[QUOTE="mradtke66, post: 911102, member: 4199"] Perhaps, but that next 10-25% is potentially the most difficult thing to achieve in roster building. Law of diminishing returns and all that. It's not doomed, but nor is future success assured. A great quarterback is the single most impactful person on the roster. Life after Rodgers is on a spectrum. Maybe Love is a HOF player. Maybe he's the new Dalton line. Maybe he's the first in a long quarterbacks that we churn through over the next 20 years as we do our best Browns impression. The most likely, from a pure numbers point of view, is our next quarterback is average or worse, as the league mostly has average or worse quarterbacks in it. Never said they should have You're trying to argue a few different points here and it's all over the map.
