Their drafts have been bad, they remind me of the Packers under McCarthy his last 3-4 years where they never really hit on anyone, Falcons hit on Hooper by luck in the 5th I think, but I wouldnt be sold on Hooper performing to any level past this year if they clean house, similar to how Cam Meredith was in Chicago for 1 year and went into a power house offense the next.

Good comparison though the Packers dug their own hole by completely ignoring free agency for years.

I never believed they were really that great of a team during Rodgers' prime cause they would get blown the hell out embarrassingly in the playoffs. NFC favorites every year and would look like garbage when they finally ran into a decent team in the playoffs. Their fans talk about 2014 a lot, but I'm fairly confident if they win the NFCCG, New England would've took care of them with ease in the Super Bowl. The Pats had barely lost to them in the regular season at Lambeau and Bill B rarely ever loses to the same opponent twice.

They were always several pieces away from being a true legit contender, but playing in a crappy division and racking up 5-6 easy wins vs Chicago, Minnesota and Detroit used to mask that.

Even this year, I'm still not convinced the Packers are that good. They're beating up on a crappy division yet again, and haven't looked impressive in any of their wins. They beat the Vikings before Kirk Cousins got hot and even in that game, they struggled. They barely beat the Chiefs without Mahomes and 3 of their defensive starters and looked very beatable that whole game.
