While we're on the subject:

How many teams that successfully tanked for a high draft pick won the Super Bowl in the last 2 decades?

Because that's the goal. We shouldn't tank because it's a proven unsuccessful team building strategy. If we suck, we suck. But you don't teach your guys not to go all out on the field. It's not successful, period. You really think Ron Rivera's character would allow him to just give up on the season? That's the literal opposite of the culture he's trying to build. Honestly, this tanking talk is ridiculous.

Grab a veteran in the offseason, let him hold down the fort while we build up the roster everywhere else. Then get the qb you want. Don't be forced to take a qb because that's when wasted draft picks happen. Fresh example: Dwayne Haskins. He was a perfect circumstance of "this team really needs a qb" and Dan Snyder falling in love with his highlights.

You say grab a veteran QB in the offseason, what is wrong with using Alex Smith for 1 or 2 more seasons? He would be 38 years old during the 2022 season, unless perhaps Alex Smith might not re-sign here, and he goes elsewhere? Or do you just mean a cheaper veteran option that Smith would likely be?

Because even when the rain isn't making it tough to play and he's shaken the rust off from 2 years of leg rehab, I'm not convinced that a 37-38yo qb can still be good enough to lead a team. Sure, if he returns to the form he was in his Chiefs days I'd be happy to bring him back. But we're a long way from there.

Aaron Rodgers may be available next year.

I doubt the Packers would move on from him next year. He is still playing as good as anyone in the league and gives them a chance at the SB. I'd say 2022 is the year he becomes available.

Aaron will be the one moving on from the Packers, not the team. He's pissed they drafted Jordan Love instead of giving him weapons to help him win.

Ok for arguments sake let's just say they do. He ain't coming here. Rodgers is a real smart guy. He's going to go somewhere where there's stability and an immediate chance to win. He'd go right over to the 49ers and there is no way we could compete with them. He's from there and they are a better run operation than we are.
