Or the next guy after that, for that matter. Going from Favre to Rodgers is the exception, not the rule. Making a plotted, thought out long-term transition from your HOF QB should be the rule, but sadly it's the exception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leader Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 It's interesting how fans of other teams are more concerned with the "sensitivities" of AR than GB fans are. Perhaps because we view the context of the Love draft pick differently. As is, AR is a top paid QB who suddenly regained dedication to his craft and should he continue to perform at his normal high level (MVPs are not necessary....) the team will probably stick with him. Why would they switch horses when we've been to two straight NFCCGs and have been able to hold the roster together with (so far.....) minimal gutting. My sense is that this is all happening now because last year Love got zero opportunity to show his stuff on an NFL field - which wont be the case this year. Hence, we've got suddenly disgruntled AR - perhaps that - or perhaps he's got a wife (and kid?) on the way and temporarily settling down in Green Bay is less appealing.

I'm not even saying that the concept of using a 1st rounder on a project QB that won't start for 2 years or whatever is a bad decision, I just don't know how you can suggest that doing so doesn't potentially hurt your success in the short term. Would you be saying the same thing if you guys just let the clock run out and didn't pick anyone? Because it kinda seems like you're suggesting that one first round pick ultimately has no effect on the success of a season.........which is true if you botch the pick, but not if you hit.

I believe he can play at a high level for at least another 3 years. Also, QBs are playing a lot longer than when Favre was on his way out. Only Brees and Brady. They are the outliers of NFL history...and both were really healthy relative to Rodgers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a net neutral. Your team stays the same. There's some opportunity cost to it for the immediate impact, but you have to assume the rookie will make an immediate impact. Our first rounder this year in Stokes is probably CB4 for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
