GB Scott Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Is this the year the Board of Directors hold President/CEO Mark Murphy accountable for the state of the team? I hold no blame on Ted Thompson. I believe it will come out that that last few years his health was a major concern and obviously impact his ability to be head of Player Personnel. With that said how could Murphy not recognize this and have dealt with this a couple years earlier? There are more holes that can be filled. Seems focus has been on the Title Town District and not on building a championship team. I am just wondering what other are thinking or if Ted should share more of the blame?

Packer_ESP Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 I think it's time to focus on the 2019 season, our new coach, second year GM and incoming draft. Any other distractions should have either happened in January-February or must wait till next year. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
incognito_man Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 I blame the shareholders. Why stop at Murphy? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneTwoSixFive Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Mark Murphy was accountable. He is accountable. He will be accountable, as long as he is CEO. This seems to be the blame game wrapped in an accountability sandwich. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toddfather Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 A lot of people played a role in stagnant mess the Packers became. You can't just point the finger at one person. This kind of stuff happens with all successful businesses, relationships, etc if they get stagnant and don't focus on what got them there in the first place. Right now I think there has been accountability and a lot of positive changes are happening.I think it's time to give these changes a chance and see what success they can bring instead of beating the dead horse that was the previous direction the team was going. It doesn't matter anymore how long it took, or who was at fault the most. Those are the kind of discussions that halt people from moving forward and focusing on the future. **** the drama, lets talk about some football 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacReady Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 I don't blame Thompson, McCarthy, Rodgers or Capers individually. I think they're all highly capable. I blame whoever kept them together since none of them are good fits together. Guess that's gotta be Murphy then. I agree with Favre. McCarthy/Rodgers should have won more.

PossibleCabbage Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 I blame one shareholder in particular. They know who they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, they were probably the second most successful/consistent team over the past decade or so. They worked together great for a relatively long time, then it ran its course.

coachbuns Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Much as Favre did for the Packers ... he didn't win as many as he should have either. Probably shouldn't be throwing stones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isherwood Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 I think this Gute/LaFleur pairing is obviously Murphy’s last chance. It really plays like that. Him inserting himself into the football power structure more was his last ditch effort to make everything right again. If LaFleur and Gute succeed, no one in the brass will care much about the dip. If LaFleur flames out, Murphy is done. so to answer the OP’s question, yeah it probably is time for accountability, but that’s what’s actually happening already.

AlexGreen#20 Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Hard to say. Anybody for a real read on the board? Sounds like they're really happy collecting their money and letting that title town district develop. No desire to step into the football side.

BrettFavre004 Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Seems like a more appropriate question to ask around December/January, depending if we are playing for a top pick or have a first round bye. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
