So what happens when they get the pieces in place sometime by 2024-27 and they don't have a QB? The answer is they still wont win because they don't have the most important position on the field. The idea of getting the pieces in place and then filling in with a good/great QB is ridiculous. You gotta grab a great QB when you can get him.
My argument isn't for going all in on only AR. If they have a shot at one of the top free agent QBs in the off season they should go all in. I don't care how great the pieces are a team isn't winning with a Heinicke or someone like him at QB.
OK now on that point, I completely and fully agree. I want them to push the chips in for a quarterback, big time. I just don't see why we'd want that to be Rodgers.
Wilson makes the most sense to me. Watson I'm interested in too assuming you can do the due diligence it takes to get comfortable with the legal entanglements. I'd rather get a guy I know we could keep here for five years.
All of this of course is governed less by our preferences and more by external factors. I'm sitting here saying oh I'd rather have Wilson over Watson and Watson over Rodgers, but in reality none of them might actually be available or desirable.
Wilson might move on but only to a list of three teams that doesn't include Washington. Rodgers might decide I'm going elsewhere but only to Denver. Watson's legal trouble might be real.
But in a world where I'm needing to trade lots of assets for a QB I'm really hoping it ends up to be somebody younger than 39 at the end of next season.

I agree, i rather a Watson or younger guy out of the draft. AR gets us in the playoffs maybe a nfc champ trip but it be in a short window of time and in 2 years we are back right where we are now.
We need the next mahomies herbert allen etc...but so does everyone else.
So after 30 years of being a laughing stock you'd say getting AR wasn't worth it for two or three years of playoffs and maybe NFC Championship? Wow. I guess beggars really can be choosers.

Younger is better but IMO AR is the best of your options and gives this team the best chance to win now. Its a win now league.

Look at TB if tom hangs it up; they got a Super Bowl so that is big but now they got a lot cleaning up to do.
do you want 2/3 years of fun and a decade of clean up
Or a allen herbert etc...situation where we are competive for a good solid decade

Yes. This organization has had 30 years of clean up so I don't think 2 or 3 years of fun and winning would be a hard sell to whatever fans are left.
While Allen and Herbert look good you cant say for certain that they have a decade of good play in them.

Brady took over a talented but older team in his 40s. Rodgers is 38, so he's closed to that.
Again, this is why I think Russ Wilson makes sense for SO many reasons, including getting more years out of him.

I want neither.
I want 2-3 years of fun (Rodgers/Wilson...), and also draft a Mahomes to be competitive for the foreseeable future once Rodgers/Wilson... is done.
If Brady hangs it up why is TB looking at 10 years of cleanup?
After what we've been through the last 30 years, I'd take one more SB win even if it meant we go right back in the tank. I just want to see one more championship in my lifetime.

I think TB even if it took 10 years to clean up would think it was well worth it. SB wins don't come around all that often even for good teams.

We wouldn't win in 2022 with Aaron Rodgers. But I've said that already.
And then we'd have a reload and a coaching change on our hands, with few first round picks on the roster.
