The Packers win another SB ? Or Aaron Rodgers wins his 2nd MVP?
depends, do they announce MVP before the SB or after?The Packers win another SB ? Or Aaron Rodgers wins his 2nd MVP?

The NFL announces the MVP during their annual award show the day before the Super Bowl.
then to answer the OP, its the MVP first.
I don't think him winning the MVP has any effect on winning a Superbowl. That said, he probably won't have "MVP numbers" because our running game has become one of the very best, if not THE best in the NFL. The potential 1-2-3 punch of Lacy, Starks and Harris could prove nearly impossible to stop.Interesting you should say that because the last time the regular season MVP also won the SB was all the way back in 1999. Think it was actually Kurt Warner if I'm not mistaking. The year Rodgers won I was for certain that team was at least going to the SB...womp womp boy did they fool me smh. I'd rather him not win the MVP .
Really, what makes you believe this? The percentage of running plays versus pass called by the Packers has increased over each of the past three seasons. Despite only a 1% increase in running calls in 2013, production in the running game (due to Lacy) spiked. First downs by running plays went from 28% to 37% while rushing TDs went from 18% to 40%.Even with 3 solid backs this offense is still a pass 1st offense.

I'm not sure that anyone can definitively say that Green Bay will remain a pass-first offense, so I wonder what your reasoning is for stating such. Many people call McCarthy a pass-first coach, but he's never had an above average RB in all of his seasons as coach.
Lacy's running style is recklessly violent but I find it interesting you post he's unproven (the only caveat regarding him is staying healthy IMO) in the same post you write, "Our WR group goes like 6 deep. Not just 6 guys, but 6 quality guys." Just exactly who are those guys? Do you think the 7th and/or 8th WR who may or may not make it to the PS are also "quality guys"? Will any of the newcomers also be injury prone?We have the best quarterback in the league. A pass happy league. Our WR group goes like 6 deep. Not just 6 guys, but 6 quality guys. I think that it's safe to say we'll remain pass first.
I do like our RB group, but Lacy is still unproven. One good, healthy year is a good start. Not a guarantee that he's an elite back. He still is going to run recklessly violent, he still has those same injury red flags... love him though I do, I am only cautiously optimistic that he can have a healthy career. Harris is still largely unproven. Franklin unproven. Starks oft-injured. We have an intriguing group of backs, but nothing I'd bank on over our passing game.

Yes I know who the Packers WRs are. That's why IMO it's optimistic in the extreme to call six of them quality NFL receivers when we don’t know who the six are. Certainly White, Harper, or Dorsey have a chance at beating out Janis for the #6 spot if they keep 6, don’t they? BTW, getting Harper, a 4th round pick in the 2013 draft for nothing is also insane, isn’t it? Anyway is whoever wins that #6 job a quality NFL WR? If so, what do you base that upon? Or isn’t it really the case that the Packers have two very good/excellent receivers in Nelson and Cobb, one receiver who showed some potential last season and a slew of receivers who haven’t caught a pass in an NFL game (except for White who has 9 receptions)?Nelson, Cobb, and Adams is 3 2nd round guys. That alone at one offensive position is insane. Boykin has at least shown he can be very good, but he needs to repeat it with ARod. We committed highway robbery with our selections of Abbrederis and Janis getting both 2-3 rounds lower than projected. You know who our receivers are, I hardly think I need to read the roster for you.
I think I understand where you guys are coming from. What's happened in the past will be what happens in the future. I don't think that I'll be taking any stock tips from this group. Trends aren't forever

Quality athletes that have either produced already on the NFL stage or were highly regarded coming out of college. We're going to be cutting guys that some teams would start. Do we really need to debate my use of the word "quality?" The point is, we have more talent and more proven talent in the passing game than the running game. I love our RBs, but I don't trust a single one of them to stay healthy.
No, the Packers won't be cutting a WR who will start (be one of the top 2 or 3 WRs) for another team.We're going to be cutting guys that some teams would start.
