Does that mean I will have to start ignoring you too 😁

I'ts funny though I agree with much of Ketchman's philosophy I just don't care for the way he presents it. He just comes across as a real... Well let me put it this way. Remember the saying "if you can't say anything nice about someone don't say anything at all" Well this is what I have to say about Vic

Anyway, I agree with most of you here. This rebuilding talk is crazy. I have to admit, with even high round rookie CBs usually not making that big an impact and a rather bad batch of FAs left at the position, I don't see how we're going to fix this.

I do know that we still have one of the most competetive teams and have the draft still coming up. A Packers speciality.

My guess is wr.

He will go heavy on defense in the draft, and Will rely on the guys who have been in the system to step up and shore up the holes left by FA losses.
Like it or not, today's NFL is all about scoring points.

Something The Packers can do.

There Will be a lot of stat whoring, early as the defense Will need time to gell.

Those of you who think the loss of Williams and Hawk from The defense won't have an effect are going to find out just how important it is to have players who can show up every week and grind out a season.

Both those guys played through injuries, only missing 4 games total in their careers.

Time waits for no player, their time was up in Green Bay, hopefully their replacements are ready to step up.

Unless lightning strikes the same place about 3 or 4 times, this team is not going to get better without using FA more. Number of years ago, the draft could drastically improve the roster, but now all the draft is doing is trying to replace guys we drafted a few or number of years ago. With 22 positions between offense and defense, Even if every draft produced 3 starters at positions of need, it would take over 7 years to draft a full starting roster. After 3 or 4 years, those drafted guys are up for contacts and some moving on. Others leave because of age and play.

So now every year, we draft and hope the players end up filling a position of need and make the team better, but in most cases it is at best maintaining the status quo as players leave. Which at least for us the status quo has been pretty good. But of we really want to make a serious push at the SB, we need to improve the team where we can at the top of the depth chart, not the bottom.

I agree that Ted will go heavy on defense. He's been doing that quite a bit in these drafts. Hasn't hit on a Clay Matthews in awhile. Dix could get to that level. Burnett too maybe.
