The problem with the 2021 Packers offense

[texaspackerbacker]

You seriously think "2021 will be down from 2020"?

I'm thinking the O Line will be just about as good as last season, but whatever. O Line isn't that important anyway with Rodgers at QB. We will be better at the "skill positions" even than last year.

Honestly, all of that, even a Super Bowl win would be pretty much meaningless to me if Rodgers is gone by the next season and the team goes down the drain for the foreseeable future. Hopefully, that disaster won't happen.

2021 will be down from 2020 because of the OL.

His stats will be down--no matter the circumstances. He had one of the all-time great seasons. He actually has more weapons around him, and thunder and lightning in the backfield is ridiculous amount of talent. The schedule is tougher though, and those types of seasons are rarely repeated.

The OL helped him last year. And similar skill players. Yeah, it was gonna be down regardless, but I expect it to be more than 4 touchdowns down. I would predict 38 and 6 with the OL drop off and just because last year was kind of lucky.

Did I ever say I think Love will "suck"? Hell no. I said a lot of times, I think he will be an average, maybe at best a slightly above average NFL QB. That's just not what I want. I want the GOAT for as many more years as he can play at a high level - I'd say 3-4 minimum, and way more than the detractors want to consider hahahahaha on the high end. After that, I want somebody who probably is in elementary or junior high right now to come along and we get as lucky with that guy as we have with Favre and Rodgers.

RG, I thought you meant the team in general, not Rodgers to be "down in '21 from '20". Regardless, same response, with Rodgers, O Line is not near as big a factor as with just about anybody else - he makes them all pros (or seem like it), not the other way around. The line should be even better for run blocking this year, though, and it should mean more with the RBs we have. With that threat as well as improved WRs, Rodgers AND the team should be even better than last year.

I guess, for me, the question is sort of silly right now since we have no idea.

But we do have a strong inkling Rodgers can keep it rolling for a few years at least. Does anyone think Rodgers will have more all-pro or top 5 QB seasons in the next 5 years than Love will have in 10? If the answer is yes, then I have serious doubts about moving on from him.

I would say that is obvious - even if it was 1 to nothing. I would guess, 5 to nothing, though.
