What Would You Give For A 5Th Lombardi Trophy

[GB-Brandon]

Aaron Rodgers is 36 and he is playing great. We are not for certain how long he will be in the green and gold. We just got exposed by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and it’s obvious what we need. We have a QB waiting in the wings that none of us have ever even seen throw a pass for the Packers yet even in a pre-season game. There is question marks of what the salary cap is going to look like over the next two years. So far Gute’s draft picks other then a couple haven’t shown much promise looking into the future. We have a team that with maybe adding a key piece can improve our chances immensely at winning a championship now!!

Is it worth it? What would it be worth to get that Lombardi back to Green Bay? Is it time to make an aggressive move? Or do we just sit tight like always?

Thoughts?

Nothing. It’s fun to watch a team work together and try to reach a goal. It’s fun to see guys use their minds and bodies to execute a task.

At the end of the day, I couldn’t really care less. It’s fun if they win and I feel good when they lose too.

It’s a sport, for entertainment, not something to have your panties in a bundle about. And I don’t care if AR wins another. And I don’t care if Tom Brady is seen as better. I don’t care about any of it. I just like seeing them try their best and be a team.

I'd love for that to happen ....... but if I'm forced to choose between a team that wins say 11-15 regular season games every year and hardly ever goes to much less wins the Super Bowl - kinda like what we have, and a team like the Giants, for example, that reaches the top once or twice and is in the toilet just about every other year, absodamnlutely I'll take what we have had. Happiness almost every week versus happiness once a year and then a few years of shit? No contest IMO.

And RG, I disagree with you, it damn near is life and death to many of us. From my teenage years 60 or so years ago right up to this week, when the Packers lose, it's like a dark cloud covers the whole state of Wisconsin or wherever true Wisconsinites happen to be. Of course, we got pretty numb to that for several decades after Lombardi until Favre came along.

The problem is that one never knows if mortgaging the future is going to produce a super bowl victory. So much depends on momentum going into the playoffs and team health that it's obviously impossible to project.

Sure adding an impact player improves your chances but I agree with Tex in that I'd rather be 11-5 most years and have a slim short to win it all versus going all in any given year and still likely miss out (31 teams each year are on the short end so odds are stacked against you). Conversely you'd then also have a higher probability of being a worse team the next few years due to the cost of the short term changes.

If you could guarantee a trophy any given year with desired changes then my view would change but as that's not possible I think it's far better to put winning teams on the field and hope to capture lightning in a bottle like we did in 2011.

I'd give tex's doomsday prepper stash for a Lombardi.

Yup. If it's more than this, you might want to re-evaluate things. Obsessing over sports is unhealthy. It's literally trying to control things that are out of your control.

I want them to win a SB pretty badly. The shit that the team has gone through since the last title is pretty incredible. The big letdown against the Giants in '11, the Fail Mary, Kaepernick, the McClellin injury, dropping the ball against the Bitch Pigeons (Bostick) in '14, Jordy's ACL, the Barr injury, and the offense just struggling without high quality receivers. And of course that list isn't totally inclusive.

It would be so sweet for the team to finally put together a championship.

But what am I personally willing to give up? Let me answer that with another question: What would the Packers give up to see me succeed?

I'll buy one share of stock the next time it gets offered. And when I buy Packers goodies I'll use their Pro Shop so they don't have to share the profit with the other teams. Other than that, the Packers can fuck off.

I think snacks would have helped.i think getting better again st the run helps us. I think getting back to presnap motion will help us. I think a consistent slot receiver will help us out if tonyon isn't able to be that.
I am willing to trade a second for someone to fill one of those roles.

[run pMc]

As a fan? Same thing I already do: my time and attention. Yeah the week is a lot better if they win, but I have personal things that are more important. I'm not giving up my kidney for them to beat Houston.

As an armchair GM? I can give up anything -- it's not mine to give up. It might be more interesting to think about what they NEED vs. what to GIVE for it. Besides luck and health, they need somebody to be consistent and show up as a difference maker on offense besides Jones and Adams (Tonyan?). They need Rodgers to play like the Rodgers of Weeks 1-4. They need help at ILB and DE, and they need the Smiths to play like 2019. They also need Savage and Gary to make that Year 2 leap.

Every team needs a lot of things to go right for them to win, much less win in the playoffs or the Superb Owl. I think they might be a couple players away, and I don't know they have the capital to give up to get them (or that another team would part with them)**. After a pair of 6 win seasons, this team surprised many last year and some thought it a fluke. This year they've shown they are good, but are they great? There's a lot of football to be played yet.

**How about Jeffrey Simmons, Devin White, and AJ Brown (or Julio Jones)?

This post was not designed to question what people would give up personally such a “Body Parts, Possessions, Time Etc” so sorry for the confusion. It was meant more towards what should the Packers be willing to give to get what they need “This Year” to make an attempt to win it all when you consider all things. Pretty simple stuff!!!

I have a real hard time believing this. Anyone that posts as much as you do about the Packers with the attitude you have about it and goes about it the way you do must feel some loss when the Packers lose. Don’t worry. It’s okay RG.

I much prefer the Patriots and Steelers way to win than the Vikings and giants way. Going all in rarely wins and generally makes future loss likely. Anyone who thinks one more receiver gets us the super bowl is a fool. We need run d. Specifically a dt and ilb.

Putting massive weapons around Patrick Mahommes won a Super Bowl for the Chiefs. They switched to a 4-3 defense but it wasn’t some dominant defense by any means. They’re were plenty of times their defense showed cracks and got toasted. They were just able to score at will and control the ball at will on offense and control the temp of the game at will.

I don’t believe you have a firm grasp on what it takes to WIN BIG in this “New NFL.” Where giving up massive yards doesn’t really matter. Touching a WR is PI. You can’t hit anybody too hard or flags fly everywhere. The reffs can call defensive holding on any play they want. Holding teams to a FG is a victory and turnovers are gold. There is no defense that plays shut down defense week in and week out. Controlling the ball on offense is the best defense!!!

Get with the program!!!

You really think we can get the same offensive tools in the middle of the season with limited cap space as kc? Foolish and naive.
It's not madden this is real life. While I do want a slot receiver I more want a presnap motion man to draw the d away from where we want to go. One more star receiver would be nice. But we have more pressing needs. Open your eyes. Or remain blind. Your choice.

That takes me to my big issue with the Packers front office which is their inability to innovate or adapt to the current environment of the NFL.
