Right? I think anytime you hit on a top 3 guy in career AV, it has to be considered a good pick. In retrospect, Rodgers was obviously the correct choice, but I think there were about 21 other teams (including Dallas twice) that passed on Rodgers, so it's hard to fault San Fran too much.
It's weird how unless the first overall QB becomes a franchise savior Super Bowl winning quarterback, there is a narrative that he is generally seen as a disappointment, or at least not living up to the hype. This despite the fact that there has been only one quarterback drafted first overall in the past thirty years who has won a Super Bowl with the team that drafted him.
