If You Were the Packers GM
What would you do if you were the Packers' GM?
I would have picked up a tackle when I knew Spriggs was going to my starter. I know that would have been my first move as GM.
The Packers have a lot of choices to make this offseason. They started the season with the hopes of going to the playoffs and Super Bowl. They showed promise. Hundley showed a lot of promise, but that is the thing about preseason in the NFL that gives some teams false hope. Was it wrong to think Hundley could play quarterback in a way that the Packers season could be saved? I think it is fair to think that Hundley showed promise, but the reality of the season is different than the preseason, and the Packers waited too long to do something to help their season.
Is it time to promote Eliot Wolf to the general manager? He probably wouldn't sit on his hands like Ted Thompson, and I have a feeling he would be like his dad. Ted seems to model his strategy around the Patriots' method, but even the Patriots make moves during the season to help tweak their roster and they aren't afraid to unload some talent to get future talent. The Packers lose too much talent through free agency and don't get anything for these players, oh, sorry, they get compensated in the draft with some extra picks, so that might be the same as a trade.
I feel Ted Thompson wasted Aaron Rodgers best years.
Yes, Aaron Rodgers will be good next year, once his shoulder heals and he gets his arm strength back. But the Packers offensive line can't pass protect and that has something to do with why their star quarterback missed significant playing time.
Sunday was a good indication that the Packers can't play a complete game against teams with more talent. Just having Aaron Rodgers is not enough for the Packers. The Packers finally have a running game to compliment Aaron's passing ability, but what about a receiver that can be a true deep threat.
Will the Packers shake it up this offseason or stick to the same old plan of developing talent?
