To be honest jp I am feeling less than optimistic about the season without Drew. I always sat right in front of the QB's and O-line because that is where the offensive production starts and to me that is the biggest draw for football to me. Playing in the trenches is similar to playing in the scrum(#'s 1-8) and playing scrum half(#9) which is where the QB came from throwing the ball from the lines to the running backs/skill positions as the game developed. That is where my interest lays since I also played the scrum half(QB) position for a few years.

The defense is on the far side of the field so I don't observe them nearly as much even though we played both ways. Rugby players are on offense one moment and then defense the next. Defense is where most of the position battles will occur besides punter. I've just lost the drive to with no fan interaction or autographs for now but I'll get it back once we kick off our first preseason game. Don't take away my fanatical card though.

Looking more like we won't be facing Aaron Rodgers in week one.

Lol.

Not me. ARod is still elite at QB and we have ? marks at CB #2.

Hopefully he’s traded to a AFC team.

Right there with you. I've never bought into that "wanting to beat them at their best". Give me an opponent with no QB like the Broncos last year. Now that was a fun stress free game.

But who is the Packers WR2? They've got WR Devante Adams (Lattimore/Suspension?) and TE Robert Tonyan (Davis/Alexander?)...

That's one of the reported reasons why Rodgers is dissatisfied in GB...

Not to mention they let go of his boy, Kumerow. All Rodgers really wants is for GM Brian Gutekunst to fire himself. It is not about the money or players anymore. He will not co-exist with Gutekunst. The money, and or players can come with a new GM. That's what I got from Rob Demovsky, the Packers beat writer for ESPN. He said that there was "less than a 5% chance that its's Rodgers" when asked who will be the day one starter against the Saints.

With out Onyemata it would be a tough task. Also, we still don't know who will be our CB's? I hope Rodgers plays poorly with a new team. He's too full of himself unlike Drew for my taste. It's satisfying to watch a big ego flame out.

What if he ends up with the Saints?

Well, I am hoping for a legit QB battle, so I'm excited for that as well as for the new additions on defense, especially if we sign Kwon Alexander...

Is this team a Superbowl contender? Well, it's not as automatic as it was when Drew Brees was under center, but it lends for the opportunity to be pleasantly surprised...

But there's a lot going on this year, so it shouldn't be a boring camp...
