I was wondering where you see the division headed in not only the immediate future but 2,3 years down the road.
Green Bay - As long as we have a healthy #12 I think we can assume it will be business as usual. Lacy is only going to trend up over the next couple years. The Oline is the best we have seen since 2003, and we have weapons galore at receiver.
On defense, its the same thing every year. I have liked our last 2 drafts it seems we have added some real athletes that can play multiple positions but for once can we have a defense that doesn't have long lapses of bad play? This is the one area that I think has cost us a couple more rings over the years.
Minnesota - They seem to finally have a coach. I am not sold on Bridgewater yet. His long ball is average at best but if they use him similar to how Seattle uses Wilson he can be dangerous. AP isn't getting any younger and its hard to gage where he will be physically in 2 or 3 more years. I love their TE Rudolph but need some better weapons outside.
On defense they have a lot of talent across the board and will hit you. Zimmer is a defensive guru and I see this unit only getting better. I expect them to be the Packers biggest threat over the next few years.
Detroit - I just don't get this team. So much talent and so underperforming. Stafford is quietly turning into Jay Cutler. Abdullah looks like he could be a beast. Megatron just turned 30 and has been slowed by injuries the last couple years.
Defensively losing Suh seems to have hurt them more than they thought it would. There is talent there but for some reason it, like the team underperforms. I don't like Caldwell as a coach. He made a name being handed a Super Bowl ready team in Indy and seems like he is too quiet or nice to be a coach. They are the hardest team to get a read on.
Chicago - What a mess right now. Fox was a great hire and he put together a hell of a staff. Cutler is Cutler and you have to assume is gone next year or the year after. They need work on the line but have Jeffrey and Bennett who are legit weapons. Forte is getting up there in age too so that will change the look of their offense when he is gone.
Fangio is a great DC but the problem is they are running a scheme that doesn't fit their personal. That should improve with a couple more drafts and offseasons. I think they are a season or two away from making any noise but if anybody can turn them around its Fox. I sure hope he does its always good for business when the Packer - Bear rivalry is competitive and it hasn't been for along time.
Now granted all it takes is a career ending injury to any major player and everything changes but as it stands this is what I'm seeing.
