"You don't need snot bubbles and tears. You play quarterback, not linebacker. OK, we don't need all this bullsh*t. Just go f*cking play quarterback and be relaxed and throw the damn ball to the right guy because you got the talent."McCarthy has completed 86 of 159 passes for 929 yards, six touchdowns, and 10 interceptions. He has been sacked 20 times, including five in last week's 23-6 loss to the Green Bay Packers.He led his team to a 27-24 win against the Chicago Bears in his first NFL start.

But we've just got to be better for the fans, especially at home."McCarthy completed 16 of 32 passes for 159 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions.
