[QUOTE="johnny_blood, post: 231012, member: 913"] Rodgers has made millions of dollars while not being exposed to any of the wear and tear. This is going to extend his career. On top of that he still has as much, if not more, cachet than he had when he was drafted. Compare that to Alex Smith of the same year. He has been completely shielded from the fate of people like Akili Smith, David Carr, Ryan Leaf, etc. He will be getting a big contract extension from someone, hopefully us. Alex Smith could get less than Rodgers in his second contract. Grossman made it to the Super Bowl and got a tiny one year extension. Of course Aaron wants to play but the way his career has turned out has completely insulated him from downside financial risk and kept him in a perpetual state of "top QB prospect." Most highly touted QBs do not pan out in the NFL. The way things have gone for Rodgers have shielded him from being exposed or injured. I personally believe he will be a good QB but we do not KNOW that. Rodgers has lost nothing. He has two years on his contract plus a franchise option in the third year. The character and maturity and teamwork he has shown the last three years gives me faith that he can get through a possible Favre return. If not, I'm not sure he's our QB of the future. Not to mention that nearly every NFL franchise but us "****ed him around" in the draft. If he's going to hold grudges that's going to rule out a lot of teams. I don't think Rodgers has proven anything in the NFL and he isn't going to refuse to resign just because he feels entitled to start this year. [/QUOTE]
