Mazrimiv Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 In all seriousness, it's pretty crazy that GB has had either Starr, Favre or Rodgers running the offense for something like 40 of the past 60 NFL seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume that is mostly because I wasn't old enough yet to be cynical. My first ever Packers game was in 1984 vs the Air Coryell Super Chargers, which happened to be my 2nd favorite team at the time due to their awesome uniforms. I vaguely remember spending much of the game yelling at Dickey for not getting the ball to Jefferson, who always seemed to be running wide open. The more things change...

As for Stroud, he's the best QB prospect I've seen in awhile. I've been touting him on here since last year. He has a cannon, yet with a very compact throwing motion/quick release. Stout frame. Cold weather QB. There's 0% chance that Gute gets fired this offseason. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even tho MLF signed an extension it won't save his fanny if we go 3-13. Just ask Coach Chryst in Madison. Coach Chryst in Madison the past couple years "earned" his firing. He lost on the recruiting trail, his offense was old and stale and it was time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there is about a 1% chance he gets fired. Murphy doesn't want to look bad for firing the guy he hired. But I think Gute SHOULD be fired. My nightmare scenario is that the Packers lose all the rest, go 3-14, end up with the first pick in the 2023 draft, and Gute is still GM. CJ Stroud, the best QB prospect in years, is sitting there ready to be our next great franchise QB for the next 12-15 years, and of course Gute can't draft him or else he will look really bad, having already made a questionable pick of Love. He either trades out of the first pick or picks some other position at pick #1. So to avoid this nightmare scenario, I have motivation to keep rooting for the Packers to win more games this year.

Good thing is your nightmare scenario won't happen. No GM in their right mind would pass up on a franchise QB simply because they're afraid of the optics of taking one before. I mean, how many people still complain about Ted Thompson taking Brian Brohm after taking Aaron Rodgers in the first round? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now, we've got Houston (1-6-1), Carolina (2-7), Las Vegas (2-6), Pittsburgh (2-6), and Detroit (2-6) that would need to win at least one more game just to match in the win column. That's not including the other 7 teams who have 3 wins. Looking at Houston's schedule, I don't see any chance they win more than 1 game this year. Two if they're absolutely lucky. Carolina has a couple of winnable games, but until they get consistent QB play that's not likely. It feels like at some point they'll get on track and get closer to a .500 record. Pittsburgh just not a good football team, and they're gonna go through growing pains with Pickett. That probably doesn't translate to many wins. Detroit's a bad team, but they've got a couple of winnable games but I'm not expecting more than one or two more wins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And maybe the Jaguars/Commanders/Titans slip up? Luckily all four of these teams have shaky QB play, so they could stumble into 3 wins total. Carolina has a worse schedule ahead of them than the Texans. However, to your point, the Packers will probably stumble into a few wins even though losing out would be better.

I think they've got two very winnable games (at Chicago, vs Detroit) plus I think the home game coming off a bye against the Rams could also be another win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
