[QUOTE="weeds, post: 250964, member: 39"] Doug, my theory runs on a different tangent - though just slightly. I'm thinking that [U][I]if[/I][/U] McCarthy wanted #4 gone, it would have been because #4 didn't make the decisions in the manner that McCarthy wanted them made. Not an ego thing about proteges and stuff like that The interception at the end of the '07 NFC Championship game for example - and plenty of film from other playoff games after '98 as well. If a HC feels that his QB isn't executing his offense ... who could blame the HC for wanting a QB that plays with his head versus one who will just 'wing it' so to speak. Even when #4 played for the Packers, the pundits would excuse poor decision making as "Well...you [U]LIVE[/U] and [U]DIE[/U] with #4....." or somesuch, I was paraphrasing there. Now, I do recognize that if the Giants' kicker had made one of two or three that he missed prior, we wouldn't even be having this discussion since the game would never have gone to OT ... but the fact is that it did go to overtime and #4 threw an ill-advised pass, when another receiver was open down the middle. I can understand McCarthy's anger IF that was the case. We don't know what was called ... did #4 check down at the line ... did he go through his progressions properly? ... we can't know and McCarthy isn't going to talk about that and frankly, it doesn't matter now. A lot of things we don't know and as someone else said, we won't know until the books come out, and they will. ...but, as it sits ... what got the Packers where we see them today, has had little to do with whether or not #4 was/is under center. Last year, chalk it up to a defense that was nowhere to be found (and I'm still not sold on this new version with shiney wheel covers and stuff) ... this year, so far... it's the O-line. Blame Thompson for not getting O-lineman and you're accurate...these guys can't pass block, nor run block -- last year, nor this year ... but, you sure can't blame the play at QB thus far, that much is for sure.
