[QUOTE="CaliforniaCheez, post: 14142, member: 167"] How many QB's were available this year? Jeff Garcia, Matt Shaub, David Carr, Trent Green, Brady Quinn There was/is no urgency as teams throw away good QB's often. Teams do not waste first round picks on QB's because they do not play right away(unless a loser team is desperate(Manning, Vick). They invest time in QB's like Hasselback, Bulger, and Schaub. I have nothing against Rodgers except perhaps his salary and inability during two minute drills. What I am saying is that spending the draft choice on another player would have been far better for the Packers. [b][u]Several are forgetting the flip side of the argument.[/u] Had that pick been spent on a player like an OG, S or RB, the 2005 Packers record would not have been as bad. Several games were close that year.[/b] Plus that pick drove away Craig Nall and a replacement for him was drafted the following year. This is not hindsight I have been saying these things since the day he was drafted. Nobody has addressed what Rodgers must do to be worth the draft pick, the salary, and the years of nonproduction. Would 2 years starting equal 3 years of nonproduction? Would one Pro Bowl year?? What if Brett plays until Rodgers contract is over at the end of the 2009 season?? The window of opportunity of making the draft pick worth it is shrinking. [/QUOTE]
