Ultimate Building Blocks: NFC North
Posted by ESPN.com's Kevin Seifert
So you want to be an NFL general manager -- or at least play one on the Internet? Then join me for this ESPN Blog Network exclusive.
The assignment is to draft 10 NFC North players who would make up the nucleus of a Super Bowl contender for the next three years. I'll open up the discussion with my choices. Your job is to bash me -- er, make your own suggestions -- in the comments section below.
On with it:
1. Aaron Rodgers, QB, Green Bay. Every championship team needs a quarterback, and for me Rodgers is the most comfortable choice. His maturity and leadership are worth the sacrifice in arm strength relative to Chicago's Jay Cutler."There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great. But quite frankly, most of the people that are commenting on it don't know anything about what they are talking about."--Ted ThompsonComment

As teams start to wrap up minicamps and OTAs, let's look at 10 young offensive players who could hit it big in 2009...
3. Aaron Rodgers, QB, Green Bay Packers: Because of the controversy surrounding Brett Favre's departure and the disappointment of a 6-10 season, Rodgers' 4,038-yard season is often overlooked. He struggled in the latter stages of games, and that should improve because of experience. Rodgers has one of the strongest arms in football. He threw 28 touchdown passes in 2008 and proved his toughness by playing the second half of the season despite a shoulder separation. Rodgers should be one of the NFC's top quarterbacks this year."There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great. But quite frankly, most of the people that are commenting on it don't know anything about what they are talking about."--Ted ThompsonComment

Harvey, the first article you posted lists Rodgers' leadership as making up for his lack of arm strength. The second one credits Rodgers as having one of the strongest arms in football.
Who's right?Chuck Norris doesn't cut his grass, he just stares at it and dares it to growComment

Rodgers has good arm strength. However, in the first one the writer was comparing his arm strength to Jay Cutler. He like doesn't have Cutler's arm strength--although I don't think they are as far apart as some think. Just remember all of those quotes from Jennings and Jones about how hard Rodgers throws.Originally posted by Gunakor"There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great.

Cutler's arm strength might be otherworldly. Think Elway, Cunningham, George. Favre had a tremendous fastball, but a step below the cannon these guys have/had.Originally posted by Gunakor
Rodgers is closer to Favre than the others. He doesn't throw the overhand heat across the middle that Favre did, but not many QBs use that motion. Remember that some receivers last year were saying Rodgers was throwing harder than Favre did in camp in 2007? Some of that could be age and touch issues, but coming out of college, Rodgers was supposed to have the arm to make all the pro throws.Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.Comment

The only reason I ask is because in the game at Detroit last year I saw Rodgers throw a ball 60 yards from one hash to the other (probably 65 yards total), and you couldn't have ran the ball up to Jennings and handed it to him any cleaner than it fell to him. I didn't think they were very far apart either.Originally posted by HarveyWallbangersChuck Norris doesn't cut his grass, he just stares at it and dares it to growComment

There are two throws from last year that really show ARod's arm strength. The pass to Jennings at 0:47 shows his ability to throw the deep ball. He threw it from his own 29 to the Vikings 5. That's 66 yards, a little more when you consider he threw it from outside the right hash to the left hash.
Another play that stands out to me is this pass to Jones. The angle from behind Rodgers shows just what a good throw it is.
We know he can throw hard down the middle, but those two throws show he can throw deep ball and he can throw in the windows deep down the sideline. I don't think there's a throw he can't make because of arm strength."There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great.

And he has the accuracy. That is crucial. Vince Young can throw it a mile, but where it goes he seems not to know."The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."

That second throw was Packer 43 yard line to Jags 14. 43 yards in the air with a LOT of air in the throw. Looked like Jones was ready to cut the route of but then saw the trajectory and kept going. Great catch on the bobble and a great effort to get his left foot down again after the bobble.Originally posted by HarveyWallbangersThere are two throws from last year that really show ARod's arm strength.
