    Don’t play an injured dude week fucking 2.

    I get the balance late in the season and in the playoffs, and why guys push the envelope then. But not week 2.

      Packers just know they put themselves in the exact same situation as in the Favre and Rodgers eras: they rely on an elite starting QB to band-aid the rest of the problems on an otherwise mediocre team. Without their elite starting QB, they’re absolutely cooked, they have little else. Publications keep overrating GB every year because they’re absolutely obsessed with QB play and Favre and Rodgers were good enough for the “we only care about our QB” strategy to work. We really have yet to see if Love will be at the same level overall, but all the sports media is buying into GB’s assertion that he is. Either way, they don’t jave much of a strategy otherwise, so for GB’s sake he had better be elite.

        Ive been saying it for years now, Davante Adams is not a top 5 WR, it was Rogers putting in the work
