Bakhtiari. Just too early to tell about any of the others.
I voted for Watson and Alexander in that order of probability as eventual HOF players - contingent on injury status of course.
The sacred cow might make it, but I sure can't see voting for him as deserving of it.
I'd like to say Aaron Jones too, but there are just too many other great RBs.
Alexander if he stays with the team a few more years without getting hurt
Bahk is pretty much a lock I think
Bakh is already a five time all pro and widely accepted as one of the best. He's got a good shot. I can't see how you can put any of the others ahead of him.
I'll take the opposite on Bak and say he won't. Generally the top 2 or 3 guys in a given decade make it. I think its very clear Joe Thomas and the big donkey out in SF are better players this decade and would make it over Bak.
If Adams is very lucky and stays healthy a good bit longer, he might make it.
Peppers is probably the last HOFer. Woodson before that. They're infrequent, thats for sure!
No love for J-Love?
As the newly anointed Packers Rat Packers historian, allow myself to educate y’all a bit:
Packers history is pretty much defined by the doodling prehistoric eras - from the team’s origin to 1992, including the Lombardi era - and the “Realms” (Reich in German, if my German is correct). The 1st Realm had its birth on September 20, 1992 when a drunk redneck named Bert Favor replaced a mullet-head named Majik, and said redneck subsequently led the Packers to victory in the clutch. On the day Favor infamously was shipped off to Siberia, the 2nd Realm came into existence. And then history repeated itself: Favor’s replacement, the psychedelic tea drinker and darkness retreat survivor, The Great Arm of Butte, too, was infamously shipped off to Siberia. Hence, the dawn of the 3rd Reich, err, Realm.
Will Love and the 3rd Realm be as glorious as the preceding Realms? All Love has to do is win a fluke Super Bowl to ensure himself a HOF bust.
So out of touch with the past:
Packers 1929-1944 : 6 world championships
Packers 1960-1967 : 5 world championships
Don't mix Favre's teams with the above. Curly Lambeau and Bart Starr still are the two best qb's to ever lead the Packers.
Expansion, free agency and the salary cap deter championships in the modern era. In other words, it is more difficult to win Super Bowls today. Hence, an argument for why TB12 is the GOAT.Quote:
