Some credit here deserves to go to Mike McCarthy. He has developed one superstar quarterback plus one that seems more than ready to take a starting job next year. The man knows how to coach QBs.

McCarthy never gets enough credit. This blog, and its readers, were so quick to bash him last year when he (admittedly) mismanaged some late game situations. But, he has gotten much better. His play calling is superb and the team, and most importantly Aaron, really like him. He seems like a good guy too, especially across from that jerk Jim Schwartz. He never draws unnecessary attention to himself.

…and great talent evaluators to get them in the building to get that coaching.

Doesn’t any of these idiots remember Aaron Brooks, Mark Brunell or Matt Hasselbeck? Remember the Packers drafted Brian Brohm in the 2nd round but stuck with Flynn? Face it, the Packers are a golldarned QB machine. Of course it’s the system, the system of drafting and developing QBs. The QBs are effective in the offense because these guys have become good through development.
If you let Bernt tell it they all “fell into a good situation”

HHmmm…NFL teams actually have “systems” in place on offense and defense?
I thought they just ran to imaginary fire hydrants,parked cars,telephone poles and for some really intense routes…the third broken piece of sidewalk near the stop sign.

Flynn learned from a class act guy, A-Rod. When you learn from someone that you respect you will perform at a higher level. Fuck the System, it can’t be helped that we have top of the line QB’s. Not to mention a top of the line coach who can develop QB’s like no other. Had Brent listened to McCarthy half the time he would have made it to the Superbowl in ’06. So in addition Fuck Brent and Fuck the System. Go Greatness! Go Pack!

NEWSFLASH – Every QB is technically a ‘System QB’

Rodgers played 6 less quarters than Brees did. He sat in the 4th quarter for two games prior to Flynn’s start against Detroit.

As PackAttack pointed out – MM takes his foot off the gas. Flynn put up 6 TD’s because he HAD to put up 6 TD’s to win.

Those throws didn’t complete themselves. Flynn showed he can read the blitz, make every pass in the route tree, change the call at the line, mastery of the hard count, run the 2 minute, etc. How is that a “system” of anything? Bayless is a moron and should be ignored.
