The Packers should be vastly improved compared to what was a very underwhelming 2015 campaign, at least by their standards.  In 2015 the offense just did not have guys that could get separation, and despite the unreal play of Aaron Rodgers, they just couldn’t generate the type of big plays that make them so special.  That shouldn’t be the case in 2016, as Jordy Nelson, Rodger’s favorite target should be back at full speed.  Eddie Lacy should reappear after his vanishing act in 2015, after he managed to drop some major poundage.  The signing of Jared Cook is also hugely underrated, and he is a play-making tight end that has been stuck with completely incompetent quarterback play in St. Louis for the past few years.  Expect for him to have a career resurgence playing with Aaron Rodgers, and expect a resurgence to the usually stellar Packers offense.  I expect for the Packers to be highly competitive in the NFC, and should have a good a chance as anyone to get to, and win the Super Bowl.
