AARON RODGERS- LEGIT FIRST TALENT ?????????

4 years later...

Interesting to see how wrong even Bill Walsh apparetly was about Rodgers.

Perhaps McCarthy doesn't yet get the credit he deserves for developing Rodgers into what he's become...

Here is to hoping that Bill Polian is just as wrong about Bulaga.

I also recall the rumor mill at that time saying TT would take Vince Young if he were available at 5, but i kinda doubt it the way TT avoids head cases.

Given the state of the Colts OL, I'm not sure that Mr. Polian is your #1 source for brilliant OL prospect evaluations. Outside of Jeff Saturday (who's getting up there in years) there's not a guy on their line you wouldn't be looking to upgrade (the other four starting OL are Charlie Johnson, Jamey Richard, Kyle DeVan, and Ryan Diem).

I hear ya, and I don't weigh too much on what others say...I kinda value TT's opinion on a guy more than anyone.

Wow. A lot of flops were rated higher than our Pro-Bowler Aaron Rodgers!

I wonder how any of them would have flourished under the tutelage of Mike McCarthy?

Sure would be interesting to guess who our QB would be today if Ted had not made that pick.

This sounds like a fun exercise.

Pulled up a mock draft from that year that had GB taking DL Shaun Cody, who ended up being taken by the Lions with the 5th pick of the 2nd round. We'll give GB Cody with their first round pick instead of Rodgers.

With the 26th pick in the 2nd round, GB took WR Terrence Murphy. Instead, let's say they took "Next Best Quarterback Available", which according to the draft results would be Charlie Frye, taken by the Browns in the 3rd pick of the 3rd round.

Ladies and gentleman, your starting QB for the 2010 "What If" Green Bay Packers - Charlie Frye.

I like it!!!!

I am trying to remember who our QBs were back then. My question is would we have then drafted a QB instead of Hawk the year we picked 5th?

Here's a better question. If we did take a QB with that #5 spot, and it was Leinart, how much better would he be after having rode the pine and learned under M3?
