    Zero To Hero: Green Bay

    Green Bay

    There are three reasons to embrace this team: 1) It lost seven games by four points or fewer; 2) It has a franchise quarterback in place; and 3) It plays in the NFC North, where anything is possible. The Packers are only one year removed from the club that reached the NFC Championship Game and it looks as if they have a reliable quarterback in Aaron Rodgers.

    He wasn't the reason the club swooned last season; the league's 20th-ranked defense was, with a 24-21 loss to Houston Exhibit A. Texans' quarterback Matt Schaub threw for 414 yards, and running back Steve Slaton ran for 120. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that you can't win while hemorrhaging over 500 yards to an opponent. That's why the Packers jumped at the chance to hire Dom Capers as defensive coordinator. Of course, having Capers means switching to a 3-4 alignment, and that may take some adjusting.

    The Packers could use another pass rusher. They could use a defensive tackle. They could use a cornerback. Maybe two. They need help, which is why the NFL invented free agency and the draft and why the club reached out to Capers. This team is not far away, and with Minnesota and Chicago in front of them moving to the front of the class is not out of the question.
    "There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great. But quite frankly, most of the people that are commenting on it don't know anything about what they are talking about."--Ted Thompson

    We could use a corner? Maybe TWO?!
    What is this guy smoking?

    I actually agree with everything else though.

      Not this season maybe, but in the not to distant future he is right. We need o-linemen more than cb's right now.

        That can't be true. The know-it-all Partial says it was all Rodgers fault. What a hack journalist.

          Teams regularly go from unimpressive records in one season to superbowl contenders in the next.

          The Cardinals went from 8-8 in 2007 to the Super Bowl in 2008.
          The Panthers went from 7-9 in 2007 to 12-4 in 2008.
          The Falcons went from 4-12 in 2007 to 11-5 in 2008.
          The Ravens went from 5-11 in 2007 to 11-5 in 2008.

          Nobody should really be Surprised if the Packers go from 6-10 in 2008 to 11-5 or so in 2009. We have needs, but we have a lot of key pieces.

            Partial IS the authority on this one. Maybe this guy should have done his homework before posting such a blatantly untrue article.

            I'm sending him a letter.

              I think the partial references are pretty classless.

              that said, they've been making the Vikings paper champions for YEARS. How is this any different?

                Partial threw some darts at Rodgers; but I don't ever recall him saying it was "ALL" his fault. Correct me if I'm wrong.

                    No, not yet, but it will come to me

                    I've been pondering all of this.

                    I fully endorsed AJ Hawk; even wrote an article for PR endorsing the selection of Hawk over V Davis.

                    Am I the reason for his underperformance ????

                      He never explictly said it was all Rodgers fault. But he blamed the offense and the only name that came up in the blame was ARod's so do the math.

                      OK. You're the only Know-it-all. Check.

                        Yes. Now curse Matt Stafford immediately so he ends up being the next Joey Harrington in Detroit. Thanks in advance

                          Exactly. He never said it was all Rodgers fault, but seeing as how I don't have enough fingers and toes to count the number of times he said the problems this year were an anemic offense led by a merely average quarterback, I'd say the implications were pretty clear.

                          And I am a know-it-all as well, just like all July babies are. I thought everybody knew that...
