So if we are keeping it real and being 100 on this board, the easiest prediction on all is pretty straight forward: From post-week 1 on an overwhelming majority of the discussion on this message board will spend the year centering on the endless amount of complaining about Hackett's inability to do his job. With the variety of everybody pointing "who's fault is it he's still here" fingers at their own favorite season killer scapegoats. Which of course and end game will just ultimately end up with the same overly optimistic people here adopting a similarly overly optimistic take a year from now on the rebound chance: "It's wasn't Rodgers' fault the 2024 offense basically sucked with Hackett. You can't count or put any further signs of decline stock into 2024 and a 41yo Aaron Rodgers' sub-20 TD season going in to 2025. Rodgers is still an MVP production talent and is 100% going to be way better in 2025 without Hackett dragging him down, and who again is clearly NOT at fault for Hackett having been here." Book that in ink lol
You are not wrong. Regardless of the fact that the topic has been discussed, ad nauseum, that Rodgers "runs" the offense while Hackett is on the bench, sitting on a football flapping his arms ala Henry Winkler in the Waterboy! LOL LOL I can see Hackett now, sporting a bright red pair of Jimmy Choo's, with a 4" heel, calling in to his "momma" complaining about Saleh. "I hate him, I hate him, I hate him..."
I was going to put no more than 6 wins in this post as well, but pretty much nailed it. I never bought into the hype the media was spewing about SB contender.
On the whole, I think I did OK. Close. They didn't really give the Eagles a run for their money in the division, but made the playoffs, got the wild card, and did so on the back of a strong performance by their rookie QB. Close. 49ers didn't make the playoffs, but they did limp through the season and struggled to be consistent. Close again, but in reverse. The Pats weren't better than expected, but they did battle the Jets for third place in the AFC East, because the Jets were much worse than expected. Not too far off. Three of the four teams made the playoffs. Darnold played well (until he didn't at the end) and made the Pro Bowl. The Bears stunk, though. Should have seen that one coming, but can't win them all.
Gotta give you props on the Washington call. Neither the Bears not the Patsies could get out of their own way but Daniels clearly set the WFT apart. Interested in interviewing for the Jets GM position?
Besides the Vikings, my draft order pick was really close. Most of my takes were quite good. Sent from my genius mind.
