Well, if we did a position by position analysis, our O was really, really good in '05. It was just decimated by injuries.

Walker was our #1 WR. He went down in game 1. Fergie was our #3. Yeah, I'd take James Jones over Fergie in a heartbeat. Chatman was our #4 and I'd take Jordy over Chatman in a heartbeat. But let's not forget, Walker was a top tier WR at the time. He was no slouch. It's just we had no depth.

Our OL was actually better in '05 then it is today. Our OL back then was solid, and one thing I'd have to give credit to Sherman for is he built on heck of an OL.

RBs - To be fair, '05 was really better - Green as our starter was still a productive RB. But he went down right away. Then we had Najeh who I liked a lot but he went down. Then Fisher was our main dude and he went down. Then Gado was looking really good and he went down. In '08, how much depth did we have at RB if Grant went down and Jackson went down?

As for the D, didn't we allow more points in '08 then in '05?

Now as far as depth, I'd take the '08 team easily.

2005 vs 2008
QBs= Favre vs Rodgers Favre gets the nod
Fair
RBs = Green and Henderson vs Grant and Hall advantage green and Hendo
Fair, but Green and Davenport got injured and we had nothing behind them
WRs= Driver and Walker vs Driver and Jennings to be fair its a wash
Walker got injured and we had absolutely zero depth after him and DD, I don't agree
TE=Franks vs Lee i say Franks
I'd say more of a wash because Lee has better catching ability and stretched the field more, yet is a worse blocker
LT = is a wash it was clifton for both
Fair
LG = Wells vs Colledge i say Wells
Why? Seriously? Wells is not a better G than Colledge
C = Flannagan vs Wells experience wins with Flannagan
Fair
RG = Whitticker vs Spitz ill take Spitz on this
Fair
RT= a wash seeing it was Taucher both years
Fair


K= Longwell vs Crosby Longwell wins
Fair, although this was the year he started whining about holders
P= Sander vs Frost both suck lol
Completely agree LOL!
KR = Chatman vs Blackmon i'm going with another push
You were going along fine until this one...Blackmon averaged 11.1/return and had 2 TDs. Chatman had a TD but only averaged 8.5. No, I don't think it's a wash.

LE = wash AK for both years
Fair
LDT = Jackson vs Pickett I'm saying another wash
Fair
RDT = Jenkins vs Jolly I have to take Cullen in this
I don't know if you can count this if he's playing another position...
RE = KGB vs Montgomery KGB no doubt
Monty was really not the starter here
LLB = Diggs vs Poppinga going with a push
I would actually give Diggs a little advantage here
MLB = is a wash seeing it was Barnett
Fair
RLB = Thomas vs Hawk have to go with Hawk
Fair
CB = Carroll and Harris vs Harris and Woodson no brainer here
Fair
FS= Roman vs Rouse i'll take Roman
Actually, Collins played FS this year, Collins gets the advantage no doubt
SS = i just made it a wash because collins played fs in 2005
Roman played SS and he was absolutely terrible. I'd take Rouse over him any day

So the way i see it the 2005 team was better, with 9 checks to only 2 for 2008 and 9 pushes.


In case your wondering i picked the 05 team and now i'm showing why i say it. So have fun remember we were killed with injuries in the key spots that year in WRS and RBS hell Gado came from being a school teacher like 2 weeks before he started a game.

I still don't understand how people can say we are so deep with talent? Is it because you know the name of the players on last year because from what i seen it isn't that deep. But i guess you have your opinions on Potential from your belief. Btw hows this if Rodgers goes down who do we have?


Now go lay on that egg lol.

The thing is though, is anyone willing to acknowledge my point that there were some positions that were actually better in '05 than '08?
