Packers first team to play on Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years day. The NFL recognizes the beast of team Ted Tompson has assembled in Green Bay.
Can anyone name a Quarterback that would be picked before Aaron Rodgers as the best in the league right now?
I cant and hes young. Dam its good to be a Packer fan.
My three favorite Quarterbacks of all time are Rodgers, Favre, Starr. Oh wow all three played for the Pack and all three have rings. Greatest football franchise in history. Yes i think so.
I thought Favre was the greatest quarterback I had ever seen play and then Rodgers took his play to another level last year with very little ground game. Favre is still the GREATEST FOOTBALL PLAYER I have ever seen. Broke every major record as a Packer. He just padded the stats as a Jet and Viking.
Speaking of now that Favre is retired fuck you Viking fans. He is a Packer again and guarantee he will be rocking GREEN AND GOLD into the Hall of Fame.
Recievers are just sick too. Finley is a game changer, best hands and greatest mismatch threat in the league. Greg Jennings will just flat out fuck your DB’s up. Nelson and Driver are studs and over match all nickel and dime corners they face.
Oline is deep and will continue to mature and get better.
Dont even get me started on my favorite defenders: present Matthews(should of been defensive MVP but hey im sure he will take the ring and Troy can have that award), Woodsen(hall of famer), Raji(best nose tackle in the league), Tramon Williams, Sam Shields(best nickel corner in the league). The safties are deep and wicked fast, the linebackers will fuck you up too. WOW.
Past: Reggie White- best defensive player I have ever seen play the game. The 97 superbowl team was his IMO. Sean Jones, Gilbert Brown, Ray Nitszke(never saw play but he is a complete badass), Al Harris(play-off pick vs Seahawks in OT was awesome), .
As for the 2011 draft I dont speculate or worry cause Ted Tompson can pick talent. End of discussion there. Lots of great teams in the NFL but with a little luck and health the current core of Packers will be adding a Lombardi Trophy or three to the Packers Trophy case.[/quote]
Um, can we hang out sometime? Thank God, another one!
While I’m going to have reserve any talks about Brett Favre for like 10 years down the line (I’ve still got a bad taste in my mouth) I agree with a lot of what you wrote.
Just like any team, though, it’s tough to win twice. If you’ve looked at the schedule for next year… yikes. It’s going to be a HELL of a season. Further, I’m almost apprehensive about what the team is going to be like getting back all their injured players. The team operated on a dynamic that I don’t feel can be replicated, but replaced.
As for draft needs, most mock drafts I’ve seen are predicting that DE from Ohio State going for them, if not the DE out of Wisconsin, but it’s doubtful he’ll make it that long. This is pretty important as we’re definitely not guaranteed Johnny Jolly or Cullen Jenkins next year. We need both, but losing Cullen would really suck. :S[/quote]
I hear you on tought schedule. But hey to be the best you have to beat everyone else. McCarthy seems to have fostered a play anyone, anywhere mind set for the Packers.
My dreams end with the Pack playing a wickedly good Patriots team in the Superbowl. In my dream the Pack wins of course.
Jolly will be back IMO. Losing Jenkins isnt ideal but loss will be mitigated by return of healthy Mike Neal(I cant remember if his last name is Oneal or Neal, long day at work). He was last years second round pick and played very well. He has protype size and if Jolly is back line could be deeper than last year. Pickett can still bring it. Its a rare team that has two legit 3-4 NT on the roster.
Of course we can hang out… Meet me at the game! I will have on blaze orange and a cheese head. lol
