  • T.E.D's Packers Report Card: Offense

    Now that the great Bob McGinn has graded the Packers, it is T.E.D's turn. For the clueless, T.E.D stands for Tank Elf Duke.

    Quarterbacks (grade in parenthesis):


    Rodgers (C)- Like it or not everything Rodgers does in his career will be compared to the G.O.A.T...As the world turns, Rodgers' career path is deviating further and further away from Favre's - for the worse...In his first playoff game, Rodgers overthrew a WIDE OPEN Greg Jennings in the clutch, a costly mistake that eventually cost the Packers their playoff game against Kurt Warner; by comparison, in the G.O.A.T's first playoff game he connected with a WIDE OPEN Sterling Sharpe, an awesome throw that eventually beat Barry Sanders...After the G.O.A.T won his first Super Bowl, he led the Packers back to the Super Bowl; after Rodgers won his first Super Bowl, he led the Packers to a very fucking 1 and Done...Favre, as reigning NFL MVP, played like an MVP; Rodgers, as reigning MVP, played like a rookie who had no fucking clue how to beat the two shell defense...Rodgers also held the ball longer than it takes Bob Dole to play a round of golf...The G.O.A.T, single-highhandedly might I add, beat the shit out of the FuckingNiners the first time he played them in the playoffs; Rodgers, well, he got his shit beaten by the FuckingNiners.

    Harrell (D-)- Was terrible in the pre-season; was terrible in his token appearances during the regular season...Despite the many sacks Rodgers took, he was able to display G.O.A.T toughness...Thank Deity.

    Runningbacks:


    DuJuan Harris (A) - In the show "King of the Hill" John Redcorn is always known as 'John Redcorn.' Likewise, I will refer to DuJuan Harris by his full name...DuJuan Harris is THAT awesome...DuJuan Harris came out of nowhere and took the league by storm...That someone called him a "Tyrell Sutton" clone is laughable...DuJuan Harris should be the Packers' feature back in 2013...1,600+ yards and 15+ tds in 2013...Bank on it.

    Benson (B-) - Was giving the Packers a respectable run game until his injury...Kinda bittersweet b/c the injury gave DuJuan Harris an opportunity...Wouldn't hurt to bring Benson back next season.

    Green (C) -
    Rare as it was, Green showed glimpses of Adrian Peterson at times...But it was an illusion...Would make a great 3rd down back.

    Kuhn (D) - Not the short-yardage back he once was...Couldn't gain a yard on those stupid FB dives to save his 8 inch sword...Why the fuck was he still playing on third downs?...Yo McRetardy, d-coordinators don't blitz you anymore!

    Starks (D-) - Was more injury-prone than Don Majikowski.

    Wide Receivers:

    Cobb (A-)
    - Did everything except punt and kick the ball...Negative? Averaged less than 12 yards a catch.

    Jones (B+) - Was a touchdown machine...Nice guy, good player...But as a GM, I'd trade Jones and keep Jennings.

    Nelson (B)
    - Biggest and most physical player on the roster....Yet, was even more fragile than Jennings.

    Jennings (C) - When healthy, this guy is elite...I'd trade Jones and keep Jennings.

    Boykins (D) - Ran up and down the field a few times on special teams...Not a bad way to make 6 figures.

    Driver (D) - Clearly, the Packers were preparing Driver for a coaching gag when he retires.

    Ross (D-) -
    Got some folks a bit hard in the two games he played against the Vikings...Then went to The Castro and laid a big fucking egg.

    Tight Ends:

    J-Mike (B+) - Would be putting up huge numbers in an offense like New England's or New Orleans...Was open at least a dozen times a game but the extremely sensitive Rodgers didn't bother to look J-Mike's way...Go J-Mike!...Go J-Mike! (And go J-Walk!)

    Crabtree (C) - With body full of tattoos, Crabtree made a few nice plays here and there.

    Williams (D+)
    - Wrestled a cow but played like a cowgirl...What does the cowgirl position look like when one wrestles a cow?...LOL. I am fucking funny.

    Taylor (D-)
    - This guy was on the team? Ted Thompson loves tight ends, literally.

    Quarless (INC) - Ball dropped. Incomplete.

