Anthony Johnson to the Packers

CyPack said:
Rodgers didn't throw for over 300 yards in a single game last year, not once. He looked like he was mailing it in and his recent playoff performances were crap to put it lightly. He wasn't carrying anything last year. The Packers offense is going to look a lot like the 49ers (LaFleur is from the Shanahan tree) and Love will be more than capable of paying at least as well as Rodgers last year and will actually run the offense as intended opposed to Rodgers basically changing and calling his own plays. They'll have a better record than last year, book it. And the Bears will still suck.

He was also with davante Adam’s last year and AL for a bit of time due to injury wasn’t he? I think with the weapons he has at NY, he could easily see a resurgence this year.

I agree, as a Vikings fan, I have lived too long and seen too much evidence to believe the Packers will ever truly suck and be a shite team that mails it in early and tanks for a high pick. I expect them to be annoyingly competitive this year. Not playoff contention good, but like maybe .500 good or at least 7-10 as a floor

I think people who don't watch the Packers don't realize he was both the best and worst thing about them. He clearly had no interest in running LaFleur's offensive scheme and would routinely try to play hero ball (the last plays of the last two seasons are clear evidence of that). As good as he is, his time had run its course and a QB who plays within the system can be just as successful as Rodgers was. Also the Jets clearly have more of an offensive suited to he wants to do so he'll probably have a "resurgence" this year.

I think Love has shown he can make the throws but he needs to improve on presnap reads and adjustments, which you need reps to do. They'll probably be down this year (or maybe not? The NFC North isn't that tough this year in my opinion).

All that's to say, I don't think GB's offense will be vastly more/less successful without Rodgers, but their defense will be what wins/loses them games.

Agree, and Rodger's body language was kind of telling to me. I appreciate what he did for GB, little irritated with GB taking him for granted and not giving him an extra weapon or two for several years, but I am ready to move on. He just didn't seem like he wanted to be around as much as in the past. I think he'll be pretty successful with the Jets, but he also has to get by a lot more there in the AFC. He also had a tendency to force feed Adams too much in moments when he didn't need to. I think that bit him and GB in the butt in late season moments during the playoffs.

I'll try to remain positive and hope for Love to grow. It'll take time, as I do think he has some decent intangibles. I also realize history is unlikely to repeat itself with this QB, so I don't have high expectations.

Aaron Jones, Jaire Alexander, Kenny Clark. Rashon Gary is coming on strong.

People seem to think they'll fall hard. Rodgers stats weren't that impressive last year. If Love has basic stats and they run more, they can still compete in that crappy ass division. Although, the Lions are showing improvements.

I also was more excited and celebrated harder for the Jets pick over the packers 1st round pick Thursday evening. Jets might be my AFC team now lol.
