The Green Bay Packers figure to be in a really good position to make the playoffs in 2024. Just one full year since the Packers decided to trade away four-time MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers, they could even make a push to be Super Bowl Contenders.
One coach recognizes what is going on in Green Bay and wants to stick around for it.
One Green Bay Packers Coach Came Back For 2024 Instead Of Retiring
According to Vinnie Portell of FanSided:
Packers fans know by now that quarterbacks coach Tom Clements is a big reason why Aaron Rodgers and Jordan Love have found so much success.
And it says a lot about the current state of the Packers as to why Clements had little hesitation in committing to another season despite being 70 years old.
“”I’m at the point where it’s year to year,” Clements told reporters this offseason. “The way we ended (the season), it really wasn’t that tough of a process to decide to come back.”
This is huge news for Green Bay fans because Love isn’t yet a completely polished NFL starter, but he could be soon.
The Packers Offense Could Be Scary Good In 2024
There is a lot of confidence among the Packers heading into the 2024 season. Jon Runyan, David Bakhtiari, and Aaron Jones are the only three offensive starters from opening day last season who are not back.
Rasheed Walker took Bakhtiari’s place in 17 games (including playoffs) following his injury in Week 1. Jones has been replaced by former All-Pro Josh Jacobs. All of their top pass catchers have returned. However they all now have one year of experience catching Love’s passes under LaFleur’s offense.
A couple of offensive concerns can be filled by rookies Jordan Morgan and MarShawn Lloyd.
“Oh, it’s night and day. Night and day because last year, going into the draft, we had maybe three receivers on the roster. We had two tight ends,” offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich said on Monday.
“It was just one of those things where you didn’t really know what direction you could go yet because you didn’t really know who was going to be on your team and what skill-set they had. Even going into camp and going into the season, it was the same deal like, how much can you put on these guys’ plates and allow them to go out and execute?
So, now everyone has a year under their belt, so to speak. It’s been great to just know what these guys are good at, what they need to improve on and just allow them to just go ahead and be the best players that they can be.”
