We are the 2008 Green Bay Packers...

Rodgers first year starting, they finished 6-10, with a lot of close losses. I hate these losses as much as everyone else, but perspective is key, I truly feel we are an offseason away from competing for the playoffs.

I like what I see, but gotta get the rungame to deliver b/w 150-200 yds/game.

Except the Packers had two first round picks in 2008 and it allowed them to get BJ Raji(one of, if not the best at his position) and Clay Matthews(also one of the best at his position).

Our success next year depends solely on Hurney picking a true impact defensive player. It also depends on Beason being able to return at full strength after a torn Achilles tendon, and history leaves me feeling extremely nervous on that.

I'm sorry but I'm not ready to jump on that Packers/Lions/Colts bandwagon. I'm optimistic we'll be fine, but a lot of shiit has to go our way.

Ive fully believed this all year. Go look at Rodgers wiki page and read the articles at the bottom. Many talk about how he can't win close games or how many games were blown by awful defense. Rome wasnt built in a freaking day. Look at the teams that "won right away" with rookie qb's. They might make it to the playoffs but none of them have won squat ie atl, Baltimore, the jets, and on. It's a slow process but were on the right track.

      Major Concerns with this team…with numbers

      By Stumpy · Posted

      The good news is that we are pretty uniquely well established to address all of our needs this season. We have $14m real cap space, and something like $40m in trade deadline cap space. Not sure exactly how that works out. But, we have the room to absorb any bad contracts. With recent rule changes regarding retention, that went into effect this season, we now have a huge advantage in the trade market.  On top of that, while we do have obvious needs, we also have a glut of talent in certain areas that we struggle to find ice time for. We are over-stocked on scrappy talented lil-guys, strong defensively sound 3rd liners and shutdown left shot dmen. Whether it's a package or separate deals, idk. But, one of each from Stank/Blake/Nads, Erob/Carrier/KK/Jank, and Walker/Nystrom; throw in some 1st round picks (and frankly any other prospects they want) and we should be able to come out with a 1b to pair with Bussi and either a 2c with size or a 2c and size.   TL/DR We got the money, you got the stuff?

      I don’t  think 6’4 was ever considered small or undersized. Baby hands tho, yes that was his thing That’s an interesting idea, like an optical illusion? Sounds like you have personal experience with this!

      in the 25' draft the Carolina Panthers had hired Brandt Tillis someone who actually understood how to build a successful team & build through the draft .  this team was yes mismanaged for years prior to Brandt Tillis joining the team in 25' & rarely done anything right in the draft outside occaionaly getting lucky on an UDFA such as Jalen Coker who's dad coincidentally happened to be a huge Carolina Panthers fan, hint hint  ...just saying
