OTA's are voluntary. Although most of the Packers showed up, there were a number of significant players who have not shown up at all. My question is what message is being sent to the coaching staff and GM and what message is being sent in return to the players from the coaching staff and GM?
It appears to me that with a new regime in town, with a new playbook in the works, and a number of new players on the team, that our players would want to be in camp working out the kinks so that the camp can run smoothly. I would think that players who want their team to be successful would want to be at these voluntary OTA's. I would think that players who are in this for the money only, wouldn't give a hoot about the team and would be at home or on vacation enjoying their new found wealth.
I can't speak for everyone on this board, but the message that I am receving from these players who are not there, is that I don't care about the Green Bay Packers, our up-coming record, the coaching staff or my teammates and fans. The message that I'm getting from McCarthy and Thompson are, we're too weak to deal with these absent players and we'll just see how it plays out. I'm sure they don't want it this way, but I get the feeling that they want to take control but won't because they don't want to rock the boat. Am I correct in this thinking?
