[QUOTE="rodell330, post: 554587, member: 6676"] I dont believe it's to early to speak on this at all. The draft is over and free agency has already been upon us. It's the same thing the last what? 3yrs/4yrs with the defense guys. Ranked in the mid to low 20's even 30's in production...or lack thereof. I'm not asking for us to be a top 5 defense or even top 10 but 15 would be respectable especially with the talent we have on offense and having the best player in football playing QB for us. People outside of Green Bay fans would consider us legit SB contenders vs a team that will probably win the North (which isn't guaranteed) and getting in the playoffs. If you listen to these analyst they don't even mention GB being a SB threat really anymore since Seattle and San Fran has come along. The talk is constantly about one of those two teams representing the NFC and you know why? Because they both play stout and stingy defense. I think Kap and Wilson are just average qbs who were fortunate enough to land in spots where the run game and defense are legit. Neither guy is all that great, but game managers to me if I'm being honest. But leave it to the GB D to make Kap look all pro every freakin time we play them smh. We have a star qb and a legit running game now but the defense is still a disappointment that's holding us back. That's why GB isn't the class of the NFC anymore. People get offended when I say anything about Teddy but he has missed on defense guys that's not something I'm making up just to bash the guy come on now. There are guys he didn't either draft or sign vi free agency making plays for someone else's team..mainly guys he passed on in the draft. On another note the Peppers signing will work in our favor and was a great pickup. On another note we are still thin in the middle.
