As Packers fans, we don't have Free Agency to get excited about, or much drama/excitement really of any kind until late January. So, this really isn't about the Packers, but more so how fortunate we are.

Back in early March, the Eagles signed Sam Bradford to a two year contract worth $35 million ($22 million guaranteed).
Eagles also signed Chase Daniel (worked with Eagles HC Doug Pederson in Kansas City) to a three year $21 million contract ($12 million guaranteed.
Recently the Eagles made the following trade with the Browns.

Eagles get
2016 - 1st round (2nd overall)
2017 - 4th round pick

Browns get
2016 - 1st round (8th overall)
2016 - 3rd round (77th overall)
2016 - 4th round (100th overall)
2017 - 1st round pick
2018 - 2nd round pick


Two problems here. 1, the Eagles spent a lot in various places and probably going to take Carson Wentz 2nd overall and 2, Sam Bradford (who's earned $78 million since 2010) is demanding to be traded. Bradford has played a full season only twice in his entire career and somehow feels he's above competing for his starting job?

If I were Bradford, I would want out of Philadelphia too, but not because of the trade or how pissed off he was when Chase Daniel was signed the contract he got ... no ... I would want out because it is clear as shit the Eagles haven't a damn clue what to do at Quarterback and are just spending, spending and hoping to find an answer.

It just goes to show how fortunate we are to have gone from Brett Favre to Aaron Rodgers when you see teams like the Eagles scrambling so desperately to find their face of the franchise quarterback.

I remember last preseason when Chip Kelly was scheming and running blitzes against vanilla teams playing rookies and scrubs. They looked unbeatable! 🤣

Reminds me of the shit that the Packers did trying to find a quarterback in the years between Bart Starr and Brett Favre.

We have been fortunate to have 20 + years with a HOF caliber QB. That's why it is frustrating that we don't have 4 or more Lombardis to help ease the pain when AR hangs it up.

  • Rams, Browns, Raiders and Bills have gone 11 plus years without even making it to the post season.
  • Bengals, Lions, Bills, Browns and Dolphins have gone at least 15 seasons without a post season victory.
  • Cowboys, Chiefs, Bills, Browns, Dolphins, Lions, Redskins and Bengals haven't even reached the conference game in at least 20 seasons.
  • Cardinals, Lions, Eagles, Titans, Chargers, Bills, Browns, Vikings, Panthers, Jaguars, Falcons, Texans and Bengals NEVER won a Super Bowl.[/list]

  • Over the last 20 seasons, the Super Bowl was won by 11 different teams and only two teams won it more than twice during that time frame.
    [list=1]
  • Patriots 4
  • Broncos 3
  • Packers 2 (should be 3, stupid Broncos)
  • Steelers 2
  • Giants 2
  • Ravens 2
  • Buccaneers 1
  • Rams 1
  • Seahawks 1
  • Saints 1
  • Colts 1[/list]

  • It's obviously a lot harder to be a Super Bowl winner than having a top five quarterback and that's why it's so special. That being said, I can't fight the thought if Mike McCarthy would floor teams into submission the Packers would have at least a 3rd Super Bowl victory over that time period.

    Something useless to mention, Kobe Bryant played 20 seasons and won 5 NBA Championships.

    I do think 2014 could have been their year, but then again the Patriots rarely ever lose twice in a row to the same team. Ted Thompson and staff sure provided all the pieces necessary, but the coaching staff really screwed the pooch in that game.
