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.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
