I honestly don't know what to make of the Packers this year because it has been so long since they've had a new coaching staff. I suspect they will have problems with Rodgers. He wants to sling it all over the field, their coach wants to run first to set up the pass. He wants the freedom to call his own plays, their coach wants him to run what they call. The team can't have two masters. Doesn't sound like they are on the same page. LaFleur is wet behind the ears, not much older than some of their players, so unless the offense comes out on fire he's going to have an uphill battle earning the team's respect. I also think their GM has done a poor job of drafting and signing free agents so the talent cupboard is pretty bare. I'm honestly thinking 6-10 for them. The sports writers always grossly overrate the Packers every offseason because of A-Rod but they also did that last year and look what happened.
