In defense of the current regime I will say the team had lots of injuries before AR went down...losing their best player put this team past the limits of "next man up". The injury plague that has affected this team over the years has been the biggest thing holding them back from winning another Super Bowl IMO. That being said, the reality that has been solidified over the last month is that AR is worth every penny. He seems to makes every aspect of this team better, as maybe should be the case for a guy whom the franchise must dedicate such an amount of salary cap space to.
Going against TT is just HOW terrible these guys have looked in AR's absence. It's absolutely fair to expect a significant drop-off in play, but the Packers have gone 0-4-1, without having to play even one elite opponent. It's fair to question just how good this roster actually is...therefore, it's fair to question just how good TT actually is.
The reason Indy fired Bill Polian was because it became readily apparent that the roster, aside from Manning, was awful. The question that should be posed to Packer fans is, "Is TT really that good?" Or did he just make one great selection that has made him look like a genius?
At the end of the day, TT and MM aren't and shouldn't go anywhere yet, but if he doesn't get rid of Dom Capers I will officially and finally have lost faith in and be done with McCarthy. If he doesn't fire the entire strength and conditioning staff I will be done supporting MM. We only have so many years with AR at the helm...I hate to see them squandered because MM is buddies with his coaching staff. Also, maybe the time has come for TT to grow a little and get a little more involved in the other options available to him to improve the team.
