That's fascinating. How many of those wins without Rodgers were played by a HOF QB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelKing728 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 They'll probably win just enough to waste another season with him next year. Nah, but for their own good, they should lose to Minnesota this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel GB fans are so spoiled at even entertaining such an idea. There is only a tiny vocal minority entertaining this stupid notion. Yes, a lot of younger GB fans are spoiled. I started cheering for GB back in the 70s and 80s when we were truly dreadful so I really appreciate the great QB play we've been blessed with for 25+ years. I keep telling them QBs like Rodgers don't grow on trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, if we lose and miss the playoffs perhaps we'll be able to draft higher like MN has to accumulate the roster they have today before Rodgers retires. Wouldn't that be fun for Vikings fans?

Cant deny that defense was built with really good 1st round picks, thanks to the TJax and Christian Ponder years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not getting into a *** for tat about it but last year the GBPs were slotted to draft at #14 - the highest they've been in a dogs age. So barring trades or transactions, they've been drafting the bottom feeders of each round for a long time. That can have a cumulative effect. Then if you "miss" with your talent evaluations?

Most teams don't draft well over an extended period. It seems like just yesterday we were talking about the Seahawks as a potential dynasty. From 2010-2012, they drafted Russell Okung, Earl Thomas, Golden Tate, Kam Chancellor, KJ Wright, Richard Sherman, Byron Maxwell, Bruce Irvin, Bobby Wagner, and Russell Wilson. All of these guys played a significant role in winning a Super Bowl for Seattle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah i guess a high 2nd helped get the 3rd. Not like the other 2 draft picks did much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickel Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Feel pretty confident in saying most GB fans would be happy to move on at this point. However, I'm a realist so I don't assume that a change gives us a better chance to win moving forward. Watching a team continuously lose close games feels like a leadership issue, although the more informed fans understand the roster had/has holes and needed a lot of upgrades. It's young and it's got some talent and we've played some very tough games against a crazy tough schedule the last few weeks. And of course that leadership issue may start with the coach, but on offense Rodgers can be as frustrated as he wants with the game plan or injuries or whatever, but tonight Brees threw 4 TD's to four un-drafted players. Gun to my head at this point in Rodgers career I would stick with McCarthy. Everyone is on the Saints bandwagon and as has been pointed out they went through some tough times. Another strong draft/free agency period could easily put us back in the mix as a serious contender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
