Now we have one other set of fan polls to share with you this week, together with an attention-grabbing quarterback comparability from the nationwide polling. As a reminder, scroll right down to the feedback and share your ideas on the polls, when you’re so prepared. Let’s get into it.

First, let’s speak in regards to the nationwide outcome. Three-quarters of respondents imagine that Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa may have a greater season in 2023 than Inexperienced Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love. Personally, I’m extra optimistic that Love is a long-term reply for Inexperienced Bay than Tagovailoa is for Miami. With that being mentioned, the Dolphins did choose up Tua’s fifth-year possibility whereas the Packers opted to go along with a one-year extension that fell in need of the fifth-year possibility’s ensures, so possibly we shouldn’t be shocked by these outcomes.

I need to discuss these two information factors in tandem, as a result of I believe it tells an attention-grabbing story. To start with, two-thirds of Packers followers imagine they’ll see extra development on the offensive facet of the ball this 12 months, which shouldn’t come as a shock as Love and the pass-catchers are very younger.

What’s attention-grabbing, although, is the juxtaposition to the subsequent ballot, the place practically three-quarters of Packers followers said that they imagine that Inexperienced Bay will win video games due to the protection in 2023. If Packers followers imagine that they’ll see extra development on offense however the protection goes to win them video games, that each one factors again to folks considering that the protection is already nearer to competing at a excessive degree — regardless of their poor total metrics in 2022. There’s little question in my thoughts that this all comes again to the notion of the present goat on the group: defensive coordinator Joe Barry.

4-fifths of Packers followers suppose the door has closed on a possible return of kicker Mason Crosby, regardless of the group giving the potential of a reunion some lip service. If that is it, I hope Crosby has a cheerful future — be it with one other group or in retirement — and am excited to see him finally added to the Packers Corridor of Fame in a number of years.

Even though the Minnesota Vikings gained 4 extra video games than the Detroit Lions final season, the vast majority of Packers followers suppose the Lions are the group to beat within the NFC North this 12 months. In fact, a season-long file doesn’t inform the entire story right here. The Vikings gained loads of shut video games, which usually even out over time, whereas the Lions began 1-6 in 2022 earlier than occurring an 8-2 run to complete the season.
