From Lambeau to Lombardi, Holmgren, McCarthy and LaFleur and from Starr to Favre, Rodgers and now Jordan Love we’re talking Super Bowl Champion Green Bay Packers football. This Packers Forum is the place to talk NFL football and everything Packers. So, pull up a keyboard, make yourself at home and let’s talk some Packers football.
I disagree. I was here in 2016 saying this team was close to talentless with very little ascending players and a &%$@ ton of awful contracts. This forum would always counter with the record of the team and finishing a game from the SB.
Rodgers absolutely carries the ever living &%$@ out of this offense. Especially last season that was incredibly weak on the OL, WR, and TE.
Sure, that's fine. You called it. In 2016, we were a team in decline, and 2017 and 2018 showed that. Congratualtions, truly.
But there is a simple fact at play here. Over Rodgers' entire career, he has never had as much success in any three year period as he has had in the past three years. If you cherry pick his BEST three years from before MLF came around and compare him to the past three years, the best 3 years is only marginally better than these 3 consecutive years.
So Rodgers is MORE effective with MLF and Gutey's roster than he ever was before those two were here. Rodgers has been consistent. The variables that changed were his support. When more success comes, it's due to the changed variables, not to the constant. There's just no debate here. It's undisputed. Rodgers' personal success, and his team success, has had a better three year run than any other time in his career. So stop pretending that the supporting cast and the coaches don't make the difference, because they do.
the biggest change from my perspective these last 3 years is the defense, a close second is MLF schemes, 2019 we had one of the best edge rushers in the league, our pass rush was very good, it declined some in 2020, but over all the defense kept improving, last season it was a top 5 pass rush group and we finally had a MLB and the defense was a top 10 unit.
the offense revolved around the ability of Rodgers and Adams, we saw what happened when Adams was limited and our running attack was stymied.
this season we'll need some receivers to step up and deliver, this defense should keep us in every game.
that 2011 team had a very potent passing attack and not much else
I am always up for taking shots on former 1st/2nd round picks who were waived and would fill out the bottom of the roster. Get them cheap, hope to be able to tap their potential, if not, they are an easy cut.
