We saw that team without Rodgers and they're probably the 4th best in the division without him. Fans will go nuts, bad PR, etc. Rodgers is set for life and doesn't need to play another down if he doesn't want to.

Bears and Trubisky should be a team on the rise this year which pushes a Rodgers-less Green Bay down unless MN or DET collapse mightily. Without Rodgers, the division probably looks like: MN, DET, CHI, GB. With Rodgers: MN, GB, DET, CHI with MN and GB neck & neck. I wouldn't even be surprised if Chicago overtakes Detroit this year.

Indeed and GB was without a lot more than just Rodgers in 2017 and of course you never know how much new draft picks, developing players, and Free agents will impact. Hard to say right now as so much can happen. I don't think anyone can look at GB's roster objectively and say its not somewhat improved overall since 2017.

It's not hard to see all of the NFC North improved this year. But so much can happen between now and September. Injuries....players not panning out....etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can say it changed due to talent loss/gain and coaching changes, but nobody knows for sure if your team or anyone else's improved or regressed. All of our analysis is what it looks like on paper. This offseason on paper i think the Bears improve the most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vike daddy Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 The three wide receivers Gutekunst selected aren’t going to have an impact because rookie wide receivers hardly ever do, especially those taken in the fourth round and beyond, which is exactly where J’Mon Moore (fourth), Marquez Valdes-Scantling (fifth) and Equanimeous St. Brown (sixth) were selected. Last year, for example, the Los Angeles Rams’ Cooper Kupp led all rookie receivers with 62 receptions, which ranked tied for 37th in the NFL. The next highest was Pittsburgh’s JuJu Smith-Schuster, who ranked tied for 47th with 58 catches. Cooper was taken in the second round and Smith-Schuster in the third. Gutekunst could have a big problem if his rookies don’t prove ready. His only sure things at wide receiver are Davante Adams, Randall Cobb and $30 million free agent Jimmy Graham, who for all intents and purposes is a receiver. An injury could leave McCarthy desperately thin at that position. Gutekunst can’t assume Geronimo Allison, Trevor Davis, Michael Clark or Yancey are going to fill important roles and so Gutekunst should be on the lookout for a veteran. https://www.jsonline.com/story/sports/nfl/packers/silverstein/2018/05/12/packers-brian-gutekunst-upgrading-roster/602621002/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be terribly shocking to see a player retire after suffering a couple injury’s entering a season where he turns 36 instead of signing the franchise tags.
