What should the 2015 Packers look like ?

We all have opinions, here is your chance to express your dream team for the Packers !

IMO, the Packers 2015 Offense will be among the top 3 in the entire league.
I dream of a Defense that is ranked among the top 5, but I'm afraid that is only a dream. It is literally a gamble the way Ted Thompson builds teams. He has come up lucky with the Offense, and will now be rolling the dice to get Defensive players.

I don't see this stiff necked attitude changing. Perhaps the dice will land in the Packers favor before Aaron Rodgers retires . :crazy:

It is not literally a gamble and the Packers are not lucky on how they build teams. The philosophy is transparent for everyone to see by now. You CANNOT win it all EVERY year and folks need to understand this and stop DEMANDING it to be done year in year out. The NFL is not Madden on Rookie and no one is saying that, but sometimes how we say things, it sure as hell comes off like it.

The Packers build their teams very intelligently and planned out and sure they make mistakes, but guess what, YOU make mistakes everyday, why? Because just like those running the Packers, we are all HUMAN! If there was an exact science, then the NFL wouldn't be fun at all because one team would win every freaking year.

I am telling you folks. I was not there for the 70's and barely remember the 80's, but please appreciate what we have and stop being so greedy. That being said, we should NOT be complacent either. The Packers will fix things and they will win the Super Bowl THIS SEASON.

You can bet your ass there are two dozen fan bases out there that would LOVE to have the architecture and stability that we Packers fans have with our Packers organization.

Assuming we don't have any key players go down I think we should look roughly the same as now. Great offens with a lower-mid defense.

No disagreement about building the team fairly intelligently, etc.. I just say, Excellent - defined as being NEAR the top every year ain't quite good enough. It is NOT maximizing the fantastically great good fortune of having a QB like Rodgers. Ted should do better. If he hangs around for 10 or 20 years after the Rodgers Era - which he probably won't - he'd be pretty damn old, and if he continued the same level of excellence that long, yeah, then he would be a truly great GM. What he has done up to now, though, is make one incredibly GREAT/LUCKY (take your pick) decision - getting Aaron Rodgers, and then he (and we) has basically been benefiting from that decision ever since.

That's nice, but IMO, it ain't quite good enough.

The original question was "What should the 2015 Packers look like ?".

My answer would be not much different than 2014, and that's a good thing. Continuing Capers style D with a heavy dose of Clay Matthews at ILB; Drafting a Corner early along with Hayward outside and Hyde in the Slot; Increased use of Jayrone Elliot at OLB - a breakout year for him; Greatly increased use of Jeff Janis and maybe Abbrederis, resulting in an even better passing game.

That little bit of upgrade may be just enough to put us over the top.

As much as many want this or that, the greatest need is to fill the Defensive holes at ILB & CB . Next add LB's & CB's that can be utilized to improve the Special Teams.

Yes, I said Special Teams ! Think of just how many plays the Special Teams are involved in. Think also of how many big plays and turnovers occur on ST plays ! The Kicker and the Punter are not the issue, players with speed that can tackle are .

With 9 Draft Picks, I believe the Packers should take 3 LB's, 3 CB's, then look at best players available for the final 3 picks.

I expect to see the same powerful offense, due to the Aaron Rodgers factor.
I expect the defense to be worse, due to a number of personnel deficiencies.
I expect to see the Packers once again to win the division.
I can hardly wait to see what the 2015 divisional champions tee shirt looks like.

The 2015 Green Bay Packers should look like a American football team comprised of the best 53 players they can find coached by a head coach and his various assistants. :faroah:
