The reason Aaron is a more appropriate comparison is that he also was not a rookie and had three years experience. Comparing it to true rookies like Peyton walking onto a 3-13 team with a new coach and starting five months out of college doesn't make sense. Love is stepping into a system he's...

I get the need to give Love air, but I really can't stand the "Aaron Rodgers sucked his first year too" posts. Aaron was 4th in the league in yards, 4th in touchdowns, and 5th in passer rating in his first year. Love might break the top 20 in yards. Yes, Aaron's receivers were obviously much...

My thoughts: This does feel like the end for Rodgers in Green Bay, although I hope that it isn't. Even Favre's weepy retirement speech in 2007 didn't bring the feeling of finality to me in the way that the Lions game and subsequent weeks has. I say that I hope that it isn't because, primarily...

Okay, thanks. Damn though. Pretty crazy that last year we shed our second highest paid offensive player (who went on to get $28 million per year) and our second highest paid defensive player (who went on to get $14 million per year), added no significant free agents at all, and we're still here...

Can you explain Bakh's cap hit significance? Over the Cap seems to imply that, had we cut him this past offseason, he'd have no more guaranteed money and would be a zero cap hit. But due to not cutting him this past offseason his guaranteed cap hit is like $18 million this year even if we cut...

Thank you. I'm actually prioritizing the Vikings game specifically because I won't be interested in making the very long trip for the Lions game if they're eliminated from contention at that point.

Hi guys, sorry to sidetrack this topic but I don't have enough posts to make a thread. I was wondering if I could get some advice on getting Packers tickets. I'm a longtime fan (since 2000) but haven't been to a game in 20 years because I'm from Southern Illinois and don't have any friends who...

Man, heading on 17 years of the Packers consistently, year after year, ignoring glaring position group deficiencies during a championship window. You can't even get mad about it anymore. The franchise is the definition of stagnation as the Murphy and the board are content to just run it like a...

I don't post here often, but does everyone else agree that signing Cobb was dumb and his roster spot is owed entirely to Aaron? During his last four years in Green Bay, he was one of the least effective receivers in the league, averaging like 7 yards a target. And he hasn't gotten better since...

Of course, no one knows. But how I felt: R1 - LB Quay Walker - C+ R1 - DL Devonta Wyatt - A- R2 - WR Christian Watson - C R3 - OL Sean Rhyan - B+ R4 - WR Romeo Doubbs - B R4 - OL Zach Tom - A R5 - Edge Kingsley Enagbare - A+ R7 - S Tariq Carpenter - A- R7 - NT Jonathan Ford - B R7 - OL...

To me, Julio Jones is still the guy to sign. Yeah, he might be washed up, but he's still a prototypical X receiver that is skilled and strong enough to beat press man coverage. No receiver on the roster can do that right now.

I was hoping for Moore, Pickens, or Tolbert.

Tbh, I really dislike the Watson pick. I broadly agree with the consensus of the analysts at PFF, who had him as WR11 and comped him to MVS: he gets dominated at the POC (30% contested catch rate against low level competition), he struggles getting his hips low against press, and he has a really...

I'm guessing it's because of the unique immediacy of the need. When all of those receivers were taken, there were proven starters already on the roster so none of them had to produce their rookie years. I like Tolbert and Skyy Moore so I'm not too worried. I also like the idea of signing Julio.

Javon Walker was a home run. His third season was one of the most dominant receiving seasons ever, logging 1300 yards and a higher yards per target than Davante Adams ever logged in his career. Had he not shredded his knee and had Favre not crossed the picket line on him, he'd probably have...
