People think im insane for saying this but... Rodgers would not have made it in the NFL without the complete makeover the Packers gave him.
I also keep trying to say this but people think im also nuts for saying this... Developing QB's in the NFL matters. Not only personal development but also having a good team around them where they dont have to carry a team.
I just wish at some point that we had a coach who would actually do that. I personally differ with you that RG3 cant be a good QB again. Having said that, he may be ruined forever. That still doesnt change that we arent getting one of the greats and need a coach who does more than just say if you cant run my offense, then you arent my guy (Gruden) or one that didnt even try to develop a QB because the choice was pushed onto him (Shanahan).

I never said Rodgers was a "cant miss" since day one. Obviously he dropped in the draft for a reason.
I think what I said last time we discussed this had to do with Rodgers first year "starting". What I said was the fanbase quickly forgot about Favre once Rodgers took over. Not overnight, but it did not take very long to ses the guy could play once he was the starter and his insane numbers back that up.
