[QUOTE="toolkien, post: 493989, member: 4637"] I think the Packers should be o.k. in 2013. There's one essential trait, in this modern NFL, for teams to be a top end team - QB rating taken over QB rating given. Regardless of how you accomplish it. And who was #1 in QB rating taken over given in 2012? Green Bay. They've been at the top end in that stat for years, they were even 6th in that stat in 2008. This modern NFL is about making the playoffs and then winning the turnover margin once in. The Packers should make the playoffs, and there's little guarantee for the second part. The Ravens were just a short hair better than the Packers in 2012-2013 and they won it all, because they won the turnover margin. Every team has strengths and every team has holes. It's about hanging onto the ball once single elimination comes around. I certainly don't want the Packers mortgaging the future when they have a more than reasonable chance to make the playoffs as is. Blowing future cap space to increase potency for one or two seasons that are four combined fumbles/ints away from washing out regardless doesn't make sense. They just need to get in and take care of the ball and they have just as good a chance of winning than if they load up on talent paid for with future dollars. And they have just as good a chance of washing out adding greater potency if they turn the ball over four times in a playoff game. [/QUOTE]
