Can the Packers make the leap this year?
There are two questions every team must ask of themselves at the start of the season: Can we win the Super Bowl? And will we win the Super Bowl?
The answer to the second one is almost always going to be no. Even during the peaks of the great dynasties in NFL history, it’s always a better bet to pick the field over any one team. But the answer to the first question can help you build a bridge toward the second.
For some teams, the answer in a given season is going to be no. There’s no way we can retool fast enough to contend in a single year. But for some teams — the Packers included — they’ll enter the season with a very real possibility that they can win it all. So what do you have to do to go from being a theoretical contender to maximizing your chances at winning it all?
The answer there will be different for everyone, but our first link today explores some of those factors for the Packers. They certainly find themselves among the tier of teams that can win the Super Bowl this year. They’ve got the pieces — a good coach, a quarterback they believe in, a talented offense, a defense good enough to bail them out of the offense has an off week.
But within those bigger categories are tons of smaller, hyper-nuanced variables. How the Packers navigate those variables will determine exactly how far they go this year — up to and including the Super Bowl.
