The Green Bay Packers, in the eyes of a certain segment of their fan base, have perpetually been the team that valued continuity over instant attempts at improvement. Dom Capers coordinated the defense for nine years, and for five years after Colin Kaepernick ran all over them in the NFC divisional round. The team rarely went hunting for free agents, preferring to promote from their own ranks. It became a part of the Packers ethos: they believed in their process and didn't want to deviate from it. The whispers of Mike McCarthy being a step behind the best offenses in the game started years ago -- he became The Coach Who was Bailed Out by Aaron Rodgers.
