Maybe it's too many years working with Mac. Maybe it's his girlfriend. Maybe its the fact that Ted Thompson has done a shitty job bringing in talent for the past four years.

Whatever it is, he's not the same guy and I'm unsure if he even cares.

Both of these posts ring true to me... his head has probably gotten too big, he more than likely runs over McCarthy because Mike is scared to get in his top studs face about playing within his system

Mike needs a heart to heart with the other Mike, Holmgren that is... on how to rein in a cocky gunslinger

You're right about Thompson, Dane... he has done a terrible job of building that team around Aaron, when greybeard Julius Peppers is still your best pass rusher 4-5 years after his acquisition... things arent getting done

And thats just the defense
