[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 557143"] A point of no return was established with Mr. Favre. Management siezed that opportunity. Just because it wasn't in March or May doesn't mean it didn't exit. Having Rodgers in their hip pocket obviated the [I][B]need[/B][/I] to bow, scape and beg. And yes, that Favre would one day push the matter too far was fairly predictable. I don't know why the concept that a need can be important without being acute or immediate escapes you. They occur all the time, everywhere. And when talking about replacing a franchise QB, that would certainly be the case for the reasons amply stated previously. There is rarely a circumstance necessitating a binary position of "need" or "no need"; in fact it is counterproductive. I think there was something in your comments about my not responding to your query as to why we did not trade up for Rodgers if he was a need pick. Well, Sherrod was a need pick. Perry was a need pick. D. Jones was a need pick. Clinton-Dix was a need pick. There was wide consensus in each case that these players' respective positions were priorities for upgrades. We did not trade up for any of them. If not trading up is some kind of indication that need was not a consideration, then Thompson hasn't been in need of much of anything for some years now, and that proposition is absurd. "Imagine my disappointment'...there was a tinge of sarcasm in that statement, though I was in fact disappointed to hear Brandt put it the way he did. Consider it part of the dialectic. [/QUOTE]
