I love the takes coming out about how the Packers are going to be one of the worst teams in the league next year as if Rodgers carried us last year. He was average last year and wildly inconsistent - it’s not like he carried us to eight wins.

It’s a solid roster and if Love is remotely good then we are a WC contender, if we hit on a few draft picks then even better.

The sky isn’t falling in Green Bay. Had this happened going into the 2022 season then I’d be far more concerned.

I 100% wouldn’t be shocked if the Jets and Packers finish with similar records. Right around the 8-10 win mark.

Considering the Jets won 7 games on a harder schedule with 4 QBs, if Rodgers can only muster 1-2 more wins, then he isn't as good as everyone says he is.

Well he’s almost 40. Don’t be that guy.

Even Shady Brady got a super bowl win past that age. The playoffs is the bare minimum for the Rodgers led Jets.

Yeah the picks will matter obviously. It’ll be an interesting few years.

To me though it’s also free money. Either way Rodgers wasn’t going to play for the Packers this year so we have some free swings.

Going to suck rooting against you and Rodgers this year but I want a top pick. Or two top picks if Love isn’t the guy.

It's okay, it's fun doing this as I had fun rooting against the 2021 Seattle Seahawks. :lol:

As long as you are rooting for the Knicks in the Eastern Conference semis, I can forgive you.

Brady post 40 isn’t a standard. It’s an outlier.

After the Bucks have an all time choke against Miami? I’ll root for anyone but the Miami TrashAsses

I do wish Manish Mehta was still on the Jets beat because I absolutely know he would get dunked on by Rodgers for asking questions about his vax status and him playing under the owner of Johnson & Johnson.

I think Rich Cimini might be a good substitute. He's always a pessimistic one. This has Kyrie Irving 2.0 written all over it, only Rodgers is much smarter and stays away from the deep end of things when speaking to the beat writers.

My first idea of what an ideal mock would look like for me for Green Bay.

1st (trade down with TB , pick up a 2nd and unload some 7ths)
Dalton Kincaid

2nd (a) - Mazi Smith
2nd (b) - Derrick Hall
2nd (c) - Mathew Bergeron
3rd - Jordan Battle
4th - Jonathan Mingo
5th - Safety

And then more ST depth , maybe another TE and a developmental QB.

Will Levis #1 pick odds skyrocketing over a Reddit rumor being spread that Levis told close ones that he's going to be a Carolina Panther by Thursday. I can't wait until Thursday arrives, this is hilarity. This is someone just trying to BS with Vegas odds to get more of a jackpot.

There is no way the Panthers traded up to number one to take Will fucking Levis. Not buying that for a second. That would be great for the Texans though.

I want to say there’s no chance but I also hate speaking in absolutes in the NFL draft. Just last year I would have thought Walker would never go #1 overall much less over Hutchinson but late buzz ended up being correct.

I still doubt it but it’s nothing is impossible.

Change one of my ideals to Martin the DB out if Illinois. Slot/safety that meets all the Packers criteria.

Feel like this trade has rejuvenated your Packers fandom somewhat, could feel it slippin' a little bit with how last season transpired. 

No I was just out on most Packer discussion until the Rodgers deal got done. Everything was really moot until the deal was final and we knew what the compensation was.

And frankly I was just sick of hearing about it. Everything has to revolve around him for obvious reasons.

Not sure how true this is (coming from McCafee from Reddit) but I hear the Patriots might trade Mac Jones to Houston for the #2 pick. I’m sure NE would be giving up more than just Mac but that’d be interesting.

Honestly I think this QB draft class is overrated but whatever.

I would hope that also includes the 14th pick and probably quite a bit more, it would be a nice way to shake up the draft for sure.

I could see it being for Richardson too.

I wouldn’t hate it for Houston either.

You know as a franchise, Carolina hasn’t disappointed with a Top 10 pick the last decade.

Cam. Kuechly. CMC. Brown. Horn.

I think I’ll change my mind and say Bryce Young is a DAWG. This franchise is lowkey good. Reich and McCown are going to make sure Bryce is great. Their defense might be top 5 in the NFL for the next 5 years. I think Carolina is taking that division.

CJ Stroud. Bust.
