'lo folks, I'm new to the board. Did anybody here think picking Rodgers was a good idea? Does anyone still think so?
i think he is learnin i know some ppl say he aint that good but even as a bears fan i think with enough time he will become a good player but as of now he dont look to good but good things are to come for him im sure. and u ask was it a good idea the fact is that the packers are lookin for the furture when they drafted him so yea
He is a good QB, but i think that the packers need to invest in going to the SB before Favre retires one more time. I thought they should of gone for a player on defense
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (GoChiagobears)</div><div class='quotemain'>yea true but they didn't know if favre was comin back he almost didn't but yea they should of</div> They new Favre was coming back by the time of the Draft.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (GoChiagobears)</div><div class='quotemain'>no they didn;t</div> Not worth arguing but yea I am pretty sure they did. Favre said something before the draft. I remember Chris Berman saying he gets to learn behind Brett Favre. Yea they already new.
Yeah Brett had already declared he was coming back about a month before the draft thats when he started his Core Training.
they had too many needs on defense to pick Rodgers. They need to think about winning a SB before the favre era ends.
I don't, I have my doubts about Rodgers, but there really wren't any super Defensive players left when it was our pick, maybe Marlin Jackson and Brodney Poole, but other than them not much. I wish they traded down to get a top pick in the second plus a third and then took, Poole, Collins, and Frye.
u know what at 24 Rodgers was clearly a steal. I mean u cant pass up a guy who could have easily gone top 10. At 24 they had to take him. They need a guy for after favre and Rodgers could definatly be that guy. Give him a chance they are probably overwhelming him right now with new mechanics and hes gotta learn everything almost over again. In a couple years when Favre retires and Rodgers is still an issue then u have a problem. But right now i see no problem since hes not gonna be playing this season or next.

Chad Pennington sat for 2 or 3 years and he has turned out good. I hope Rodges sits for this year and next year and if we're beating a team badly play him the 4th quarter. He's looked impressive in practice but I'd like to see him do well in a preseason game.
I think Rodgers needs more time to learn the offense and he needs to work on his mechanics. I think the way he holds the ball is a big reason that he keeps throwing his passes so low. Darrell Bevell needs to do something to start addressing that.
yea he needs more time but i know that the pack need more D and yea they need a QB but jus cause u got 4 or the same coach for two more years isnt goin to help that D even with jim bates he needs good people to work with.

What makes you so sure that the Pack will drop to nothing this year.
Bears fans predict Packer destruction every year. I guess if they do it long enough, eventually they'll be right. Probably not this year, though.
