Yes, especially with Tom injuries in 2025, I also think that could go to Bulaga, despite him being a rookie in 2010. But I was trying to let that one slide, as rookie Bulaga was a great point and 2025 needs to win some of them.


I think if fully healthy, you can make a case that experienced Tom is better than rookie Bulaga and that Banks/Jenkins at LG is better than Colledge but they simply weren't healthy.


Also prime Finley, but got injured, vs Prime Kraft, but got injured, could be an interesting debate but Finley got injured early in the season, where Kraft made it half way or more give him a clear edge.


Also I don't think the 2025 Packers planned to use Hobbs in the slot... BUT that was his best position, and I wonder if a healthy Hobbs (though he also wasn't healthy) but a healthy slot Hobbs might beat out a rookie slot Shields.

Also it's different systems... like in the 2010 system, Shields beats Bullard... BUT in the 2025 system, Bullard might beat Shields in the slot that is. But overall, I'd go with Shields, as while he would make errors (an UDFA rookie), his elite speed let him make up for them, and he was willing to hit trying to prove himself especially early on.



But the 2025 Packers just don't line compare well to the 2010 Packers, then again, the 2010 Packers never trailed the entire season more than 7 points (I believe), which is basically unheard of, not in one single game.
