I've sort of developed a new philosophy, inspired by what Bill Belichick does.
As long as you have a marquee QB, which we do, then just give him the basic blocks. He has a great RB in Eddie Lacy. And then he needs an offensive line that'll keep him upright.
And then the defense? Fill it with stars. Clay Matthews is one. The defensive line has promise. The safeties need a lot of work.
This is where I'll get heat... who cares about who the WRs are. If Rodgers is half as good as we make him out to be, his wide receivers don't matter. It's the same case with Tom Brady. He's been going to Super Bowls with a bunch of nobodies for years. Rodgers should be making everybody around him better. His numbers won't be as pretty, but with an elite defense they should be able to pick up the slack.
At least that's how I look at it.
