The Packers end the 2019 season in a much better spot than at the end of 2018. Matt LaFleur and Brian Gutekunst provided a quick turnaround in terms of scheme, team chemistry, and overall talent level, but, alas, the work is never done. The Aaron Rodgers era is approaching its end, and it’s time to…
Admittedly it’s arguable that this belongs higher on the list than number 5. 67% of last year’s starters on the defensive line are no longer on the team. Two open starting spots in one position group could possibly push this higher on the list. The reason that I don’t view it as highly is largely…
If Eddie Lacy is not the best running back in the NFC North in 2014, he will be in 2015. Think about that for a second. Matt Forte is an exceptional back. I really like his game and appreciate the way he provides impact in all phases but he’s not the monstrous athlete that Lacy…

One of the go-to insults for jealous fans of other teams is to make fun of Green Bay itself. Ryan Longwell made an infamous comment about Applebee’s restaurant being “as fancy as it got” in the home of the Packers. I remember Vikings fans telling me that Greg Jennings wanted to continue to live in…
The draft is all about opportunity cost. The reason that the entire world laughed at the Minnesota Vikings when they selected Christian Ponder #12 overall is not because Ponder wasn’t ever going to be a serviceable NFL quarterback. We didn’t know that for sure (I think everyone kind of assumed) but even if Ponder ended…
