You do sound critical and there are some threads that I don't post my opinion in the #1 thread post on purpose. The reason is often that I don't want to bias that thread in any certain direction. I do often add my own view sometimes after enough sides have been presented.

This thread I hoped that by flatley stating from the start which player I believe will have a breakout season, Kevin King, that it would encourage others to be bold as well. Some have followed my lead, while others have continued to be non-exclusive with their post.

We all hope that GB's draft choices will help the Packers be successful. This thread ask for a specific player that you feel will raise their level of play in 2018 and be the Packers new shining star.

It's terrible when you won't even accept a complement or that I can't express an opinion. I could say more but you will only take it wrong because you look to take everything I say and turn it around. That's your privilege. I can live with it.

But at the season end, HaHa and especially Randall were complaining that certain guys were getting playing time despite not playing within the system, and they weren't being held accountable... They wouldn't name who they were talking about, but rumor has it, that it was Jones.


If Josh Jones gets used as a LB, or LB hybrid, then he could have a huge break out season.

Josh's head was swimming. It was extremely misguided to make him play as many positions as he did last season, and having Marwin Evans, for example, exclusively playing special teams. My hope is that the new defensive staff is more practical and proactive.

My understanding with how Pettine likes his CB's to play this would bode well for King. Not to say he doesn't have the athletic ability to improve in other areas but that takes time.

As much emphasis there is on the upcoming draft I think that the 2017 class stepping up to contribute at a higher level is a huge key for overall team improvement. King, Biegel, Adams, and Jones were all injured yet showed they belong in the limited chances they had.

Some one player "breaking out" like Martinez did last year would be awesome but the 2017 class coming back and bringing more to the table would be just as huge and not unrealistic to believe will happen.
So my breakout player is King and my dark horse is Biegel who I think will be like a kid in a candy store under Pettine. If this holds true what a shot in the arm for the Packers that would be.
