Would you have preferred that Green Bay not select Rodgers, and go "all in" on an aging Favre (who by the way was the same again as Rodgers when they drafted Jordan Love). 48 minutes ago, sammymvpknight said: But Green Bay played the odds...Rodgers would decline within the next 3 seasons, while bringing in his replacement.

Except it’s not the same as favre, who was openly considering retirement. What rumors am I missing that Rodgers had been considering retirement for years at that point?

Other teams trying it is inevitable. good. hopefully this drives up Rodgers trade value. It's a decent plan for the right team. I can understand why it's attractive. If an owner needs an adrenaline shot of attention/revenue it makes sense. It's likely your team is going to be a bottom-feeder for awhile after it, however. So there's the risk.

Philly is in the midst of a Texans-esque rebuild. Ask anyone if they regret it, given the end result. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed. Heck, even Minnesota hasn't gotten as close to a SB since as they did with old man Favre. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask anyone if they regret it, given the end result. The difference is... we didn't expect to win it all in 2017. We struck lightning and won a SB and then tried to keep the magic going from 2018-2020. That is when the wheels fell off. That said, ya I wouldn't trade the SB for anything. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or the next guy after that, for that matter. Going from Favre to Rodgers is the exception, not the rule. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
