Chemistry skill players for Rodgers and an offensive identity

[RashanGary]

Jenkins is a player
Turner is a player
Patrick is a player

Runyan looked good as a rookie
Meyer is a second round center. Should be a sure pick.

That's 5 guys.


Bakhtiari will be back. That's our 6th guy.


Hansen, Stepaniak, Newman and Vanlanen... We should get one out of those 4 picks.




Some of it is development but we should have 6 or 7 decent OL. We've spent 6 draft picks in the last two years on OL. It's draft picks so which ones step forward is unknown at this time. But they shouldn't all flop either.

Too much hand wringing.

AR got the ball out much quicker last year. He will get it out quick if need be. Also, I expect all the other rooms (besides OL at first) to improve: rbs may stay the same. This team is stacked. The cupboards were really empty a few years ago. Not many holes on the team and depth in a lot of rooms.

There are sure avenues to lessen the blow of an average OL. Injuries are less likely with young guys. They're all under 30 and most significantly under 30.

Injuries aside, the OL looks decent.

Just like last year's Packers and last year's chiefs and last year's everyone, we're hoping for health. Same goes for DL and OLB, WR and running back. It's the NFL. Last year Bakhs injury bit us at the end. It could happen again. Championships are tough.

But yeah, compared.to the rest of.the league, we're in the hunt at an early glance.


But those predicting stumbles have a 31 out of 32 statistical advantage to be right in the end.

I'm a bettor and ill never in the history of ever, I don't care how strong the team looks, bet on a team with even odds to win the SB against 32 other teams. Even the greatest team that's ever entered a season still has injuries to dodge along the way. The worst odds I've ever taken on a team to make it to the SB was two years ago and the chiefs at +600. Even those odds gave me a 6x cushion.

So HH has a point, it's just not a dramatic one. It's more of a common sense point than some shocking reality that no one can see.

As a fan, I'm always hoping for the best though and picturing success. Even if it's unlikely, it's still more fun to hope than to just live in the realism that a championship is unlikely. It's unlikely for the chiefs and buccaneers and 49ers and Packers. It's unlikely even if you could win with any of the 4. Championships are statistically unlikely. If you could pick 10 teams, now you've got something. But even then it's still not even close to a sure thing. One of the other 22 could catch lightning in a bottle. It happens. See the 2010 Packers
