It's been a little over a week since the 2009 Green Bay Packers' season came to an end and some fans might still be disappointed for not seeing the green and gold make a run in the postseason. I think it's time to cheer-up because the future in Green Bay, on paper, appears to be extremely bright once again. Last year, at this time, it was foggy at best.

The 09 Packers, in my view, compare favorably to the 1995 Green Bay Packers. At the time, Packer fans may of been disappointed in how the Packers' season ended. A loss to the rival Cowboys in the third straight postseason left some Packer fans on edge. A year later, however, Green Bay hoisted the Lombardi Trophy for the first time in 30 years. The 95 Packers went from becoming a disappointment to just a piece of the puzzle. An important piece that was needed to complete the puzzle. . [url=index.php?name=Pro_News&aid=127]full article[/url].

We are sitting pretty good. This next year is going to depend on two factors. Improvement of the young guys and a great draft. Free agency is going to suck ass.

This should be right up Ted's alley.
The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

Nice article, porky. I agree with you, and I like your list. I especially like that you put Josh Sitton on there, as his solid play went mostly unnoticed this season. I think T.J. Lang is going to be that same kind of player, probably at the right tackle position. Mostly what the Packers need is another good young tackle and a good young CB. Then they will have young talent at every position except RB.

You mention that Finley could use some improvement in his blocking. I'm not sure if that's true, but even if it is, I don't think it's relevant. Does Dallas Clark need to improve his blocking? The point is that Finley is far more valuable to the offense as a receiving threat than as a blocker, and he usually lines up wide anyway.

Finley isn't bad at blocking, but he won't be known for it either as you state. His ability at receiver is what makes him so good. As I said, might be the best receiving talent at TE the NFL has seen. He's that special IMO.
