Message: <blockquote data-quote="Greg C." data-source="post: 231213" data-attributes="member: 195">How many teams have franchised their starting QB? I can't think of any. That's because the top five QB salaries at any given time are very high, so if you're going to give a player that kind of money, you might as well give him a vote of confidence by negotiating a longer-term contract. The QB position is different from any other position. It's better to have a more solid bond between the QB and the team if the QB is good. It helps with stability all around. I think the Packers need to know what Rodgers can do after his first season as starter. I don't think they will want him to go into the final season of his contract with his status up in the air. If that happens, and he plays well in that final year, they will find themselves in a bidding war, which is not where Ted Thompson wants to be.</blockquote>
