Watching the Packers offseason moves this year, I’m thinking they are either going to be a playoff team or another 4-12 team. They have more raw talent than they’ve had in years but the players are young and are going to need time to develop.

Ever since Ted Thompson was hired as the Green Bay Packers general manager, there has been about half the Packers fans wanting him fired. They believe, as long as he’s in charge, the Packers will never win again.
