Staely hasn't been healthy for 2 or 3 years so to say he is any form of consistent threat would be wrong, if healthy you would be right. But look what Gado was working with last year, him Favre, and Driver were the onyl true weapons last year behind an interior O-Line my Grandma could have broken through, and yet he still average 4 yards a carry, while Parker had the constant help of Bettis, a great O-Line, one and 3 other weapons on offense with Ward, Randle-EL and Miller.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (manofsteel)</div><div class='quotemain'>First of all, don't compare Gado to the starting RB for the super bowl champs, because he has no where near the speed and explosiveness that Parker has. Second Franks is not going to scare any defense this year, he will certainly not help Drvier any. The fact that you are telling me how crisp your WR is running routes in the OTAs as the basis of why you will win games tells me you got nothin. Let me ask you this, say some of your WRs do start to develop, say Gado becomes a good starting RB, say your young TE takes over the starting role. Wouldn't you rather that all happened along with your franchise QB of the future rather than Favre?? Brett Favre is only hurting this team by staying. They are not a playoff team. They need to develop their QB along with the rest of the team and be realistic in their chances of making the playoffs. Pretending that they can make any kind of run this year or next may end up hurting them a few years from now, after letting their QB miss valuable experience so Favre can keep heaving prayers down the middle of the field.</div> I agree that Gado is no Willie Parker. I disagree that Favre is hurting the team. If you watched Aaron Rodgers practice, he's not ready. He needs to be brought along slowly. Plus this is a tad different system from last year so it's better if Rodgers sits and learns. Throwing a QB that is not ready yet to the pack of wolves is what would hurt this teams future. He's being brought along the same way the Jets brought Chad Pennington and if it wasn't for injuries, that worked out very well for them. So 1 more year behind Favre doesn't hurt. Also Favre can still physically play the game. Mentally he needs to get better. If you took the time to read my post above you would realize that. If you watched any Packer games, you would realize that. He'll have a better year this year. That I'm sure of. Bubba Franks has been to 3 Pro Bowls. He doesn't need to put ?fear? in defenses. Green Bay runs the West Coast offense. Unlike KC or SD, TE is not the teams #1 option. It is their #2 or #3. Franks has great hands, and is a great blocker. That is the type of TE, the West Coast offense uses. GB has much better WR?s than they did last year. Last year they didn?t have near the depth they have this year. Last year they had 3 receivers for most of the year. This year they have 6 healthy one?s. As for the Pack not doing anything. You have very little knowledge of the team. 1. I don't think anyone said they were going to make a playoff run. 7-9 or 8-8 is probably not going to make the playoffs. 2. The NFC is weak so it isn't that far fetched for this team to get the #6 spot. They lost 6 games last year by 6 points or less. They had more injuries to their team than anyone. They won't win the division but they certainly COULD make a small run at the playoffs. I'm sure the Bears couldn't win the division last year but they did. 3. Every team in the NFC North has their problems. The Bears did nothing to their offense so if the defense doesn't match their performance of last season, their going to be vulnerable. The Vikings have a new regime but their offense has questions at QB and their defense isn't near as good as the Bears. They could win anywhere from 6 to 10 games. A lot of their Fans are either happy how their team is, and others don?t know what is going on. The Lions are the worse franchise this decade. They haven't found a QB. Kitna has had ONE good year. McCowan is a joke. They don't have the right players on offense to fit their Martz system. Bad O-Line. New defensive scheme. No way is it a reach to put the Packers ahead of the Lions. Lions will finish with 7 wins at most and I wouldn?t put my money on that many. The NFC North plays a very "easy" schedule on paper. They play the NFC West. If I had to guess. 1. Bears 11-5 2. Vikings 9-7 3. Packers 8-8 4. Lions 6-10 The fact that I read that Kevin Jones has talent, and Ahman Green doesn't because of "injuries" proves that this is nothing more than a weak attempt to bash a team you hate because you were sick of them winning every year. Which they did since 1992 before last year. Kevin Jones is one of the most un-durable backs in the NFL and has been since his days at VT. . Also the fact that Staley is ready to take over and Green can't be a difference any longer also proves my point. By no means are the Pack going to do anything big but by no means are they won one of the 5 worse teams in football.
But look what Gado was working with last year, him Favre, and Driver were the onyl true weapons last year behind an interior O-Line my Grandma could have broken through"............couldn?t have said it better myself. Much of the same this year I must say. I heard Sirius NFL radio talking about the O-line you guys have coming back, lets just say they didn?t sound too optimistic. Let me break down the Staley situation for you. When Staley got injured, there was no need for them to rush him back. Bettis was doing a great job filling in, Parker emerged as a great second threat and Verron Haynes does a great job on third downs. We had so many good RBs that we released Noah Herron so he could go compete to be your starter. Not that Herron doesn?t have talent; he just wasn?t good enough for Pittsburgh. So why not let Staley rehab through the year if Bettis is going to retire at the end of the season? Staley has showed that he can be injury prone if asked to carry the load. Fortunately, we have Parker to take at least half the carries....... Staley is a talented back, I think allot of people forget that.....

