The Packer way (which actually was the old NFL way) is the best method to develop QB's. Draft a QB ahead of time and let him be the #2 for 3-5 years and then give the next QB the reigns. Rodgers and Love succeeded because of the patience and confidence of this process. I hope next year we put Haener at the #2 spot or draft a QB to compete with Haener for that right.

+1.

And lack of urgency has been puzzling. We've seen countless teams doing broad evaluations of staff and players, but we have guys taking vacation for a week. I don't expect to see many (if any) changes on the offensive side of the ball.

Watching the Lions & Dan Campbell turn a losing franchise into serious playoff contenders ... THAT is a Leader. The energy, the drive, the hunger.

Like the guy said in that Remember The Titans Movie .. "attitude reflects leadership".

2024 will be bad, just watch.

The front office probably feels that there is no need for a sense of urgency when you're just making a few tweaks to the system. This front office desperately needs a point of view and fresh perspective from the outside. The product is getting stale.
