Agree, of course not- ARod is way past his prime, and Davante is likely a bit past peak as well.

The old 49er philosophy of getting rid of players a year too soon vs year too late is often unpopular with the fans, but usually the best bet for team in the long term.

Absolutely why Bill the sithlord did so well in NE.

Didnt pay anyone for very long. Helps to have the goat for a discount forever too - but he simply didnt pay anyone for very long.

Davante Adams has wanted to get back with Rodgers since they were seperated. I have said many times, Rodgers made Adams look better than he was. I have not seen Adams play but a few times with the Raiders and Rodgers is a shell of himself from the past. I do not see this being the successful partnership they had with the Packers.

No. Adams is very good. He had 2 good years in LV and was a freak in college.

If anything Adams has helped Arod imo.

When those two were humming, it was a thing of beauty. But the Pack had an outstanding O-Line and a good run game during that time too. Most effective weapon for a passing game is time.

Again, goes back to franchise discipline- rather than blowing their load on position players (Dallas…), the Pack tends to value O-line pretty high in the early and mid rounds of the draft, as well as through contracts.

If the playoffs were today all 4 NFC North teams would be in it -- crazy.

More crazy, right now, 2 are good enough to win it all.

That’s a juicy post…

Probably 3 are at least possible if they are hot at the right time.

This feels weird and illogical, but I would absolutely root for the Lions if they make the big show. I could never in a million years say that about the Vikes or Bears, and I’m sure that is mutual for most fans of those teams.
