We reside in a league where we can't field 32 starting caliber quarterbacks, much less competent back ups. The league has seen luminaries such as Kevin Hogan, Case Keenum, CJ Beathard, Tom Savage, Brian Hoyer, Josh McCown and EJ Manuel start games. They've been grooming Hundley for years in a system that isn't necessarily the easiest to come in and just pick up. Hundley hadn't failed as of yet and had looked decent at times in the past, so there was no reason to assume that a scrap heap guy like Matt McGloin was going to come in and do better. They probably weren't going to find a better option anywhere else. I have a hard time laying the blame at the foot of those two, even though I'm not a huge McCarthy fan overall.

If Brady goes down and the Pats go 2-8, does BB get fired?

 

Green Bay has far more common sense and patience than that.

Belichick should have a much longer leash than McCarthy and Thompson. 

I think McCarthy is a mediocre to bad coach and Thompson deserves some heat but firing either solely because the team gains without Rodgers would be stupid.

only if you were seriously considering letting them go before the season. IMO mccatthy is much better as a OC where he can just focus on offense and not worry about managing a game.. TT has had more than his fair share of early round misses on defense, and they havent fielded a competent defense in how many years now? maybe a crappy end will give the higher ups the public support they felt they needed but if they were happy before they should be happy after.

2nd in win% among current active coaches and 16th best all-time = mediocre to bad, eh?

And then it turns out to be inconsequential as you guys lose the game to us, so I'm glad both sides can have something to love.

And then the whole season turns out to be inconsequential when you guys choke. So the rest of the league has something to love.
