True or false- What's REALLY killing the Packers is the consecutive years of terribly low draft picks.?

I think it will be very tough, especially with the ordeal of having to basically "break in" an almost rookie QB. Phillip Rivers has been with SD for 2 seasons now, but has played very little which means has not experienced very much of the big game situations. Drew Brees did a great job with Phillip Rivers on his heels for the job. Of course anything is possible with, IMO, the best player in football in LaDanian Tomlinson, and easily one of the most coveted players in Antonio Gates. Their schedule was a big part of their missing the plaoffs last year too. All things considered, they have a shot, but with Denver and KC in the division it will be tough, especially if KC has a good defensive draft which has been their low point over the past 4-5 years. Larry Johnson emerged as one of the NFL's most unbelieveable players, turning into one of the best Rb's in the league. I wouls still say Denver is the frontrunner, only because they did not get worse from last season, if anything they have gotten better, but with the game on the line, I still dont like Jake Plummer, he has never done a good job in the clutch. I would say certainly SD has a shot if Phillip Rivers plays to the level Marty Schotenheimer feels he can play. Remember, SD let one of the NFl's top 5 QB's over the past 5 years go so that this guy could play. He must be pretty good, that or they didnt want the fans to kill them for basically "waisting" top 5 pick. All in all, I still say Denver wins the division, but SD will be right on their heels, and if Rivers plays good there is no reason they cant win it.

I don't think so.  A lot of experts are questioning why Green Bay is not preparing for the next quarterback.  Favre is obviously past his prime, and I don't think they see Aaron Rodgers as the next Favre. Instead of letting Brett get destroyed each week, they should have started looking for their next long term QB. Then you take this year (and last year) and use Favre to train him.  It's like they are going through a rebuilding year, but they are not actually doing any rebuilding.

You always get those butt munches that say Brett must retire.  I am sick to death of it!  He'll retire when he is ready!  You would think these posters on here are fricking coaches who know something, but they are just average morons!  Packers did give it away.  Favre could have been benched in the second half of that game.  But Buffalo, they are 3-5 and going to Indy!  Talk about the one two punch there!  Should be a slaughter.\nI think McCarthy is a good choice and hell, he is human!  People make mistakes and his playcalling, while not perfect-had been good.  I knew going into the damn game the only way we were gonna win was to not turn the damn ball over!

It's simple.  You can't trade or cut a player like Favre because of his status with the team.  He's just like JoePa at Penn State.  Prior to last year, Penn couldn't fire him because of what he has meant to the organization.  EVERYONE wants Favre to retire as a Packer, including management.\n\nI think we as fans get crazy of Favre's indecision but because he is a general of the game and the team, he wouldn't do anything that would truly hurt the team.  He knows that he can only last one more year and they already have their QB of the future in Rodgers so that won't affect the draft.  Favre's indecision isn't going to hurt the team.  If he's coming back the Packers will take him with open arms.  If he doesn't, the Packers will give him a big hug goodbye, no hard feelings.

They might get a fine, they might get sanctions, but the truth is that they will not likely have the title stripped from them.  They should! It won't happen though.  The NFL is certainly going to be happy about making one of its players getting press, but I wouldn't think anyone benefits from this investigation except the sanctity of sport.  It doesn't matter who the packers get bc Favre is waning.

Too old to keep playing? No. Too old to play the kind of football the packers play? Yes. Give Favre a better location and he will be fine the next 2-3yrs. I think Bret still has a good arm and pocket presence. As they say, all good things come to an end. I am talking about the team in general, not Favre.

Brett Favre should stay one more year and go out on top. :) Go Packers!!!!!

1.  Poor drafting.  Between 2000-2006, the 49ers drafted 55 players. Only 8 starters on offense from all of those draft classes combined, and only four at the 'skill positions' (Barlow, Lloyd, Battle and Smith).\n\n2.  Injuries:  9 guys on IR, including starting Center, starting T, starting FS and SS, starting LB and starting TE.\n\n3.  Four different starting QBs this season.\n\n4.  Barlow not a difference maker/elite back.  His 3.3 yards per carry are actually worse than last year!\n\n5.  Unimaginative play calling (other than first game of season).\n\n6.  49ers lead the league by a wide margin in number of series that go 3-and-out.  This leaves the defense vulnerable.

It appears not, following the link below you will see all the players drafted by the Bears from 1967 to present.

I figure late 2nd or early 3rd round.  There is way too much talent coming out iin the next two years

Brett wants to go out on top like everyone else.  The Packers have been getting progressively worse over the seasons.  Here lies the problem; if Brett wants to go out on top, that won't be with the Packers.\n\nI think Brett wants to be traded.  I think the Packers wouldn't mind trading him.  The problem is neither side wants to pull the trigger.  If the Packers initiate a trade thay will look incenitive.  After all, next to Vince Lombardi, Bart Starr, and Curly Lambeau who else has epitomized the tru meaning of being a Packer other than Brett.  He brought thr franchise back.\n\nThe other problem with a trade is where would he go?  What playoff contender needs a QB and has the money to sign him for one year (which is all Brett says he wants to play).Few good teams need a QB.  \n\nCinncinnati might need someone if Carson Palmer does not come back quickly, but that is a maybe.\n\nHouston might be an interesting fit, but they still love David Carr.\n\nBaltimore needs a real QB, but for just one year?  And would Brett make them a contender?\n\nI doubt Brett would jump ship to any of the teams in his division.\n\nThe Jets have a chance at either Young or Leinart.  Plus I can't picture Brett in New York.\n\nThe best thing Brett could have done was to retire in January.  If he retires now, then he will be criticized for waiting so long and forcing the Packers to miss out on a number of veteran free agents.\n\nHey, what if the Titans and Packers swap QBs.  McNair is looking for a home and he has a few years left.  Brett could train either Leinart or Young for a season.  A trade that will never happen.\n\nBrett will stay one more year in GB, probably retire and the story will fizzle.  The NFL has scheduled several televised GB games this season highlighting Brett's final season, so I think he will stick around.  If they go 8-8 he will at least be able to save some face.

You have to do it at the beginning of the year before the draft so you have individual defenesive players.  Its too late in the year now.

I despise the entire organization. The players, the coaches, and especially Favre. The only thing worse whan Favre is listening to a semi-retarded packer fan explain why it's ok that Favre throws a pick every two minutes or so. I hate the colors green and yellow, and I feel nauseated when I see those retarded cheese-head hats. The words "Lambeau Field" send an almost uncontrollable rage throughout my body. Last years two wins over the packers means more than winning the NFC North. The last game of the regular season this year is green bay at Chicago. It should be the last year of hillbilly bretts career, and I'd like nothing more than to see him driven into the dirt of Soldiers Field on every play. When the Bears D gets done with him on December 31st, another five month retirement debate won't even be an option.

He will announce that he has no desire to play for the Packers, because they did nothing in this past offseason to put a strong team around him.  If he plays, he'll get his brains beat in, game after game, loss after loss.  THE PACKERS SUCK HARD

I like the Texans pick of Mario Williams. When you only sack the opposing Qb 29 times in 16 games there is something to be said about that. They need a pass rusher for sure. Reggie Bush have never face a defense like any of the ones he will see in the NFC South. Carolina, Tampa, and ATL....come on!!! Then he will have the pressure of being the best athlete in to enter the draft in what was it ten years. Yo Saints....Joe Horn is 34....why not trade the pick to Greenbay for Walker and the #5 pick.
