[QUOTE="Sanguine camper, post: 899362, member: 9744"] Fair Enough: Here's the evidence the Packers Super Bowl window with AR has shut. 1- The team is significantly over the salary cap and will shed serious talent during the off season, including one or maybe two pro bowlers in Aaron Jones and Cory Lindsley. 2. Bakhtiari tore up his knee and will miss much of the 2021 season. Even if he plays a portion of the season, it's reasonable to expe t that he will be rusty if not the same athlete he once was. Bakt is no ordinary talent. He was on a HOF career path. Losing him was devastating and made all to apparent in the nfccg. 3.The Packers have shown no ability to get their special teams to a point where they are not a huge liability. That is going back over many seasons and different coaching staffs. Could it change? Maybe, but I wouldn't bet on it. 4. Paradoxically, as long as AR is the Packers qb, they will be mired with late round draft selections that make it tough to fill in enough holes in the roster with difference making talent. 5. Gute's 2020 draft was picked for the future and not to maximize the chances the team wins a Super Bowl trophy with AR. 6. Getting no production from a first round draft choice - Jordan Love - makes it a lot harder to win a Super Bowl. Given that all GM's miss on high draft choices, it's hard to compensate for that when your first round pick is in street clothes. 7.History of underachieving in the playoffs over the last decade. The sample size is quite big for both home and away games. The team plays soft and passive and all too often gets away from what worked to get them in that game. Not a good recipe for success but it keeps being followed. 8. Key players are at their prime and can be expected to decline, even if it's a modest one. Both Lindsley and Bakt are pushing 30, Crosby can't get the touchbacks he once had. Adam's had a career year and can't be expected to have the same type of success. Both LA and Tampa kept him from having his normal monster game in the playoffs which shows that he can be limited in key games. 9. Luck with injuries. Over the past two seasons, the Packers haven't been decimated by injuries. Don't expect that to continue as injuries tend to even out over time. 10. Poor coaching in big games. In the past two nfccg the coaching was very bad to be charitable. LaFleur looks to be another Marty Shottenheimer. He can win a lot of regular season games but makes huge blunders in clutch moments. 11.Distrust between LaFleur and Rodgers. LaFleur didn't trust Rodgers at the most crucial point in the season if not the last ten years of Rodger's career. That can't be undone with platitudes. Can't see how that helps them win a championship. 12. No evidence of a home field advantage in the playoffs. Going back to the beginning of AR's career, the Packers are a measely 5-4 at Lambeau. There are additional reasons but I think you can get the picture that the weight of all of these factors makes it a prudent decision to start the Jordan Love era. While I think he's not the long-term answer at qb, I still think he deserves his chance to show what he can do in regular season games when it counts. [/QUOTE]
