The Green Bay Packers will look a lot different at the quarterback position next season.
Obviously, not having Aaron Rodgers in town is reason enough for most people to lose their faith in them, especially considering the fact that Jordan Love hasn’t exactly been impressive in the limited snaps he’s played in the league.
However, former NFL star James Jones isn’t so sure about that.
Unlike Emmanuel Acho — who picked the Packers to be dead last in the NFC North — he actually believes they’re going to win the division next season.

Jones made a case for the Packers being a much more complete team overall, adding that it won’t be all on Jordan Love to get the job done.
He raved about the team’s defense, citing that they’re going to give every single one of their rivals a tough time.
Also, there have been some very positive reviews of Love’s development in the offseason, and his teammates seem to be quite confident in his skills to lead the team going forward.
Moreover, Jones dissected how losing Dalvin Cook will doom the Minnesota Vikings and send them to the bottom of the division.
Per Jones, defenses will no longer have to focus on stopping Cook, which means they can now double or triple-team Justin Jefferson, as most of his explosive plays came off play-action passes.
Jones believes Kirk Cousins is in for a very difficult time sans Cook, which is why he chose the Chicago Bears and Detroit Lions to finish above the Vikings in their division.
