To me this all comes down to the talent that’s on the field and whether you “should” win those games or not. We can’t just always treat playoff performances as a crap shoot, numbers game once you get there. This is where the opinions are really diverging, I think, and why I’ll never see eye to eye on this McCarthy thing with a lot of the pro MM crowd.
I have always said my anti-MM stance was based on the fact that I think he’s had the best roster in the NFL at least 5 seasons, and probably closer to 7-8 during his career. Aaron Rodgers during the McCarthy era in GB is the only QB I would put on the tier of Mahomes in terms of talent. It’s where my Calipari comparison comes from. If he’s hired, I’d love to be wrong.
