Hayward, should have been Defensive Rookie of the Year and was then injured for the entirety of his second season. Hyde, excelled in his role at safety once he left but the Packers weren't going to bench HaHa or Burnett to start Hyde at safety! Capers wasn't great but to ignore the sub-par players the Packers have fielded at corner the past two years is just plain ridiculous! The ONLY Super Bowl the Packers have been in and won during Rodgers tenure was entirely on Capers' defense. McCarthy gets far more slack and credit for doing far less with more talent and yet Capers gets all the blame. I'm willing to cut Capers some slack for his time here. Plus, if you actually look at opponent adjusted defensive rankings on Football Outsiders, you'd see that Capers' defenses were not really that terrible until the past two years (but that would mean having to ignore the easy, lazy narrative and that's no fun).</p></blockquote><p></p>
