[QUOTE="jakemillar, post: 727289, member: 12460"] I feel you are taking my comment above slightly out of context. McCarthy's consistency in running his system is a compromise. There's something to be said about the simplicity of an offense and the players within it all knowing what to do. Very rarely is a team able to have all the game day active skill position players on offense be able to comfortably interchange between the Z, X, Y, and W receiver spots and not make mental mistakes, and McCarthy's system does that. This is a huge plus for the players who play for Green Bay. I had heard Aaron Rodgers mention in his interview from last summer with Bill Simmons that one thing he loved about Peyton Manning was his approach to being able to use and/or stay in the same personnel groupings/formations, but run their entire offense through those personnel sets, or run them with tempo to where the defense can't keep up, or get caught guessing on one play that looks the same as a previous play but is different. The other side of this is the fact that, and I know I'm not the first to address this, is that a lot of what you see on a week to week basis is repetitive, and teams catch on. Isolation routes relying on a WR corps who lack speed to try and separate is a staple of this offense as well. IMO, the greatness that is Aaron Rodgers has made McCarthy able to get away with this because his ability to make spectacular throws either on time in the confines of the play call, or to buy time and create if the play breaks down. Look no further than Eli Manning and the struggles that the New York offense had this season. I can almost guarantee Eli & Aaron could switch places and run the others offense without skipping a beat, same verbiage and everything. But where Aaron makes Green Bays offense flourish is his ability to create when a stagnant "slant-flat" combo is called 13 times per game, and the defense is onto it. [/QUOTE]
