4. After just missing out on the NFC North title last year, is there anything keeping the Packers from taking the division now that Teddy Bridgewater is out of the mix?

"Honestly, I don’t think Teddy Bridgewater influences the North. Bridgewater has yet to show me anything that jumps off the screen of being a true franchise quarterback. Sam Bradford might actually be an upgrade once he learns the system. Green Bay is the class of the North. The only thing that can block the Packers from winning the North -is the Packers."

My take:

Wow, Josh has some hot takes on Teddy. While I don’t think he’s the best of the young quarterbacks, I think the Vikings chances at the playoffs took a huge nosedive when he got hurt. Sam Bradford is not good at football and is at best an underwhelming game manager. Still, Josh agrees that the Packers don’t have much in the way of their path to the NFC North title.

Next: Upset alert? Nah.
