Better overall situation (Vikings or Packers)
0The Vikings, they are better now and I see no reason why they won't be for a while0%0The Packers, they are a very similar quality team to the Vikings, have a more stable QB situation and have more young talent0%0Formerly known as JustinHarrell.Tags: None

I think it's pretty hard not to vote for the Packers here; both have good talent. The Vikes too hit gold in the draft last year.
But they lost their MLB for a while in EJ Henderson and certainly we'd rather have AROD for the next 6-10 years than Favre for another couple years max.TERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWER

Ted Thompson has made magic before. Each year, we go into a season with some huge concern and each year, it seems, that concern is completely unwarranted.
A few years ago it was Safety and WR. Boom, Jennings, Collins, Bigby emerge. Then it was RB. Boom, Grant emerges. Then it was DL/OLB last year. Boom Jolly, Raji, Matthews, Jones, Chillar and BARNETT!! emerge.
This year it's OT, #4 CB, punter and depth or playmakers all over. Unlike years past, this team is poised to lock up a lot of young talent. This young talent is starting to mature into dominate veteran talent.
Cheesner, Vince, myself. . . . Many of us have argued Thompson's good talent evaluation would keep us competitive year after year but that it would ultimately have an accumulating effect with the good financial decisions and good draft picks leading to more talent fitting under the cap (even uncapped year has budgets across league) and ultimately an opportunity to have more talent than any team in the NFL. That's what we're about to hit. That window opened this year. We're still the youngest. We still haven't seen any of the accumulation effect. It's more just really good talent evaluation, but soon you're going to see the Packers take that next step. How good they are now, before that step, exudes even more confidence in me than I've ever had in the past.Formerly known as JustinHarrell.

That's some amazing sub 4.3 speed you're using to get off the Viking bandwagon.Teamwork is what the Green Bay Packers were all about. They didn't do it for individual glory. They did it because they loved one another.

I really don't think it's that close for brighter future.
We have a massive advantage at QB for the next 5-10 yrs.
Our defense is young and playing great. MN D is fading from their glory days of recent years. It will be even worse if EJ Henderson can't come back.All hail the Ruler of the Meadow!

Was listen to 670 yesterday and they had the Announcer for the Vikings on. He said that Favre will keep the Viking hostage all off season just like the Packers had to endure. He said that the Vikings might be willing to wait up until the 4th game of the season.

I fully expect him to keep everyone hanging and the Vikes to not really care one way or the other up until camp. I wouldn't be surprised to see them draft a QB next year. Personally, it didn't matter this year so why would it matter next.Originally posted by pack4to84Was listen to 670 yesterday and they had the Announcer for the Vikings on.

Not sure the question is worded best for me. I think both have lots of young talent. No reason Pack and Vikes shouldn't both be playoff bound next year. Pack definitely have QB settled for long term, but that's not always the going to swing things in their favor. I would expect them both to dominate the division for the next 6 years. Div winner will likely switch back and forth a few times.

If that wasn't a PG site, I am sure Chilly would be trying to please him in other ways.
Not even close, the Vikes have more key players who are in decline. Allen, Williams 1 and 2, are all declining. They have a few young stars, though. No tellilng if they can hit it big in the draft a few more times. Their biggest difficulty, though, is a future QB. I think having Brett around may have hurt their development.
The Packers only players who may decline are both CBs and Pickett. And we have good depth behind Pickett, not so much with the CBs. I have more confidence in TT bringing in some talent to fill these roles than I do for Minny finding talent.
