Instead of needs What are your reasons for hope?

[Bretsky]

PLAYMAKERS; I was worried with TT's philosophy he would never hit on enough draft pix only to have difference makers.

But the Finley picks and Matthews Picks are going to be HUGE; you can build around that type of talent for a long time. Already have Rodgers...Woodsen for hopefully a while. Nick Collins...TT won't let him go.
Jennings

Sitton is future Pro Bowl Material

We should have lots of difference makers on Offense for a while.

We may need one or two more on the other side.....but wow...great start

Aaron Rodgers

I could probably stop there.

I like the way Grant was running, and I still think Grant & Jackson are a good 1/2 combo.

WR's are stacked, minus the drops

Jermichael Finley...dude might be a gem for Teddy.

I'm concerned at Tackle still as I think Clifton and Tauscher are done, that's my opinion. I like Lang & Sitton. Hopefully Spitz can come back. And who knows what Colledge will give you, he's so up and down.

Gotta love Jenkins, Raji, & Jolly. If we can bring Pickett back, bonus.

Matthews = Stud!
Barnett & Hawk are solid inside, and were getting better as the year progressed.
Jones is a decent option, but would like to find an upgrade.

Woodson...duh.
Harris & Williams are solid 2/3.
If Underwood progresses, and Pat Lee can show something, that'd be bonus.

Collins is a top 10 Safety.

I don't like Bigby at all, and we have no other option right now.

Crosby will have a good year next year.

New punter.

PLAYMAKERS

YES...this is one thing I've said since 2007. We don't have that play maker, or that ok, I'm going to win the game now guy besides Rodgers. Jennings has it in him, but he just made those playmaker plays for the first real time sunday that was totally him.

I'd love a Chris Johnson type, which is why I think I really like Best from Cal, cause I think he'd give us that type of guy.

Finley might become a guy like that for us. I love that guy.

My reason for hope is that all my friends who are fans of other teams actually gush about my team and fear playing them next year.

[ND72]

Our hope lies in Aaron Rodgers, and the entire NFL is seeing this. Friend of mine at school(work) said, "you know, I lived through the entire Brett Favre era, now I have to live through Aaron Rodgers, who is right now as good or better than Favre ever was."


As long as we give him an OL, and some weapons, if we can build us one tough Defense, Rodgers becomes that much more dangerous.

[denverYooper]

I have hope for Quinn Johnson. He might be fun to watch next year.

[retailguy]

As long as we give him an OL,

Bang the drum my friend! I hate this OL. I have always hated this OL. They tease us, then regress.

Is there ANYONE here who thinks they'll start strong next year, or is it more likely we will get the same slow crappy start?

Even if you look at the last 8 games performance, it was spotty and best and statistically in the middle of the league average. Sadly, that type of performance "looked good" compared to the awful start to the year.

Josh Sitton is the best of the bunch. Other than that, I'd be up for replacing anybody. TJ Lang looks like he's got great potential, but I wouldn't give 50 cents for the rest of them. It's very sad to watch Cliffy and Tauscher get old. It happens, but it's sad.
