Not sure why the Packers are being listed as a team with a quarterback to get to a Super Bowl. They have had great quarterbacks and been to the Super Bowl once in the last 16 years, same as the Bears over that time period.

Correction they won twice in 20 years and made 3 Super Bowls. Bears only made the SB twice in 30 years and only won 1. Plus Packers with Bart Starr won 2 SBs. So the Packers have 4 SBs and the bears 1. Who had the better team and FO?

That's not a correction, that's a different timeframe. The Packers have been in one super bowl in 16 years, that is 100% correct.

Obviously. When you find one let us know.

Conner Cook, Hackenburg, Golf, Jones next year could be like the class of 1984 when Elway, Kelly, and Marino came out.

You are picking and choosing time frame to fit your argument, but which was the better team in the last 16 years? Who made the playoffs more? Who played in more NFC Championships? Who won a super Bowl and who didn't? If the Bears won an Super Bowl, then you can make the argument that it doesn't matter, but they didn't.

That was 83 but if you're right I hope the Bears get one of them.

Didn't you accuse someone of cherry picking in another thread just minutes ago?

Please note: You were wrong in your use of the term there, and this is classic cherry picking.

The Packers have been a successful organization for over 2 decades now; you can cherry pick them all day, but they are a franchise to be emulated.

I disagree they don't build a balanced team their defense has been bad their special teams less than average their build seems to stay top heavy on offense and that's why you don't see them winning more championships even with back to back great qb's

Seems like we hear this every year. Don't think these guys are that highly touted though, from what I've heard, NFL is most high on Hackenberg.

Lol at trying to pinpoint down reasons why GB doesn't have 3 SB's instead of 2 in the last 20 yrs or so. I mean that's sort of ridiculous to bring up.

They've won an average of 10.4 games in the last 20 yrs.

They've won over half the divisional titles in the last 20 yrs in the north.

I am too tired to rattle off the rest, but suffice to say the Bears would do well to take a page from whatever GB is doing.

And suffice it to say, the Bears would do well to rid themselves of the Packers' greatest ally, #6.

These 4 QBs could all go in the top 10 next year. All these QBs are better than Mariota and a safer choice than Winston.

Not to worry, I'm sure the Bears will be picking in the top 10 next year.

I'd much rather see the bears build a well balanced team in all three phases than copy the model the packers have been using its fail where it matters and that's the playoffs and championships look no further than the seahawks or new England that have strong balanced teams to see real championship caliber teams not the onesided monster the packers favor

How bad would we have to be to draft top ten? 5-11?
To draft top five? 4-12? 3-13?

Yes, if only their personnel people could draft a back to compliment ARod or a young DB to refresh the secondary a bit, maybe sign a pass rusher to compliment Clay....

Wait....

Give it a rest, you guys sound like Michigan fans bashing Urban Meyer and talking about how he'll get sick any day now and leave. You can't just ignore reality even if the Pack fan base would be my first choice for deletion from the human race via eugenics.
