oh I see where you got that from. You think I personally walk around disappointed all day long each day because we didn’t win a SB. To the point I can’t stand to watch games?Post #110.
Lol, you're in the running for post of the year with this comment.True. I even agree or “like” with Captain’s post quite often. Albeit, it’s only 1 in every 275 comments, but that’s like every other day. Just having fun
I'll be quite surprised if our offense regresses from last season. That was a flat out ugly 17 game performance.Our Defense needs to step up big time. Barry will be short on excuses if we don’t crack a top 10 Defense this season. Really should be in that top 6-8 area with all the resources we’ve poured into D.
If each Defensive player plays just a little better than last season we could at least remain competitive this season. The Offense will regress a little, but also could be inspired by our Defense to keep it closer to 2022 level competitive IF the Defense keeps us in games.
To which I reply so what???It's all but guaranteed that any other player selected instead of Love would have had a bigger impact over the past three years. Even if he didn't end up as a core player.
Exactly. We could've either pushed for the immediate 1-2 years by reaching a little at #26-#30 overall on a 2020 WR, which is totally inconsistent with what’s worked over decades. That or start looking to the next 15 years. Had Rodgers been 33 years old and coming off a 2019 MVP? Maybe switch gears there, but that was not the case at all.To which I reply so what???
Using your philosophy, a GM could easily pass over superior talent to fill perceived immediate needs which I would argue is a very bad model to use (especially in the first round) and would lead to bypassing guys like Rodgers, Clark and Gary. All of whom needed refinement and/or time to physically or mentally mature. Imo, it leads to drafting guys like Dix. This is the Bears and Vikings way of drafting (jump for needs), and I don't want to end up like them for sure.
It's all a matter of draft philosophy and discipline.
That’s not on Jordan Love either or Gutenkunst for that matter. Those are excuses. Imo we’ve had plenty of talent to Win.., I don’t buy all the excuses about 1 later round draft pick being the thorn in all our woes or meager attempts to dissuade responsibility of our HOF QB’s underperforming when it mattered.

We probably guessed wrong a little there as Rodgers returned to elite level in 2020.
However if we use hindsight a second time I’d say we guessed correctly. Justin Jefferson was about the only player within reach in 2020 that was a true difference maker in his first 2 seasons. Anyone outside of that was a real long shot to advance us past maybe a game.
He made the correct decision even if Love flails because no Wideout left would’ve changed our overall status.

Btw, my unsung linchpin for 2023 is Devonte Wyatt. If he can play the entire 2023 season like he did the final few games of last year, then the Packers will finally have a teammate who can take some pressure off of Clark. Though, now that I think about it, Barry will probably just drop Wyatt into zone coverage for some ridiculous reason.
There was still no guarantee we’d win a SB. Even if said player was so dynamic that he made us advance one game you can’t assume it’s the last game. Plus we never got to a SB so that’s more than 1 game differential anyway. It was 2 games and possibly 3 in a Divisional to achieve the goal. Unless you think making it to a NFC game or SB and losing is a good outcome? I don’t.Well, it would have been enough if another player selected in the first round of the 2020 draft advanced us for another game
Even IF (big IF) it was the case that one #26 overall selection made or broke a GM’s entire career? Nearly all the GM’s would be out of a job in a few years. The only reason you say he should be fired is because you side with Rodgers. That’s a knee-jerk reaction and should never be used to solely determine someone’s livelihood. This isn’t Super NintendoThat's ridiculous. If Love ends up being a bust Gutekunst should be put on the hot seat immediately.
I am both excited and fearful if Wyatt becomes what everyone thinks he is going to be as a prospect...because if he does the argument for continuing to pay Clark everything he is getting could draw an eye, especially if right before trade deadline we are setting winless...

Will you be as quick to promote him if it does work out?If it doesn't work out the general manager should rightfully be on the hot seat for it.
