Why the Packers are better than last year: D edition

Just laying out facts.

No, you're not.

Just laying out facts.

You mean educated guesses.

[sharpe1027]

Well I guess we’re all walking around with headaches then.

Tiresome.

The question is would you give up a couple of those 10-6 seasons for a couple more Super Bowls over the last ten years? You know what my answer is.

You should apply for a position with an NFL team. You're guaranteed to be running the place within a few short years with such meaningful insight. Nobody I know could offer such a guaranteed tradeoff. You must be so much smarter than us. You could be rich and famous with multiple Superbowl rings!

It just seems so unfair. What good are my mere opinions when Brandon has the facts? And how did this forum survive for 14 years without the facts?

We didn't have facts, but we at least could tell the difference between "they're," "their" and "there." And "than" vs "then." And when to use an apostrophe in "it's" and when not to.

In isolation, they weren't much, but when added together they made us bigger than the sum of our parts.

My parts are just fine thank you very much. Perfectly adequate.

I guess you and Gutekunst are both content with mediocrity instead of greatness.

My wife seems to be also.

Well, my ex wife was for a while. But I wore out my welcome with my insanity! Best thing that ever happened to me tho!

Oh Great. The Grammar Police is coming out. Let’s resort to “Grammar.”

Let’s see how it plays out. It has nothing to do with me wishing or hoping something is gonna happen. What’s gonna happen is gonna happen. It’s called “Probabilities.” We haven’t even gotten to camp yet. Right now I’ve expressed some concerns. Things could change a little here and there. It’s still early. We can re-visit these things later. I’m not gonna try and rub it in anyone’s face.

I never said anything about working for an NFL front office. And trust me, my views are shared by many other then me. I’m really not so unique in this as you kinda describe.

Gary needs to be beefed up and become a 5 tech DE. That’s our only hope with him. Clowney is a top 25 player in the whole league. Just a very rare and unique talent. He can defend run and disrupt and rush passer. Pettine would have the final piece to make it all work and potentially make the defense elite.

If I were inclined, I could name 25 I would rather have off the top of my head.

[bobblehead]

Maybe this puts it in better perspective. Based on points this is investment made.

Rashan Gary 12th Pick. = 1200pts
Jordan Love 30th, 136th = 658 pts

Total = 1858 draft pts.

= “On The Bench”

Totally Unacceptable.

In fairness Gary will get starter snaps this year. With Fackrell gone, and Gary/smith moving inside on pass, he will get 700 snaps this year. whether that is a good thing or not, I'm willing to concede, but he will not be "on the bench"
