That line has to be based on the huge falloff that was 2013. There is no guarantee that 2017 will be that bad. (Of course that doesn't necessarily mean it will be better, it could be even worse....) For me, a fan who remembers the great disappointment that was 2013 (remember McGinn's preeseason article about how the Packers were finally built to weather a storm?) it is hard to shake the feeling of impending doom that has settled over this team. If there is indeed a collapse then 2017 will have been a strong indictment of TT's drafting prowess. But I am holding out hope that they will be able to compete with an effective backup QB.
