Why Packers should keep Clay Matthews in 2018.

[mraynrand]

Too lazy at this moment to do the math, but the math says that with a Brady or a Rodgers, your odds of winning more than a fluke Super Bowls are excellent via Belichickism. Just gotta be smart with the cap, ala Belichick.

And while I'm not Nostradamus, I'm fairly certain that the Packers would've won more than a fluke Super Bowl by now in this century had Thompson acquired pimps like Jimmy G, Tony G, V-Dave, Beast Mode, Randy Fucking Moss, and Revis Island when he had the chance. Hell, Packers might've won the SB last season had the Polar Bear signed Cro while bums like Gunter, Randall, Goodson, Hyde and Rollins were disgracing the corner position.

You may be right, but you can't be lazy - you do have to do the math to see who and what you can afford and the long-term ramifications. Belichickism™ requires math.

We should risk the "cap hell" that some people whine about while we still have Aaron Rodgers playing at a top level. Then when he is gone, either it will take care of itself because his big contract is gone too, or else we suffer for a couple of years - which we probably would anyway when he's gone, but the ride to get there will be worth it.

With the way the Zombies (e.g. mindless folks) of planet Earth are feeding the greedy, fat capitalists in the NFL, the cap will only continue to increase significantly with time.

Cap hell? That's so 90's. No such thing in this century.

Nope. Still too lazy. And still haven't figured out how to get the exponent TM next to a word, not even after googling it. lol

I'll say this: the cap can always be cooked.

I didn't mean you personally. I meant 'you' as in the GM. ™ - try cut and paste. But remember, it's use is restricted ®.

Keep Clay, sign a vet top CB, draft pass rush, TE and line. Sign Jimmy at TE and let's do this.

This sounds like a plan!

You are more likely to get a shutdown corner at 14 than top flight pass rush. Draft the corner, sign some pass rush.

Put Fackrell in an incubator so he can finish developing.

Ask the Cowboys, Redskins and Saints how that is working for them.

Draft Landry and sign a vet CB. I think it's easier to rush the passer for rookies than cover WRs.

The Packers have no business drafting anything but BPA.

Plug all the emergency holes with FA as cap permits but for godsakes use the draft to reel in a star with a rookie contract at any position.

There are some positions that can be eliminated from 1st round consideration though:

QB: You have Rodgers
TE: Nobody rated that high
G: Can find them later
C: See Guard
ILB: Nobody rated that high

Pretty could chance there will be an OLB, WR, OT or CB worthy of the 14th pick.

RB is stacked, wouldn't pick a WR that high unless it's a Moss talent.

Or Safety. Unless it's Nick Collins, the position isn't a game changer.

What about Calvin Ridley? they need to figure out what to do at WR -- they have Davante and a bunch of #3/#4 level WRs, and that's not good enough even with Rodgers IMO.

(I ask that even though I agree with most that CB and especially pass rush need help.)

What about Roquan from Georgia, Joe? He could be a Kuechly type.

Boards are all over the place on him right now. I've seen him rated from #5 overall to a 2nd round pick. So he could be gone before the Packers pick, or he could be a reach at # 14. He's not at the Senior Bowl, so he'll be one to watch at the Combine.
