Here's the game:
The Packers are in the Super Bowl, and you get to pick the offense "skill players" that Green Bay trots out.
Here are the assumptions:
Don Mojkowski
Running Backs (Pick 3- one must be a fullback)
Dorsey Levens
Ahman Green
James Starks
Edgar Bennett
Michael Haddix
Travis Jervey
Wide Receiver (Pick 3)
Donald Driver
Sterling Sharpe
Antonio Freeman
Robert Brooks
Tight End (Pick one)
Mark Chmura
Here's my team
Quarterback: Aaron Rodgers.
I really thought about picking Favre. He just had such a penchant for making the big play. But Rodgers is more efficient and less prone to costly interceptions. But it was close. I didn't just automatically take Rodgers.
Running Backs:
Ahman Green and Ryan Grant with Edgar Bennett as my fullback. I really wanted to put Levens on my team. He is one of my favorite Packers ever (don't ask me why, I don't know) But he's just not better than Grant. I trust anyone of these backs to take a healthy chunk of carries and move the chains.
Wide Receivers:
Sterling Sharpe, Greg Jennings, Antonio Freeman.
This was was agonizing to pick. How do I leave off Donald Driver and Robert Brooks, to say nothing of the brilliant seasons that Walker had?
Sharpe was obvious- the man probably would be considered a top ten, if not top 5, receiver of all time if he hadn't had that career ending injury. He'd stack up to Megatron or Fitz any day in my book.
I had to include the master of routes, so Jennings was in. It was close between Freeman, Brooks and Driver. Call me nostalgic for the 90s Super Bowl years, I chose Freeman, though I am open to being wrong on this pick.
Tight End:
Mark Chmura
It should be Keith Jackson- but his best year's were with the Eagles, I couldn't honestly pick him as a Packer. Chmura had some solid seasons for us in the 90s, he gets the nod.
