How much longer before The Packer BRASS gives us a REAL Chance for the Fifth Super Bowl?

[mraynrand]

The Packers have a good chance any year that Aaron Rodgers stays healthy. They just haven't maximized things, though, for a long time, maybe ever..

Do you mean go "all in" for a year, with the possibility of facing a multi-year cap problem? I think that's about the only thing they haven't done. You can agree/disagree whether it's the right thing, but given the examples of the multi-year downturns some teams experience, without winning a championship, it doesn't seem smart. There just are no guarantees. You can't really do things the way the 1994 49ers did and buy a championship with 6-7 free agent starters brought in in one year. You just have to build a solid foundation and have everything fall in place for you. Losing guys like Collins and Shields among other injuries and horrible circumstances kinda short circuit that. Packers were perfectly positioned to win it all in 2014 because of smart FA acquisitions and drafting. Shit happened.

Cap hell? Who runs it, Hades or Pluto?

Ain't no cap hell in this day and age of soaring revenues and titanic TV contracts, yo! Cook the cap today, and let the average Joes and MSM bail out the franchises tomorrow.

this seems rational.

Truth. But at least others aren't blowhards and assjacks like Harbaugh. At least not to the level that guy is. Ugh.

I just watched "All or Nothing" 2017 of the Michigan Wolverines on Amazon Prime. I have to say I was very impressed with Harbaugh.

Hairball is a good guy actually. He has standards. He's just a hothead and whiny on the field.

It's actually easier to buy rings today than in the 90's. Back then, the cap increased something like 2-5 M yearly and there was no "carry over." Today, $10-20 M, sometimes more, with carry overs. And the pig owners aren't losing money, despite ignorant people's threats to boycott the NFL over the players' harmless protests of social maladies.

Go all-in. Cook the cap. Prosper.

That's 1 maybe two mid-level players at most.

Please see the Cowboys defense. Or check out the 22 year contract Tyron Smith signed because he was under family duress that saved Jones' butt from more cost cutting.

Romo's contract was a big part of that. Dez to a lesser degree now.

You are fluent in the Moby-Iverson formula, so elementary math shouldn't be too hard for you. Signing 6-7 elite free agents with $10-$20 M of cap space, plus carry over, is feasible and not difficult. Just gotta cook the cap.

Capology is so easy, the Packers have a personal trainer managing their cap.

Btw, as far as I can tell, the Moby-Iverson formula pertains to the act of watching highlights of Allen Iverson to the tune of Moby's "Extreme Ways."

Are the Cowboys currently in a cap hell? If they really, really wanted to sign, say, Sammy Watkins, they could've gotten him. Just gotta cook the cap.

Nowadays, with soaring revenues and titanic TV contracts, the cap is a nonissue. If a pig owner doesn't want to get too fat (eat all his profits greedily), he can sign 6-7 elite free agents with ease simply by guaranteeing frogskins. Sign the elite free agents to multi-year deals with large signing bonuses. Restructure the contracts of current, still-productive players with fat cap hits by turning their fat base salaries into signing bonuses. In short, cooking the cap.

With soaring revenues and titanic TV contracts, the cap will always be inflated materially and the pig owners will always get fed.
