some of you have a higher opinion of this roster than I do because I'd say the results this season are about what I expected.

This is the most favorable schedule the Pack has played in years.
Four 0-3 teams (Bears, Broncos, Raiders, and Vikings) face off this weekend and the Pack has 5 games against remaining against them. 1 of the 2 wins to date was over the hapless Bears.
The 2023 Packers will likely manage to win 7 or 8 games.
Then, the usual ducky & bunny crowd will convince themselves that the franchise is in great shape because the youngest team in the NFL somehow nearly made the playoffs ... followed by getting all excited when Gutey takes another great defensive player in round 1 of the 2024 draft ... rinse, repeat.
If the Packers manage to win 7 or 8 games this season then yes they are in pretty darn good shape going forward. Imagine what would happen when their young guys develop and they get out of the Cap hell their in right now.
I'm mostly with you here, but I'm not sure what the ceiling is with "their young guys develop."
There will be drafts to add in the future but I don't think any of the young talent resides on OL or RB. WR/TE has some room to blossom but I don't think we have Tyreek Hill/Travis Kelce there, though there is a world where Musgrave/Watson are stars maybe.
On defense I have some excitement for LVN and maybe Wyatt/Quay. Gary is really good but is going to demand a huge contract to stay. The defense also currently sucks, yet again. There is no youth with major upside in the secondary other than Jaire who has already been paid handsomely.
I'm middle path here but I am not sure I'm seeing a really high ceiling for the
current group here. Of course there are several drafts coming up to improve things.
