“The Packers have had two Hall of Fame quarterbacks and just two championships! What a waste!” This is a common criticism of the Packers, even among Packers’ fans who are frustrated with just two championships despite having All-World quarterbacks for nearly 30 years. In an era that includes Tom Brady with six Superbowl rings, it is easy to see why. All-time great quarterbacks are expected to win multiple Superbowls. The argument, though, is flawed. The fact of the matter is that there have only been 12 quarterbacks to ever win more than one Superbowl. If the Packers and Rodgers are…

Aaron Rodgers spoke publicly for the first time since the NFL Draft, an event in which the Packers selected quarterback Jordan Love in the first round. Since that night, speculation has run wild through social media. Is Aaron angry? Will he be traded? What does this mean for the organization? Here are five takeaways from Rodgers’ interview: His Thoughts About The Jordan Love Pick One of the first questions asked to Rodgers was in regard to his initial reaction to the Jordan Love pick. Rodgers admitted to being surprised by the pick. However, he also stated that he understood that…

Following 2018, the Packers were searching for a head coach for the first time in over a decade. Mike McCarthy had been fired and Joe Philbin did not inspire confidence as a long-term replacement. Matt LaFleur came to Green Bay as a first-year head coach and the team exceeded expectations under his system. After winning 13 games and an appearance in the NFC Championship game in 2019, expectations should certainly be high for 2020. How high? Here, we take a look at three reasonable expectations the Packers should have under LaFleur this year: Aaron Rodgers Will Return to MVP Form…

The Green Bay Packers selected Utah State quarterback Jordan Love with the 26th overall pick in the 2020 draft. Naturally, this pick sparked controversy among fans. Many oppose the pick as Rodgers is still playing at a high level and has stated that he wants to play beyond his current contract. Others have compared this situation to the one the Packers had when the drafted Rodgers with the 24th overall pick in 2005. The claim is that Love can learn under Rodgers just as Rodgers learned under Favre. The relationship between Favre and Rodgers, though, may not have been as…

After the 2020 NFL Draft, it is apparent the Green Bay Packers are confident in their current. Many fans predicted the Packers to focus on the wide receiver and inside linebacker positions in the earlier rounds of the draft. These two positions were the most apparent deficits on the Packer’s roster at the end of the 2019 season. They acquired Funchess and Kirksey in FA; however, both of these signings seem more like a “band-aid” than a true fix. Funchess Funchess, for being an early second round selection in 2015 NFL draft, has had an underwhelming career in the NFL. …

The Packers shocked the football world during the annual NFL draft. Perhaps no one group of people were more shocked than their own fans. For months, fans and football analysts alike expected the Packers to draft a wide receiver or two. Instead, the Packers drafted a quarterback, running, back, tight end, and several linemen. No wide receivers. Why? Here at OTHWisconsin, we will give three reasons why the Packers simply did not need one in the draft. The Way the Draft Board Fell According to Brian Gutenkunst, the Packers had too low of a pick to get a worthwhile wide…

The Packers shocked the football world by trading up four spots in order to select Utah State’s quarterback, Jordan Love. After falling one game short of the Super Bowl, many fans questioned the sanity of the Packers for choosing a quarterback with their first pick. After all, the Packers still need another wide receiver and inside linebacker. In addition, the window is still open to “win now” with Aaron Rodgers. Why go after a quarterback when your future Hall of Famer still plans on playing for a long time? Here are three reasons why we can actually “love” Jordan Love.…

Going into the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft, the Packers were expected to fill holes at wide receiver and inside linebacker. However, in a surprise move, they traded up four spots to select quarterback Jordan Love from Utah State. The last time the Packers drafted a quarterback in the first round was in 2005, when Aaron Rodgers fell to the Pack at Pick 24. The Packers, of course, were one game away from the Super Bowl last season. Many believe that as Rodgers is in his late-30’s, the team should surround him with as many pieces as possible…

Aaron Rodgers has never been shy to share his opinion, whether it be about football or politics. However, Rodgers has drawn a line in the sand. He will not be telling people whether or not they should be staying at home in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. During a guest appearance on AJ Hawk’s podcast, Rodgers stated the following: “One thing that I haven’t done or will not do is be one of who’s telling you how difficult it is or stay-in-your-home stuff from a mansion. There’s real people hurting, so I’m not going to sit here in my privilege…

Jason Spriggs, the former second round pick by the Packers, has signed a one-year contract with the rival Chicago Bears. The Packers had traded up in the 2016 draft to select Spriggs, giving up a second, fourth, and seventh round selection to the Colts. Despite high hopes for Spriggs, he never really panned out to be worth moving up for. He was the only Packers’ offensive rookie to appear in all 16 games in 2016, but has struggled to stay on the field since then. He only played in seven games in 2017 and was limited to 13 games in…
