    These guys are going to have to keep proving it, but it's starting to look like we have at least a couple emerging stars.


    Clay Matthews. The guy looks like a dominant superstar at times. He plays fast and furious.

    Jermichael Finley. Big, strong, fast, great hands. Finley has displayed rare talent this year for his position.

    BJ Raji. He's just starting to come on, but the last few games, he's stood out as a dominating force at times. He'll have to stay healthy and work hard, but he's showing signs of being a dominant player inside.



    This team has to keep maturing, keep working on getting more consistent, but if you buy into the "playmaker" theory that a lot of NFL front office people believe, the Packers have added a few impact guys that could put us over the top.

    You forgot Brad Jones. Hes playing well too

    One of the best draft classes for the packers that I have seen in awhile. IMO.

      And don't forget TJ Lang and Brad Jones.

      Here's a good article on Jones:



      Unless I'm mistaken, we had three rookies starting on defense today.
      One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

        How about Sitton?

          Sitton's excellent. Wasn't he from last year's rookie crop?

            Even more impressive:

            The Packers have 7 current starters from the '06 squad (and at a time - 9 including Al and Kampy). Only Manuel and Williams are gone.

            Young, consistent and with loads of potential. Just need to retain some of these guys (specifically Collins) and hope that we stay healthly through Jan.
            The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have.
