Gutekunst's 2020 Plan Revealed

[George Cumby]

If I am not mistaken, the way the Reggie/Favre Packers got past the Cowboys was to not play them in the 1996 playoffs.

I think the '96 Packers win that one, but Carolina did our dirty work for us.

1) Who cares so much about 'value' if the picks fit your team and actually perform?
2) Gute actually went to and bought a fresh entree from a new restaurant but the wife re-heated the excellent lasagne from last week.

Chances are any time Dillon plays in place of Jones it's a downgrade. He'll most likely be an upgrade on Wiiliams but not in Jones' class. That's not worth a second round pick IMO.

Gute and Lafleur must think the wr's are better then the rest of the world. If you had told Packer nation in Feb that the only wr/te addition through FA and 3 rounds of the draft was Funchess I don't think anyone would have believed that.

All I know is we took three Players in the Draft we didn't need or have a Glaring Hole at the Positions and at spots in the Draft where we overpaid Severely for them...This Draft has me searching for answers like no other.

[RashanGary]

Actually not as many as you think. Goff lost. I don't think Foles was a rookie. Wison got one, maybe Flacco was rookie deal too. Eli in first one?

Eli, Rodgers at a really low cap number, Wilson, Mahommes.

Better hope Seattle helps out versus SF the next year or two otherwise it ain’t happening.

So what is the real plan?

1. The Packers were 13-3 last year. That ain't bad. You might believe you are the shit if you engineered that in Year 2 with a new coach.

2. There is reason for optimism on offense as you get everyone back but Allison and Bulaga and BB has been effectively replaced. It'll be Year 2 in the scheme and you can easily see another Top 10 finish. Graham hopefully is addition by subtraction if Stormbringer can actually play.

3. You believe you have upgraded ILB and with a little luck, that will play dividends against the 49ers and shore up the biggest weakness.

4. You think you can help the coach's offense in the draft by getting him something specific for his offense.

5. With the Smiths on Year 2 of this defense and now three games against them, Pettine will come up with a straightforward plan for the 49ers.

6. Kirksey and Savage hold the keys for a better middle of the defense.

7. You have somehow convinced yourself, or been convinced by coaches, that Lowry and Lancaster are good enough. Or that Adams is ready.

8. Encyclopdia St. Brown will be the starter opposite Adams and MVS will return to 2018 and early 2019 form.

9. By not breaking the bank now, you will have cash and cap going forward to sign the important future free agents (Clark, Bach, King, Jones)

Yeah, this is more like it. I get disgusted with this idiotic rebuilding talk too.

Obviously, I'm as pissed off as anybody with the way the draft has gone, but the more I read about Love and even Dillon, the more I calm down a little bit. As for the need for speed at WR, Quez and Quintez are still out there and I think will be when we finally get to draft again (not that Quintez is fast, but he would be a nice deep threat). There probably are other speed guys what we don't know about.

IMO, our passing game has gotten by for years with a substandard O Line, and it was good enough last year for a decent running game. I always said we don't need to draft an ILB early because of Pettine's style of D and so seldom having two ILBs on the field. And I have some hope that this FA, Willis is gonna help the D Line.

So yeah, things ain't too bad. And I never never never want the team to be so stupid as to really tear down and rebuild like some teams do.

Sign Clark for sure, probably Aaron Jones and Linsley, and maybe low ball Bakhtiari and King - I don't have a very high opinion of them anyway.

[RashanGary]

I watched a lot of NFL football last year. Other than Lamar, Mahommes and Wilson (guys who are run/pass threats without scheme) the NFL is going toward run/pass schemes to keep defenses off balance.

Outside zone with same action boots
Delayed RPO action
Traditional play action

So we're getting guys who make Rodgers life easier. He's too old to be extending every play. But Rodgers had a great year. He's a winner and unselfish at this point in his career . This is good.

Rodgers was 6 years into his career and on his second contract and it was BEFORE the new CBA. You can't count that one.

You've been brainwashed by the believers in Calabasas. They have the Packers number but they are eminently beatable.

Rodgers second contract was real friendly. He was in the early part of a contract that he blew away

I agree.

10 million a year in 2008 was 9% of the total cap.

[RashanGary]

It was 8% in 2010

That would be like AR making 16m/yr right now but in his absolute prime. That was a nice contract.

[Bretsky]

anybody wanna take a bet we don't see 13 wins next year ?

I'm a gambler and a Packer fan. I would never take that bet because 13 is rare.
