He earned and deserved the contract. I think MLF is exerting his control over the team, and is clearly enabled by Gute and the rest of Green Bay's front office. This is a special circumstance of a franchise QB having very little power or even influence within the organization. There is no owner i.e. Jerry Jones that would override the decisions of Gute/MLF. I actually championed for the MLF hire, but I didn't realize the magnitude over the organization's backing of him. The team is clearly taken shape in the image of MLF's vision and hopefully this isn't a phasing out of AR-12.The draft picks are what they are. Hopefully, the FA's and draft picks along with progression from players remaining from last year's team will keep the team in the hunt. I think GB was lucky to get into the NFCCG. Clearly they weren't ready for SF...a second time around. Maybe more of a ground game, screen passes, and AR12 working the play action may take less pressure off the O-Line and create more separation for the WRs and TEs.</blockquote>
