Exactly.

Funny thing is that most of us saw the potential in Rodgers when he had to replace Brent during THAT Dallas game.

I would HATE if they traded him unless they got something unbelievable

Yup.

We can't make the same mistake the Falcons made.

They have probably still been kicking themselves since '97.
