[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 925428, member: 10086"] What some posters are confused by is that I agree with having a winning element at QB. It’s unfortunate, but life moves fast and the NFL is evolving at a higher rate. The team has to be prepared with an older QB and the drop can be quick and hard. That’s what they were facing and you can’t really blame them. 40 years is kind of a threshold for many QB’s and Aaron will be there before his current contract expires. Sooner or later he will be replaced and having a formidable QB in the shadows is critical to the success of the entire team. This argument has been made into great Rodgers vs. a QB that’s never taken a meaningful snap in the league. That’s pretty obvious when we look at it through a very narrow lens. Who wouldn’t want Rodgers??? That isn’t the way the FO office looks at it. They look at it as a 100 year QB Relay race and having the next QB fully prepared is detrimental to the success of several hundred people and their families. These are people’s livelihoods and pushing all your chips on 1 relay segment and hoping for the best if he goes down is bordering on irrational. A #24 overall selection is a cheap price to pay every 5+ years or so if the right guy comes along. This isn’t personal like Aaron is taking it. It’s just a long term winning strategy and the argument of 2 of the last HOF QB’s hinges on that said strategy. I don’t blame them one bit for drafting Jordan when I consider the big picture.
