[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 962959, member: 7261"] Yes and it has a lot to do with how different circumstances can create different results. Was Davante Adams destined to be the #1 WR in the NFL before he was drafted by the Packers? Had the Jaguars drafted him, where would he be today in his career? Was Henry Ruggs destined to be in jail today or had the Packers drafted him, maybe he is a top 10 WR, preparing for the 2022 season? Had TT not drafted Rodgers, where would the Packer organization be today? Maybe better, maybe worse, we just don't know for sure. These are the main reasons I don't like this "had they just done this or that" as being evaluation criteria. Because had they done "this or that", nothing else remains constant, including the this and that and everything around it. I know damn well that so far Chase Claypool was a pretty good second round pick for the Steelers, but where would he be today had the Packers selected him? There is nothing wrong with saying "IMO had the Packers not drafted AR, the Packers probably wouldn't have been as good." But to evaluate Ted Thompson in 2010, his team is struggling because Favre retired and they never drafted Rodgers, with an evaluation of "Thompson's big mistake was drafting Jason Campbell instead of Aaron Rodgers, is just guessing.
