There are only a handful of NFL teams who can count themselves as true Super Bowl contenders heading into next season. The Green Bay Packers are one of them. Here's 5 reasons the Green Bay Packers can win the Super Bowl next season.
1. Aaron Bleeping Rodgers
He's the best quarterback in the NFL, bar none. You can take your Tom "The Deflatemeister" Brady or Peyton Manning in the twilight of his career. We'll take a QB who makes NFL Sundays look like Arena Football League exhibitions.
2. Eddie Lacy Will Take Another Leap
Two 1,000-yard rushing seasons to start his career is fantastic enough, but Lacy's primed to be a #1 fantasy stud in 2015. Call it intuition, but his growth as a safety-valve receiver and his 1/2 yard increase per carry last season (from 4.1 to 4.6) portends great things to come.
3. Offensive Line Amazingness
How do you ensure your offense zips along at record efficiency? You couldn't do much better than employing the men who make up the most impenetrable offensive line in all of the NFL. The aforementioned Aaron Rodgers and Eddie Lacy can push greatness to new heights in 2015, and a lot of that has to do with the men in front of them.
4. Damarious Randall's First-Year Impact
Cornerbacks coach Joe Whitt has made starters out of defensive backs with 1/4 of Randall's skill set. While his true cover skills are a work in progress, Randall's athleticism and ball skills/instincts could instantly sure up the back of Green Bay's defense.
5. It's Time
The Seattle Seahawks are primed and ready for a collapse after they watched their hearts get ripped out in Super Bowl 49. The Dallas Cowboys have Darren McFadden as their feature back. The Detroit Lions...are the Detroit Lions. And don't get us started about the NFC South.
The path is clearing for this Packers squad. All they need is for the games to start.
