[QUOTE="adambr2, post: 874928, member: 7277"] I would agree with that even less, honestly. He had a very good 2008 in his first year starting with over 4,000 yards and 28 TDs. He had 3 full seasons sitting behind Favre. That's almost unprecedented for a 1st round potential franchise QB to get that much developmental time before becoming the starter. And you think he should have had a 4th year of sitting? He was plenty ready to start by his 4th season, as he showed in '08. There was nothing wrong with their developmental plan for Aaron Rodgers, and to stick Rodgers on the bench yet again after Favre's retirement would have almost surely invited trade requests by that point. Another point is that by 2009 you're running out of time to figure out whether this guy can be your franchise QB as you've learned absolutely nothing about that potential by having him sit for 4 years and now his rookie deal is coming to an end. Under the current CBA you'd literally have to commit to a 5th year option choice before your franchise QB has even had a chance to start. There's absolutely no logic to your assertion that the Packers went to Rodgers too early in 2008. [/QUOTE]
