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.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I guess so. Don't think I was involved with previous discussions.  Tepper is one of the newest owners in the NFL. Dan is going into his 3rd season as a GM - ever. Dave is going into his 3rd season as a HC - ever. Before becoming a HC, he was an OC/playcaller for one season total. Idzik is about to go into his 1st year as a play caller - ever. WRs are rookies, sophomores and 3rd year guys - though the experienced 3rd year guys are XL and Coker (who has missed a ton of games). TEs are guys going into their 2nd and 3rd seasons, and Tommy Tremble - though Sanders has missed a ton of games. QB has played 3 years. Chuba is an experienced RB, but Brooks and Etienne have taken very little snaps at the position. O-line is more experienced vets with some talent - which is HUGE. Need them to stay healthy. I mean the offense is very young in every aspect except O-line. You see it differently?

      I said this ALL last season and will say it again this year. Our record means diddly squat this year, I don't care if we have 0 wins or 17 wins, I only care about one thing and one thing only. Bryce proves without a shadow of a doubt that he IS or ISN'T our long term solution at QB. It's the only thing that matters for the same reason it sucks that this is the same thing as last year.  This needs to be determined, and if they can't determine it, then it's still telling the team the answer, just not the one they want to hear. As right now we're in the ultimate QB purgatory, a position that dooms franchises for years.  Just look at a team like the Cardinals, who extended a better QB and it still screwed them over and haven't had a contending team in a long time. People get too caught up on wins and losses when evaluating players, particularly QBs.  When people look at the final record and use that as a reason to want to extend a QB or not is just a fools errand.  If we had lost 2-3 more games last year because we didn't make a last second FG, I genuinely wonder if we would have just moved on from Bryce this offseason (like we should have been doing anyways IMHO).
