Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers and coach Mike McCarthy seem to have a love/hate relationship and even though the Packers ran up the score Sunday against the Buffalo Bills, Rodgers described the offense as not being at a playoff level yet.
Although Rodgers didn't publically call out McCarthy, it seems like he might be having some early season gripes with him. Packers CEO Mike Murphy doesn't seem too concerned about the issues between the two guys because they have been there before and seem to always get through the issue.
“We've seen this before,” Murphy told NFL Network this week. “I think they've had a great relationship. It's just, two highly competitive people. The most important thing, they both want the same thing — they want us to win and obviously score as many points as possible. I think it's a very stressful environment, too. Highly pressurized.”
Murphy said that there is going to be these type of issues when two guys have worked together at such a high level for such a long time.
“Their track record is pretty good,” Murphy said. “It's a competitive league. It's hard to win on a consistent basis with all the different issues you deal with on a regular basis. Injuries, etc. Mike and Aaron, for over 10-plus years with him as a starter and obviously the time when he was backing up Brett [Favre], they've been through a lot together.”
Winning cures all so if they continue to win, the problems will probably work themselves out, but if the losses start to pile up, there could be some issue.
