They have perfected the formula
Let them sit watch learn than give them the keys
Even Favre had time in Atlanta before Green Bay
Very smart strategy
They’ve never overpaid for skill players either
Finding less heralded guys to fill those spots

The Packers being publicly owned I think really helps them. It allows them to hire good people to properly manage the franchise and you don’t get the negatives of an ego maniac billionaire owner constantly fricking it up because he/she “knows best” or being cheap to pinch pennies


Let’s check back in on this after their matchup with the 49ers, Joe Barry should’ve been fired a while ago. If they had an actual owner then he would be gone.

The scheme that Matt Lafleur had was superior. Even Derek Carr would have had a very good day. TE wide open.....WR wide open....both by about 20 yards. Aaron Jones chowed them up as well.

Not saying Jordan Love is not good to very good, but the scheme won that game.

Bengals with Ken Anderson, Boomer Esiason, Jeff Blake, Carson Palmer, Andy Dalton, Joe Burrow. The Bengals have consistently had good QB’s, just can never get over the hump with them.


Conveniently left off Akili Smith.

Steelers - Bradshaw and Roethlisberger?


The Steelers wandered through the desert between those two.

Buddy Brister. Mark Malone. Tommy Maddox. Neil O'Donnell.

Putting those Baws in a list with Joe Burrow

Well Ken Anderson and Boomer both won an MVP as a Bengal, something Joe Burrow has not, so how dare I put Joe Burrow on the same list as those two. I’m just saying the Bengals have been pretty consistent with QB play for a while. It’s obviously not on the Packers level, but a hell of a lot better than most NFL franchises.

O'Donnell did get the Steelers within an interception of a Super Bowl win

More like one of the most fierce defenses ever got them there. The qb is why they lost.

Hes had a great 2 months but im curious to see his sophomore year. He has a ton of upside, but I remember Vince Young and RG3 tearing it up their fist year, too.

Green Bay had two very good QBs in the 80's: Lynn Dickey and Don Majkowski.

Neither were HOF material, but both were above average quarterbacks.

No they havent. Esiason left Cinn in 1992. They had a brief period of great QB play from Carson Palmer almost 20 yrs ago and have been average to awful since.
