WIDE UNFILTERED.....some interesting info during a boring offseason

"If not, we put up with mediocrity for at least a few years."

Tex, your unfailing optimism just can't be tamped down. A couple months ago it was going to be a disaster, and now you've moved up to "mediocrity."

Another month and you'll have them in the playoffs!

A bit of truth in that hahahaha. I'm getting slowly psyched up the season. Love doesn't need to have Rodgers' arm. Just adequate passing and Rodgers' mindset to not throw interceptions should be enough on this otherwise loaded team to go a long way. I'll stick with about 8-9, though, as I'm not sure Love is up to both the physical and mental.

Just some dead zone thoughts:

Parity is the norm in the NFL. Last year three 9-8 teams and one 8-9 team made the playoffs. Parity does not apply, however, when it comes to winning Super Bowls.

There are currently 10 NFL teams that have gone 50+ years without winning a Super Bowl. (Cardinals, Lions, Vikings, Browns, Chargers, Bills, Oilers/Titans, Falcons, Bengals, Jets).

Conversely, there are 10 NFL teams that have won 42 of the 57 Super Bowls (Steelers (6), Patriots (6), 49ers (5), Cowboys (5), Giants (4), Packers (4), Chiefs (3), Broncos (3), Redskins (3), Raiders (3).

Supposedly Rodgers is talking about playing multiple seasons for the Jets - no surprise there, to me at least. I'm betting he plays excellent football this year and beyond, but the Jets still manage to be nothing special. About 8-9 or 9-8 sounds about right for them too even with the GOAT playing like he has most of his career.

Jets were a 7-10 team with Zach Wilson, Mike Wilson, and Joe Flacco as their QBs with the most attempts, in that order. How the hell can Rodgers play excellent football and only win one more game?

[smuggler]

Yeah that doesn't scan. The Jets have a good roster. They should win at least 11 this year.

Rodgers is NOT the GOAT.

Rodgers is NOT the GOAT.

This is true. At his peak he was special, but he's not the GOAT.

[texaspackerbacker]

He is and has been a better player than Brady. Is there some other GOAT candidate out there? Haters hating on Rodgers doesn't take away from his ability and accomplishments.

I'll never hate on Rodgers play. He was/is elite, but yes, Brady is the GOAT. Hell, I'd put Montana over AR as closer to goat, too, but Brady just flat out got it done when big stakes were on the line. That's just facts.

Agree 100%, including re: Montana.

Rodgers is easily more talented than Brady, but Brady has all the stats, including most regular season wins and postseason wins, and a lot of SB rings too.

Johnny Unitas: Think of what he could do in todays age of flag football offense.

The Packers signed Alex McGough to backup first-year starter Jordan Love in 2023 after a team workout on Tuesday, July 18, according to Bill Huber of FanNation’s Packer Central.

[texaspackerbacker]

I wouldn't even put Montana ahead of Steve Young.

This tells me that the Packers need to win 3 straight SB's to get back on top of this list and to flex on the league as the only franchise to win 3 championships in a row, and do it for the 3rd time.
