Why Do YOU Think Aaron Rodgers Will Fail/Struggle?

[ZB9]

im just suprised that they are putting all of their eggs into that basket. No one really knows if Rodgers can stay healthy for an entire season (dont know that about any new starting QB).

As a contending team, they should trade for a veteran backup imo (and they should have drafted only ONE rookie QB, not two imo).

Yet fail to answer the question. I keep hearing Tedford this Tedford that, I'd like someone to explain to me what in his system makes QB's ill-ready for the NFL

There were exactly twelve quarterbacks taken for a measly average of one per round. Remember, that was back when there were twelve rounds in the draft. It's pretty safe to say that save for ONE player (guess who) this was easily the worst quarterback class in modern history. Hell, I've never even HEARD OF half of those guys.

I have heard of most of those guys. Most were career backups. Terrible draft. Good ole Pat O'Hara, he played for the Chargers, I think he was even a backup when he went to the Arena League.

ZB, your timing is impeccable. Funny you should ask.

This was a question that was handled by a sports reporter in this week MJ.

He answered that it's way too early to trade for a veteran back up.

A. The two rookies should get as many snaps as possible. Let Thompson/McCarthy make that decision if they feel the two rooks won't cut it as serviceable back ups.

B. Why trade for a vet now when several will be cut in the next 2-3 weeks?

Hope that clears things up for you.

Please GOD do not let them consider Culpepper again.

I have a feeling that Todd Collins might be available soon.
