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.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
