A sure sign that the NFL season – or at least its training camps – are not too far away is that Peter King has resumed his regular MMQB column at SI.com.
In this week’s edition, he makes two significant references to the Packers. On the one hand, he says this about the recently suspended Johnny Jolly:
I think Johnny Jolly would have been one of the 10 most important players on the Packers this year and going into the future, but his yearlong suspension following his arrest in Houston makes it likely he'll never play for Green Bay again or for any other team in football.

He says it as though it is only a shame for Jolly. But what about the Packers? Isn’t it rather ominous to suggest that we have just lost one of our “10 most important players”?
Still, it does not seem to have diminished King’s great expectations for the 2010 Packers. As noted in an earlier post, King is predicting the Packers to go all the way. And even the loss of one of our “10 most important players” has not changed that opinion:
It's early, very early, but I haven't backed off a San Diego-Green Bay Super Bowl. Two teams knocking on the door pretty consistently (Packers averaging 10 wins a year over the past three years, Chargers 11 a year over the past six season), both with terrific young quarterbacks (Aaron Rodgers 27, Philip Rivers 28), both with suspect defenses.
Kind of sounds like the Saints last year.

A good-news-bad-news report from Peter King. That’s what he thinks… What do you think?
