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.
This. Don't get me wrong, Kupp is not that far off. He was great this year. But Davante still gets the edge as better.
When I look beyond the stats I see a guy that is a much better blocker than davante, in a scheme that asks him to block (like ours). I also see a guy who cant be stopped even when the opposing team knows Stafford wants to get him the ball (end of TB game). I also see a receiver that produces in the biggest games. If Adams played like Kupp in against SF, The packers win that game. I also dont see how you look beyond the stats, he dominated every aspect of the stats...the Rams have a very diverse offense and Kupp still rose to the top. I love Davante and think he probably 2 at worst 3rd best in league, but I think the super bowl MVP is the top of the class in 2021.
A rare time this year we agree.
I'm really big on stepping up when the moment is huge. Adams dropped the easy TD in 2020. Adams disappeared after the first drive against SF. Kupp stepped up every time they needed him to this year. I can't not notice that.
I think its indisputable this year. Happy we have something to agree on. I like debating with you on my side from time to time!
Expectations are higher in Titletown. Bart Starr won the 5 NFL championships. Winning 2 championships over the past 54 years doesn't generally cut it for Packers fans that were around for the Glory Years ...... regardless of who is playing QB or running the front office or Head Coach, Defensive Coordinator, etc. for the 13 time champion Green Bay Packers.
Palmy - "Very few have the ability to truly excel regardless of system. For many the system is the difference between being just a guy or an NFL starter. Fact is, everyone is talented at this level."
ah nuts, seems like an actually good hire by them. And the McVay tree has turned out to be legit.
Kind of interesting, though, O'Connell doesn't have much experience with him and was not involved in any of the other staffs (no experience with Shanahan, LaFleur, Taylor, etc.)
O'Connell was pretty unceremoniously kicked out of Washington and was hired in LA as OC. He has only been with McVay for two seasons.
