    The brother of a friend went to work for the CIA as a numbers analyst. I said to him how hard can that be? There’s only 10 of them?

    I think the OP is being too negative, glass half empty.

    we have older players on defense but TJ is 31, not that old, Cam is pretty durable, and Slay and Ramsey had good years last year. We do have plenty of youth in the LB core and backfield. As well as a promising young guys backing up TJ and Highsmith in Herbig and Sawyer

    WR we have CAIII, promising and talented R Wilson, and Woods who was injured last year but can still play as a backup, in addition to metcalf. Its a better group than last year.

    AR will play behind a young and talented O line that will be fully healthy. AR played a full season last year.

    i think Tomlin and the vets see their window closing and will be focused this year. Dont know what will happen in the playoffs but i can see 11-13 wins in the regular season. The schedule is not that bad.

    I'm not a Rodgers fan but as I said before did Tampa Bay fans post pictures like that when 42 year old Tom Brady took over?

    Your opinion is not reality.


    Speak your opinion as much as you want.


    Your opinion is not serving this organization at all either.


    Hope things get better for you.

    At least Rogers can read defenses and get the ball out fast. I am worried about his age, but we have lacked cerebral QB play the last couple of years. That can help an offensive line.

    I still kind of feel even with all the moves in the offseason and the draft, we are merely treading water and are a lower seed one and done playoff team. That is more due to the stiff competition in the AFC and the fact our Head Coach is not a force multiplier.

    No You are correct. Brady was more reliable, and A. Rodgers was way more talented.

    Both are first ballot HoF players. Brady is insane (and likely the best ever), but Rodgers has been great in his career as well. I don't necessarily think its fair to compare anyone to Brady (outside of Payton Manning). Guys like Rodgers, Brees, Ben, etc. are a half step down for sure.

    I think Payton fits right with Rodgers, Ben, Brees, and the rest . While his regular season work was incredible, his playoffs are almost exactly like Ben's, and he didn't play in a division where 2 to 3 teams went to the playoffs all the time either.

    I don't. The postseason success for Brady is what separates him from Payton (and really from the rest of the league, ever.... 35-13 is ridiculous). Manning is just a better player than Rodgers/Ben/Brees, etc. He just is. Can't always fault him that his defenses were consistently way worse than the defenses Brady had during his run. Some of the postseason issue was on Payton for sure, but I don't think it makes him in the same league as the others. He is the closest to Brady and the only reason he isn't viewed in the same light is based entirely on postseason success.

    Rodgers is the closest. I think Ben and Brees are similar caliber, though they played vastly different styles.

    Yes Brady is hands above the rest.
    Manning is not. .
    1st. Manning played in a cream puff division almost his entire career.
    2nd. Nobody is talking about His Defense.
    Playoffs
    P. Manning 40 tds , 25 turnovers
    Ben 39 tds , 28 turnovers.
    I would say they are pretty freaking close.

    The AFC East was "cream puff" throughout Brady's career with the exception of 2009-10... when Jets made their runs.
