[QUOTE="Deleted member 6794, post: 876604"] Come on, Poker, you know that I wasn't talking about a starting quarterback playing on a rookie deal just for the sake of having one. I absolutely agree that it's completely unrealistic to expect that the Packers will being able to replace Rodgers with another future HOF quarterback just like that. That's why the front office should do everything in their power to surround him with enough talent to make another run at a Super Bowl as long as the championship window is open. Gutekunst using the team's first rounder on his backup isn't a move in that direction though. There was no rookie salary scale in place at the time Rodgers was drafted. The landscape changed with the CBA in 2011 and teams are now able to benefit from having a cheap starting quarterback for four years by selecting one in the first round. It worked out pretty well for the Chiefs last season. You're the one not understanding the way the salary cap works. It is a fact that the Packers would take a $17.2 million cap hit in dead money if they move on from Rodgers for the 2022 season. Last year's 26th overall pick, Montez Sweat, has a cap hit of close to $3.2 million during his third year. That results in a minimum cap hit of $20.4 million for the quarterback position for the Packers in 2022. That is nearly five times more than Mahomes (less than $4.5 million) accounted for last season or three times more than the cap hit the Eagles took in 2017 for both Wentz and Foles. There's no way the Packers can fully take advantage of having a starting quarterback on a cheap rookie deal before the 2023 season, which would be Love's last one on his original deal. Actually a lot of teams shouldn't pay huge money to mediocre quarterbacks and try their luck with rookies instead. That would give them a better chance of winning in the long haul. Of course that doesn't apply once you have found an elite one at the position. [/QUOTE]
