[QUOTE="sschind, post: 905391, member: 10247"] While some fans adhere to the "better a year early than a year late" philosophy for most players, when it come to the elite that goes out the window. Players like Rodgers always garner the "they have earned the right to be a Packer for as long as they want to be one" argument from some fans and no matter what, if the team decides to move on it is being disrespectful to the player. It is as if they have played at a superstar level for so long with a mere pittance in the way of compensation that the team owes it to them to keep them around until the player decides to leave. IMO no player is above the team and I will always put the teams best interest ahead of any "loyalty" to any player. I would be happy if Rodgers remained a Packer until he is 45 as long as he plays at a high level but if his performance drops I'm not going to feel that we owe it to him to keep him around just because of what he did for us in the past. If management decides that Love is ready to take the helm and they move on from Rodgers I will be OK with that as long as that decision is based on the performance of the two players. Either Rodgers play drops off significantly or Loves development jumps by leaps and bounds or a combination of the two. The last thing I want is for them to move on from a high performing Rodgers just because they drafted Love and feel like he needs to get his chance or people will consider it a wasted pick. The second to the last thing I want is for them to hang on to a declining Rodgers because they feel they owe it to him. [/QUOTE]
