[QUOTE="sjb12681, post: 912600, member: 8865"] Not to rehash the Favre drama, but let's imagine that we had done what some thought we should have then... Kept Favre and let Aaron walk... The natural thought being that given GB penchant for draft and develop, we would have sought out a qb on the high end of the draft sometime after, between 2009-2012... Here is a list of the QBs drafted in the 1st during that timeframe: 2012: 1. Andrew Luck, Stanford, Colts 2. Robert Griffin III, Baylor, Redskins 8. Ryan Tannehill, Texas A&M, Dolphins 22. Brandon Weeden, Oklahoma State, Browns ___ 2011: 1. Cam Newton, Auburn, Panthers 8. Jake Locker, Washington, Titans 10. Blaine Gabbert, Missouri, Jaguars 12. Christian Ponder, Florida State, Vikings ___ 2010: 1. Sam Bradford, Oklahoma, Rams 25. Tim Tebow, Florida, Broncos ___ 2009: 1. Matthew Stafford, Georgia, Lions 5. Mark Sanchez, USC, Jets 17. Josh Freeman, Kansas State, Buccaneers Now, assuming we kept drafting not top 5 overall... We would have given up on a known (albeit limited) commodity in Rodgers to get one of these gentlemen. Yuck. Again this is assuming we weren't trading for a qb, but that's not really how GB rolls, so chances are we would have one of these guys at the helm vs Aaron. The point being that I believe we made the right call then not giving into Favre, and believe we are doing the right thing now not giving into Aaron. Eventually these guys will leave, retire or stop playing well and you have to move on. If you have faith that your "guy" is the next guy, then you have to trust your system, and stick to your gameplan on staying competitive. [/QUOTE]
