All I read is a bunch of gossip statements that really have no value. Most experts have us in the top 5 of the power rankings, and from his view the only 3 positions we are comfortable in are FB, TE, and WR. Two of them probably being the least valuable positions to build a team off of. Most teams would love to have a Probowl QB with a team drafted 3rd year system guy waiting in the wings.

You disregard gossip statements from one media guy yet put stock into power rankings? I've always thought power rankings (especially in August for crying out loud) are a complete waste of time.

As for your avatar, that is actually the British women's bobsleigh team 🙂 :pottytrain1:

No such thing as a perfect team. I wish people would get over this idea of perfection. Even the 72 Dolphins had weaknesses.

As far as the Packers go.

Their weakness is pass rush and secondary depth.

With the pass rush, they're going to rely on Clay Matthews, B.J. Raji, and Cullen Jenkins to get it done. Most importantly, they're going to rely on the scheme to generate pressure. That's been done before and it'll be done again. Whether the Packers can do that remains to be seen. I have no idea. I haven't seen enough to form an opinion on who's improved and who hasn't. I also don't know what Dom Capers has up his sleeve. We'll just have to wait and see.

For the record, every team is thin after their first few corners. GB is no exception. I like Woodson and I think Tramon Williams has made some strides this preseason. We'll see though. When Al Harris is back, I think he'll take time to get back to full strength. He may never return to that form actually. Still, there is a weakness there.

As well as the LBs, Green Bay's LBs are awful in coverage. Most LBs are but I'd argue the Pack have some of the worse covering LBs in football.

However, if you generate pressure up front, then you can disguise your weakness in the secondary or at LB much easier. Solid pressure can make a below average secondary look above average. In the case of Green Bay, I think the Packers have a solid secondary, so you can imagine what pressure would do for them.

I say we make a trade offer to denver for Brady Quinn, he is going to be 3rd string in Denver so it shouldn't be to bad
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

This thought definitely crossed my mind, but if he ends up being relegated to 3rd string in Denver behind orton and tebow, would he be better than flynn at that point, (starting experience or not).

I'm still confused if it's crack shadow or thong strap, I haven't slept well in weeks. Anyone have any inside information?

And British, I put very little stock in the power rankings as their usually ass backwards by week 10, just saying more of the pro's put us in the elite category and Vandermause makes it sound like were just starting a rebuild. I'd love to read his Position breakdown of a bottom tier team.

Yep. And this year in particular, just about every team's got some glaring issue. The Vikings have their o-line and receivers to worry about - a very different outlook than a year ago. Bears - o-line and defense. Lions - well, they're the Lions and they're rebuilding. I don't see the Packers as having more or bigger question marks than any other team.

I'd have to say if Flynn would probably outshine Quinn for the preseason and first few games of the season if necessary, but once Quinn settled into the playbook and team chemistry he would have a much higher upside. The guys a freak athlete.

Vikings WR problems? They just got J. Walker to replace Rice for the first half of the year. I mean they are set right?

FINALLY, when the subject of areas of weakness comes up people are looking at the other teams and seeing that they have more issues than we do for the most part.

Yes, the Vikes first 22 are pretty darn good, but behind that it's not so hot and this year they don't start out with four or five gimmie's in a row. I can see it turning to purple sludge up there with Rice out and Harvin's headaches and the dream they lived in last year turning badly for them quickly.

And we all know from the Sherman years what happens when you have a good 22 and no depth.

When people say they like Minnesota's 22, that doesn't mean they like every single player. I happen to see major weaknesses on the offensive line and at safety. But the biggest problem the Vikings have is coaching. I have never bought into Brad Childress.

Ironically, the No. 2 team in terms of talent IMO is Dallas. And they have the same problem. Offensive line and safety. Plus, their coaching isn't top notch.

Obviously I'm talking head coaches. I think Leslie Frazier is the real deal.
