When a young team overachieves the way the Green Bay Packers did in the second half of the 2023 season, it leaves fans hyperventilating through the offseason. Expectations are already pretty much out of control in cheesehead country. This proud franchise figures to be back in “Super Bowl or Bust” mode when the curtain opens on the 2024 campaign.
Sitting in his office at 1265 Lombardi Avenue, general manager Brian Gutekunst is fine with that. It’s good for the fans to be pumped up. It’s a positive that the team is held to the highest standard. What would not be good, would be these young, impressionable players reading and listening to how great they are for the next five months, and then coming to camp in the summer contented and overconfident.
