[QUOTE="Sunshinepacker, post: 880490, member: 9033"] I do agree that a near-term SB would require an insane amount of luck (both good luck for the Packers and bad lucks for 5-6 other teams) I don't think the mistake was extending Rodgers, it was sticking with a failing front office and a coach that didn't seem motivated to improve. The Packers' offense currently has exactly one proven receiver, zero proven TEs (Lewis was a decent receiver years ago but that's not really the case anymore); much of the decline in the passing game can be attributed to that. I mean, let's remember that the Packers featured a group of receivers lead by Allen Lazard and Geronimo Allison for a quarter of the season while Adams was out in 2019; the leading receiver on the team over those weeks was the RB! Finally, you say his extension was a mistake but you need to follow that thought by answering the question, "who would be the Packers QB this year if the Packers had not extended him?" There's no way Brady was coming to Green Bay, so are you saying the Packers should have signed Newton, Rivers, or Bridgewater while Love was being developed? You can't just say "signing this player was a mistake" without looking into how NOT signing that player affects the team's choices going forward. The one option that might work from a fan's perspective is franchising him but I really think people that advocate that route ignore the message that that sends to the locker room. Players like to believe that teams reward performance and, as most humans, would prefer not to work for a team that they view as cold and heartless (the one exception is when the team has the best coach in NFL history). Rodgers is no longer the QB he was when he was younger but Ted did very little to help build the offense, focusing instead on drafting underwhelming defensive players, and keeping a coach who didn't appear to be willing to modernize his coaching (he finally started to do so his last year in GB but he'd wasted 3-4 seasons before that).
