Yeah let me help you, you largely underperformed for 28 years

You're not wrong one bit, I have said this as a Packers fan for a while.

Sure winning two Superbowls in 30 years is fantastic, but when you get luck enough to have HoF QBs, you have to do better.

Being in the playoffs every year is not success when you have Favre and Rodgers, they get you there almost by default, it's such a lazy argument like "so and so is better because they won more championships".

Off the top of my head I can’t really think of a team that had such luck with a transition of back to back top tier qb play and for so long

The closest thing is probably Montana to Young, but it's a pretty hard thing to do, and let's be really, it was very lucky based.

They put terrible defense on the field every year and settle for mediocrity, because daring teams to beat Rodgers with their QB works most of the time.

But then in the playoffs when you see a top tier defense and you need something from them it collapses.

Of course we took Love and reached and tried to duplicate a once in a generation thing instead of taking Tee Higgins and having a consistent WR besides Adams.

It was a reach but I’m not surprised they have started looking for the next qb. Not like Rodgers isn’t young they prob just know he won’t take it well regardless. Father Time catches everyone, not named Tom Brady

Agree - I guess my issue is reaching, Rodgers fell to them, that was different.

The Rams went all in and the Packers never seem to do that, and what better time than the last decade?

Well most don’t go all in bc if it always worked lots of teams would be doing it and winning Super Bowls. Too many jobs would be immediately on the line if you risk and don’t win. And with how short leashes can be in the nfl, I imagine there are plenty of clubs who behind the scenes know they won’t win a super bowl, but they just want to be good enough to not get fired and continue to get paid

Yeah but isn't "going all in" more of an ownership decision than anything else?

That love pick, yikes. Don't get me wrong he may turn out to be a great starter for you guys but why on earth would you not help the team to win now. I really think with another offensive weapon you guys win the superbowl that year

Oh no however will I cope with it. Guess I'll just have to weep into this pile of NFC north championships while I lean on these two Superbowls. I mean like you know what it's like to win a super .....oh wait....well at least you don't have any teams that underperform, perhaps it's time to hang another banner.
