A reader sent us a text asking us to examine an interesting topic. Suppose the pocket from which Aaron Rodgers throws continues to collapse, penalties continue to pile up, the Packers miss the playoffs, and MM gets an AK (ass kicking) out of town.
Who replaces him?
Our reader was hopeful it would be Mike Holmgren. We like the Walrus as much as the next guy however several points block his entry firm returning to the sideline in Green Bay.
1.) Holmgren will want say in the draft....that's why he left GB in the first place.
Ripping control of the draft day war room out of TT's control is like ripping a loaded shot gun out of Charleton Heston's cold dead fingers. Our guess is TT spends his free time in the war room evaluated film by flash light...or maybe even candle light.
2.) Holmgren will demand a lot of money. TT has shown the characteristics of a value investor. It doesn't seem like he'd throw the Walrus $7-8 million/year when he won't pay a premium to protect Aaron Rodgers.
Good thought on Walrus, but if MM gets replaced (which could happen if pad level doesn't improve) it's likely it'll be a little known name in a continued trend for cheap labor.
