Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 615140">I think you're starting to lose it.I used Peppers as an example because he's 35, as was Favre at the time of the Rodgers draft, while being an essential player as Favre was at the time of the Rodgers draft.  Nobody else on the roster would serve as a hypothetical comparison to make the point about succession planning.If any player (choose any player on any other team of your choosing) of similar age and professional stature as Peppers with a bench behind him that the Packers currently have, and that player was mumbling about retirement in February and then didn't show up to OTAs, failing to address that vulnerability in the draft process would be a very high risk "whoops".  And that "whoops" is doubly or triply acute when talking about the QB position.That you somehow took my hypothetical as a casting of aspersions on Peppers totally misses the point.  It should have obvious this was about Favre and the Rodgers draft, not about Peppers.The forest overlooked for a tree, once again.Debate club gamesmanship does not sit well with me.  Or to use some recent language from a notable jurist, however disingenuous he might be, your complaints on this score are "applesauce" and "jiggery-pokery".</blockquote>