    Offensive Line:


    F - What a pathetic, iniquitous, nefarious, fraudulent bunch of fat guys...Except for maybe Sitton everyone else is replaceable and should be replaced...Oh, btw, fire Champen...Mike Tice is a available.

    What in the hell does a throw from 2009 have to do with this year? Yeah, let's dump the reigning MVP. We can always sign Timmy Tebow and our QB problems will disappear. You, sir, are a freaking moron. Quit living in the damn past and get over the loss of Favre already!

      Legand; You have your facts wrong (no surprise).

      After the real G.O.A.T. won his first championship, he took them back and WON again; and before his career was up he took them back and WON again, and WON again, and WON again.

      After the photographer/model won his first championship, he took them back and lost, then disappeared from playoff significance except for the games he botched.

        Rodgers' career will always be pitted against Favre's. That's just the way it is. Right now the G.O.A.T has the upper hand.

        Rodgers took the monkey off his back by winning SB 45 with a 10-6 team, a team that lost to hapless, tasteless teams like Washington, Detroit and Miami. But Rodgers is still living in the shadow of the G.O.A.T, Brett Favre. Just compare the facts and you'll see why.

          Sorry pal, Favre is not the GOAT of this franchise let alone the league.

            Every time Tank brings up Favre, he is totally disrespecting the legend and doesn't even know it.

            Favre is a top 5 QB all time in the NFL and was one of the top 3 most entertaining football players ever. I am a huge Montana fan but lets be realistic it was a lot easier to win championships before free agency, and he also had the best football player ever to throw the ball to. Plus, he had one of the 3 best coaches ever. I am sure everyone can imagine how many more championships Favre could have had a better opportunity at winning if Holmgren would have stayed along with Ron Wolf. Montana was great but when comparing players remember they all played in different eras that has as much of an impact as anything else.

              No way Bart Starr is the G.O.A.T when all he did was hand the ball off to a couple of HOF runningbacks. And Starr's claim to fame was a selfish act: instead of handing the ball off as called, Starr took the sneak in the "Ice Bowl."

              Its harder to win championships today than back then. That's why the G.O.A.T only have 1 ring; 3 if you include NFC Title games.

                The STATS say Favre is the G.O.A.T.

                Winningiest qb. Most passing yards. Passing TD king. Iron man. On and on.

                  Keep choppin' wood.

                  You do realize that one of those leads to the others, right?

                    The greatest stat ever for Favre is the consecutive starts. For a team to rely on a QB suiting up each week regardless of personal, or physical ailments is unbelievable. Each week the Packers had a player that could single handed win a football contest show up. Rodgers has also been fantastic with keeping himself in the starting lineup. He has only missed one game due to injury in 5 years. That is remarkable, although not surprising in today's NFL.

                      Yup, and not likely to be matched with today's emphasis on injuries, especially concussions. Not to take anything away from his amazing record, but Favre had a few concussions, too. Who knows if he would have cleared the tests under today's practices. It seems more and more players are out at least the following week for a concussion.

                      Just another example of how quickly the "eras" change in the NFL, and why it is difficult to compare players on stats alone. Favre set his record when lots of other QBs couldn't. Manning had an impressive streak going, then missed an entire season,

                      The long and short of it is that the Packer fans have been as lucky as anyone to have darn good QB play over the last 50+ years:

                      Starr 1960 - 1970
                      Dickey 1976 - 1985
                      Majkowski 1987 - 91
                      Favre 1992 - 2007
                      Rodgers 2008 - present

                      Granted, Dickey and Majkowski missed a lot of games, but were as exciting to watch as the others when they did play. To go from Dickey to Majkowski to Favre to Rodgers with only one full year of Randy Wright has spoiled Packer fans.

                        There are six QB's who have missed 2 or fewer starts in the last five years.

                        Manning, Flacco and Rivers have made 80 starts. Brees has 79 (Rodgers would be here if not for day off prior to Lions game). 78 includes Rodgers. Ryan is at 77.
                        Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

                          You can do better than to just repeat total number stats. You make him sound like Pete Rose. Unless you think Pete Rose was the best baseball player ever?

                            The Packers' GOAT has a ring for each finger on his throwing hand. tinkerbelle's boyfriend has one and is the league's leader in playoff INTs with 30.

                              you have to go to a lot of playoff games to throw that many interceptions.
