Packers Youth and Great Drafts (1 Viewer)

[Sabertooth]

Go Google Thompson's drafts. Collectively they've been very hit and miss. Take away the "great" players you can count on one hand and look at the rest: nothing special. Certainly nothing in the collective drafts to suggest the Packers will be head-and-shoulders above everyone else for the foreseeable future.

So if you take away all the good picks his drafts look bad? No freaking kidding.

My point is his drafts are average. Many teams hits on some key picks and have a handful of good players to build around. The Packers will be competitive--right along with a gaggle of other young and talented teams in the NFC. The problem is with you Packer fans and/or apologists who want to crown their asses moving forward from this point as "the" team to beat or something. Um, no. They can take a number like everyone else wanting to be that team. They're in the muddled mix of good teams in the NFC moving forward. Nothing more. Nothing less.

Nah, they won 15 games this season. They, along with San Fran and New Orleans are the class of the conference.

Packers do have some strong young talent, but I think it's a little over blown in the minds of some of their fans..

You could name as many strong young players for most teams.

Not to mention I think Favre was younger than Rodgers when he made his back-to-back Super Bowl appearances.
