I am a huge Packer fan and I would still say Packer fans are a bit notorious for being a little spoiled and I think get caught up in the "history" a bit too much. They hold fairly unrealistic expectations for their team because they are just that passionate about it. Surprisingly enough though, Mike Holmgren is still highly regarded and so far he has the same amount of Super Bowls as McCarthy.
Thompson I understand because he is frustrating as heck. Pretty difficult as a fan to support a GM that doesn't use the full arsenal of tools at his dispense and routinely fails to surround his a hall of fame QB with the proper talent. I think McCarthy has being really hamstrung by Thompson's refusal to properly support his team.
