Biggest reason for optimism? Biggest worry?

Anyone with any football knowledge at all would have to put QB as the main concern.

ANyone who doens't understand that really hasn't followed this game that much or have just been blinded by good QB play for the last 2 decades.

Countless guys have been drafted in the first round. Most have failed.
Rodgers could be the next bradshaw but more than likely will be an Akili Smith.
Thats why I was very pleased we drafted 2 qbs

Optimism? Offensive line. Its year three in developing our guards and odds are in this year someone will finally step forward. It took Rivera and Wahle three years, hopefully we see that jump this year.

Pessimism? Defensive line. Jolly's drinking Purple Drank. Williams is gone, Harrell is injured. They may not be as good this year, nor as deep. And I don't see the pass rush improving. I fear 3rd down yet again.

Favre was the next Bradshaw. I am hoping Aaron Rodgers is the next Ken O'Brien.

Ken O'brien ? Maybe my memory is bad, but he stands out to me as never being too good

While I concur with your concerns regarding the DL, I think they have something cooked up for 3rd downs. They practiced a lot of LB blitz packages during the OTC's and considering Poppinga's new contract, I think we should expect a lot more of our pressure to come outside the defensive line.

Optimism: the passing game. Our number of weapons just seems to keep growing. If we can keep up our downfield blocking and YAC, guys like Lee, Humphrey, and Jones are going to be monster performers this year.

[The Shadow]

Optimism : youngest team in the NFL just one bad pass away from the Super Bowl, masterful salary cap management, continuing influx of talent, a tough administration willing to make the tough calls.

Concern : Al Harris.

[packers11]

Optimism : Youngest team in NFL, emerging NFL studs.

Concern : Bob Sanders - Can you get a bit more creative ???
Kurt Schottenheimer - Why are you still here ???

[Zool]

Optimism: hell im a sports fan, im optimistic every year about everything

Concern: D-Tackles and O-guard situation. Harrell is out for an unknown timeframe. Not even sure if/when Jolly will be allowed to report, though it seems like he hasnt been detained.

Its always the lines that scare me. 2 weeks from now we'll all probably have different opinions.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Concerned: DT, Rodgers durability
Optimistic: Everything else

[BallHawk]

Optimistic: Rodgers, LBs, Emerging secondary players, Ruvell Martin

Concern: Harrell, Nick Collins, aging CBs (Harris)

[Partial]

Optimistic - McCarthy is a good coach, Chad Clifton and Chuck Woodson are lights out

Concerns - Offense cannot score without Favre, everything else.

[woodbuck27]

As a possible suprise positive, I think we could see no drop off at QB and that could shock a lot of Packer fans who worship Brett Favre and think he's irreplacable.

Your NOT serious?

[3irty1]

Optimistic
Offense should still be best in division by a long shot.

Concern
Age and depth at CB
Injury, shitiness, and dumbassness at DT
Long Snapper who sucks way more than Rob Davis

[The Leaper]

Hope: more experienced roster top to bottom, greater depth

Concern: first time starter at QB, lack of consistent pass rush
