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

The Packers should plan as if Rodgers will not be the starter in 2022. It is easy to deal with having an extra starter-quality QB. It is hard to play without one.

Reading through this thread thinking of my response, guess I'm not surprised Patler expressed it.

Under the new CBA, I think it's more than smart to draft a QB first or second if you think the guy is a future starter. If Rodgers continues to play well, they have a sense of security and a capable backup that can win a few games if needed, and not like it's hard to recoup the draft capital down the road - see: Garappolo, Jimmy. There are a couple examples couple closer to home - the first traded Favre, or the move up in the fist and a third the Pack got for Hasselbeck. If they guess right, it will pay off one way or the other.

no need just yet. just make him run the O as designed. short and intermediate routes only. make him a game manager...after all, all he wants to do is win games now. right?

God damned negativists! Packers would have won by 30 today if they’d let Rodgers fling it around the yard! The running game just controls the clock for the other team!!!

I would wholly endorse this position if he hit more than 2 deep balls our of the 8 or so he threw.

he's proven time after time that he isn't going to do that, he'll do things his way

i'm with patler and guiness and the others. do it now. you have 4 or 5 years before the guy would actually start costing any real money. and you can always trade him if you have too

but i'm thinking the end of rodgers is approaching faster then we think

No wonder you were replaced as moderator.

I've got nothing against the running game - in moderation. Aaron Jones is beginning to look like Jonathan Taylor, and at times, Carolina made the Packers O Line look like the Badgers.

Prediction: Speaking of replacements, 15 or 20 years from now, Rodgers will be Aikman's replacement, and he'll be as much better a commentator than Aikman as he is a better QB.

esoxx is like a closer. He's not here all the time, but he does damage when present.

15-20 years? Seems like a long time. Is that going to be after Danica crashes into his bank account and it ends in a fiery, disastrous divorce?

I don't think it matters. It's not the players that are special its the station of Greenbay Packers starting quarterback that is the source of their hall of fame powers. When a successor is needed, the secret ceremony committee of the board of directors will perform the esoteric ritual needed to imbue their new champion with talent and the team will have another decade of top shelf QB play. Spend a 1st rounder if you want, at least their rookie contract will be longer but a UDFA will be just as effective.

I know it sounds silly and superstitious but I hope they spend the 2nd round pick on a WR this year.
