[QUOTE="DevilDon, post: 494048, member: 2057"] There's no discussion. You don't even contemplate trading the possible best player at the most critical position in the game for one trophy. Possibly the best player ever at the most critical position. The Packers would be the laughingstock of the NFL for the next 20 years. Rodgers gives you a chance at multiple trophies. There is not a single QB available in this year's draft that you can consider able to get you to the SB this year right? So you have a year or two to get him up to speed, while still building the TEAM around him. In the meantime all those young draftees become FAs and you lose them. It's cyclic, teams change from year to year and the cap and free agency enforces that you don't build a dynasty. Playoffs every year is just fine with me. I hope you see the futility in this. I want to offer you this quote from Gil Brandt: “I always saw free agency as the price teams pay for not drafting well." FA doesn't win championships, building a young team through the draft does. Those are inexpensive players with youth, speed and determination on their side. FAs are guys who've already made their mark to some degree and are looking to get a big paycheck or they are players their previous teams didn't see as impact players. What makes you think that is the way to build a team? [/QUOTE]
