NFL 2015 Season Week 3 Picks

>Packers' injuries keep mounting but as long as Rodgers is on the field, they've got a good chance.

That's because Ted Thompson is so good at finding talent everywhere! Or we just pretend that and the reality is any random replacement level NFL level talents look good with a top QB who has actually been masking a fairly mediocre team for a while.

One or the other. It must be the former, because of course there's no precedent for a team going from Superbowl competitor to terrible, and then back, based on the QB.

Are you picking a fight with me?

I'm waiting for a certain someone's head to explode at the news that Kam Chancellor might return exactly 1 week after the Seahawks played the Packers.

That, or the potential number one pick fell in his lap. There was no transition at all. Not even a hint of it at the time, just the fact that football players don't play forever. They chose Favre over Rodgers many many times, including that last season. Reportedly it wasn't until that final season, where they agreed to let Favre come back after much hemming and hawing, only to be followed up by him have 57th thoughts and pulling back again weeks shy of the season that they FINALLY decided it was time. They chose Favre every time, right up until the point where it was almost impossible to do so, because you can't not know about your QB within a stone's throw of the season.

Even if you wanted to give credit to him for pulling the trigger on drafting him, that's one good move, that potentially masks every other one, and arguably a very shoddy job at managing his cap masquerading as "doing it right", because he can almost never afford a free agent if he wanted to (but somehow we ignore that he's quick to whenever they can actually afford to squeeze a FA in-between giving every DB he's ever drafted 9 million per season and Bubba Franks being paid about 20 times too much.)
