To put it blunty (and nicely) the NFC North doesn’t look exceedingly strong in 2017. The Packers started 2016 with a record of 4-6 and rallied to win yet another division title in the Ted Thompson-Mike McCarthy-Aaron Rodgers era.
At least this early in the offseason, it looks like Green Bay should repeat as NFC North champs in 2017.
Last year, the Chicago Bears finished 3-13. They rotated quarterbacks early before eventually settling on Matt Barkley (ouch) and have since moved on from longtime starter Jay Cutler.
