at what point do we look for A-rods replacement?

[red]

one of the best things, if not the best thing, TT ever did was to have the balls to draft rodgers, even though favre still had plenty left in the tank

favre was 35, the same age that rodgers is now

one big difference was that favre had been talking about retirement for a few seasons already when we drafted a-rod. so far aaron has not retired then un-retired once yet

now i'm not saying we need to draft a guy to replace him ASAP, but getting to sit and learn for a couple years sure is nice, and the way i would prefer things to go

so when do we realistically start scouting QB's and looking for the next star?

and no, i'm not talking about taking some 4th or 5th round flyer on a guy. i'm talking about a 1st or 2nd round pick

i'm thinking not this coming draft, but probably the 2021 draft is when our window should start to open, and we start to think about drafting a guy high

ASAP. If the guy you like is near to your draft spot next April/ May, go get ‘em. Don’t break the draft bank though.

i'm watching LSU and joe burrow. thats what got me thinking about all this

that guys good

so rand, you would be fine with another favre situation where we might have to release a HOF QB before his time is done in order to get the new guy on the field?

it sucks to think about, if we want to be good for the next decade, its something that will probably need to happen at some point

[mraynrand]

Yeah I don’t care about. Favre situation. In fact, that’s the optimum because it means you have a guy coming in who you think is just as good. If you’re wrong maybe you suffer for a couple years but if you’re right you get another decade or so of great football.

Damn Red, you sober up for a day?

Now is the answer. I think Rodgers would have fizzled out had he gotten thrown to the wolves right away like so many other talented QBs.

He may not talk retirement but his body speaks plenty. He damn sure isn’t going to get more durable with age.

TT gets way too much credit for drafting him. When the slide started playing out that draft TT HAD to take him. I was calling it from the couch. It paid off and he gets some credit but hardly a genius move.

Will this become Rodgers “living legend” thread? It’s definitely time to start one.

The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago.

IMO, they should have started last draft or even the draft before.

If by forget you also mean "can't".

I thought that was the positive spin.

When you project him to have 2 really good years left before a major drop off. Gives the next guy 2 years to learn and a 3rd to fight for a job.

Based on my experience, if you visit Wisconsin then yes.
