them back, but doesn’t make them great. (Or great ceases to mean anything)

I mean she is cute and all, but the arrangement is warped. As a 60 year old I think a woman in her 30's would be more appropriate.

I jest, but seriously what do you talk about with someone who is 20 years, or more younger?
