The Green Bay Packers have a huge season ahead of them. Once one of the NFL's few consistent winners, the Packers have fallen on hard times the past couple of seasons. Things got stale under Mike McCarthy, and Aaron Rodgers began to look disengaged.

Eventually, management couldn't take it anymore and they canned McCarthy, replacing him with whizkid Matt LaFleur. The team is hoping that LaFleur can inject some youthful energy into the franchise again, and things appear to be going well so far.

Of course, anytime a new system has to be installed it can take time and there can be hiccups, but LaFleur said in a recent press conference that everything is going smoothly.

LaFleur said it's always hard to predict how quickly different guys will be able to pick things up, but said “being directly involved on the offensive side, I've been pretty impressed and pretty pleased with how fast our guys have been able to digest this information.”

That's music to the ears of Packers fans. The team needs to get back to winning right away, and they don't have much time for an adjustment period, so everything will need to be clicking from day one. The most important thing right now is LaFleur's relationship with Rodgers, and the duo appear to be getting along.

Rodgers reportedly wanted a more innovative offensive mind who would push him more, and he got his wish. LaFleur is a 39-year-old offensive guru, and he's reportedly been taking a very hands-on approach.

Reports from OTA practices have said LaFleur is coaching up and instructing the quarterbacks at every turn, something McCarthy usually left up to his quarterbacks' coaches.
