I know it's going to come as a shock, but I've got me here. After watching Aaron Rodgers over the past few seasons, it's nothing short of amazing what he can do with an offense with not a whole lot of superstar players. It seems the Packers have a key injury every year, yet Rodgers keeps on lighting up opposing defenses. Give him weapons such as Rice, Gronk and Thurman Thomas in the passing game, AD in the running game and 4 and soon to be 5 HOF's on the O-line, and I feel that this offense is damn near unstoppable.

UK's secondary does present a challenge, but I feel Rodgers would eventually settle in and find just enough holes to get the win.

I think Jeffro has an awesome offense, but I do to. I have a much better defense across the board and would be able to get some stops. Jeffro's D would have no answers IMO. Shootout for sure

UK 45
Jeffro 31

 

[Nosferatu]

I actually think I like Jeffors offense a little more because of his offensive line being better, Moss is the best of the WR's IMO but Jeffro has a great group, running backs are both top of the line, great QB's slight edge to Rodgers although as I said before Moon is so good for Moss its scary.

Jeffro would get no pressure on Moon without blitzing Thomas and or Suggs and that would leave alot of one on one which would not be a good thing for Jeffros secondary. Not really sure I like the Alstott pick though. I'm gonna take some more time this is really close. I have gone back and forth on this...

 

[MilkSpiller22]

Jeffro's offense is scary... UK's offense is amazing too, but not as good as Jeffro...

But I see UK's defense to be better all around... UK hid his weakest player much better than Jeffro, Marcus Stroud is next to deacon Jones, Bob lilly and Jason Taylor... While Jeffro has his 3 weakest players all playing defense and they are all very weak(McCoy, Johnson, and Mathis)...

Those 3 players get killed IMO and will be the reason for UK to win...

 

[Mebert]

I will be honest Jeffro's team pisses me off. I took the role of 4-3 or 3-4 linebacker very seriously, I think position matter, it led to me having Bulluck on my roster when there are several 3-4 linebackers that are much better players(Tippet was one I looked at). It is basically 2 pass rush specialist in a coverage role, and it is a role I don't think either of those players would do well at. It does not matter to me how good those 2 are, they are as good as they are for pass rush, and 4-3 LB's don't blitz that often.

As far as team comparisons these are the 2 best offenses picked, UK has the deep threat, and Jeffro has a bunch of very reliable WR's and one of the most accurrate QB's of all time. Plus Gronk doing Gronk things is a huge addition. I think both Olines would get dominated. This is a shootout, and I think UK's team is better built to win a game like that

I think Mebert is an asshole for stealing most of my material so he can have a better breakdown than me... But missed something else, Ronde is 5'10"... How many times do you think Moon is going to throw it up to Randy vs him...? It's not a gimme every play but you gotta think he's going to make that throw to either one of his outside guys when Ronde has them 1on1... And you can't put him on the slot not only because Dez is there but because I'd rather him cover than Mathis... I think Jeffro went all in on pass and doesn't have enough on D to hold UK enough... As everyone else said, a shoutout and I think it would be the greatest game to ever see if you like offense...

UK - 63
Jeffro - 56

I was following the more explanations mandate of 2015!!!!!!!

Eventhough it's not my match I appreciate it... You made most of the points I saw and then some...

But you did miss the secondary points...

 

[Nosferatu]

I dont believe Dickerson or Alstott were great receivers out of the backfield so that helps Jeffro slightly. I just cant get over having players out of position and no pass rush for Jeffro. I really do like both of these teams but I gotta lean UK because of the defenses.

The only player out if position is Suggs. Thomas played in a 4-3 for 4 seasons.

Thomas played both. Personally, I have no problem with Suggs in a 4-3, if he had been drafted 4-3, I believe he would have been a Von Miller type, probably not much in coverage but lots of sacks

 

[Nosferatu]

It was actually 2 seasons and I watched the guy play his entire career he was an OLB in a 3-4 but this isnt why I didnt vote for you, I believe I voted for you in previous matchups didnt I?

Thomas played ROLB in a 4-3 defense in 1992 (14.5 sacks), 1994 (11 sacks), 1995 (8 sacks).
Thomas played LOLB in a 4-3 defense in 1996 (13 sacks)

ROLB means right OUTSIDE linebacker, it would be listed ar RLB in a 4-3