Fortunately, we have Parker to take at least half the carries....... Staley is a talented back, I think allot of people forget that.....</div> The O-line is completely different from last year. Scott Wells out played Mike Flanagan last year and is the starter at Center now. We have brand new guards. Out of the 4 guys competing for the job, all 4 are younger guys and all 4 fit the zone scheme. We have a brand new zone blocking scheme that should make it much easier on the lineman and it's a perfect fit for Gado, Green, and Davenport. Our lineman are young and should be able to hold up all year long. Early on I expect a struggle but as the year goes on and as the guys adjust to the zone scheme, they should get better. Last year the Packers offensive line wasn't near as bad as people make it out too be. We finished right around 16th in sacks. It's hard to give a fair assessment to the run game when, all 4 of your backs are injured. Ahman Green has been to the Pro Bowl 3 times in a roll before last years injury. Duce Staley I believe hasn't been to one. Saying Duce can play and Ahman can't, shows bias and inconsistency in my opinion. Why compare the Packers to the Steelers? Green Bay should be better than last year unless they suffer the amount of injuries they had last year. Pittsburgh is the defending Champs. Is this just to rub it in the face of the Packers? We're the Champs and your not! Pitt can do that to anyone but do you have more NFL Titles than anyone? No.. Green Bay isn't focusing on Pittsburgh right now and neither are the fans. GB is focusing on the 2006 season in which they should improve. The team is young, has some talent, had a solid off season. They're not going to win the Super Bowl and probably won't make the playoffs but our money was handled wisely, so we have some for next year. I'm hoping Green Bay puts together a season like Miami did last year. Asking for 7 or 8 wins isn?t much of a reach at all.

They're solid there LB 2 underachievers and a rookie DB Dre Bly and who? That seems like the formula of a 6-10 record too me. Then again when your the Lions + Matt Millen = 6 wins at most.

We didn't do to much to the offense but like the packers we had injuries and those guys are back now.. with muhammad, bradly, and berrian and a few other reciver options.. We still have desmond Clark who like Franks is good at blocking and Goaline plays.. We have Grossman Back and healthy and with experiance under this system he will play very well... Playoff game vs the panthers should show that.. we have Benson, and if he plays Thomas Jones aswell so i am thinking without the devistation of injuries agian we should be just fine.. Oh and if we do lose grossman we have alot better of a QB to come in a fill the void in Greise
I can't beleive you people are arguing over which hopeless NFC North team is better. Truth of the matter is neither one will make the playoffs this year. I think its an outrage that The cowboys are in the top ten. Thats ridiculous honestly, Drew Bledsoe is one of the most overrated QB's ever, he couldnt get it done with Eric Moulds in his prime, what makes people think he can do it with a 30 something cancer who hasnt played since what week 8 or so?

He's thrown for over 40,000 yards and has been to a Super Bowl. Also that 30 year old cancer who is at his prime, is far more talented than Eric Moulds in his prime.
Why compare the Packers to the Steelers? Green Bay should be better than last year unless they suffer the amount of injuries they had last year. Pittsburgh is the defending Champs. Is this just to rub it in the face of the Packers? We're the Champs and your not! Pitt can do that to anyone but do you have more NFL Titles than anyone? No.. Your boy packer fan from florida called out the Steelers. Comparing your third string running back to Willie parker, just trying to set him straight. I didnt compare any other part of your team to the champs. Do we have more NFL titles than anyone?... no but we are tied for the lead and poised to take it over.

My guess is that you dont make much money betting on sports do you?
I don't bet on sports.. not that i don't think i wouldn't be good at it but thats alittle different.. i would pick pitt to win over GB anytime cause Pitt is a better team by far.. I am not a retard when it comes to football its not like i woke up yesterday and said ya know i think i will join an nfl forum just so i can talk about something i know nothing about.. I will give Parker his due he is a decent back.. but my Pref right now is with Gado.. And next year could be with parker Just depends on how each do in the up comming season.. My personal belief is that Gado would have done better in the Pittsburgh situation.. Or parker wouldn't have done all that great in the GB situation Not that Gado was this threat but given the situation i think he preformed very well.. Brett Favre threw 29 ints last season that says you have basically no passing game at all.. The defense had 2 jobs last season when playing GB gaurd Driver, and stop The rushing attack thats it that all a D had to do last year... Now look at Pitt when playing Pitt the Defense had many things to prepare for... Force big ben to make mistakes, gaurd Ward, Find where randle el is and what he is doing.. Try to figure out the 1,2 punch in the rush game and lets not forget miller the TE Defenses had alot harder of a job playing Pitt last season then they Did GB why??? weapons thats why.. Its alot easier to run the ball when the defense has to gaurd so many options
