DH, a franchise q/b in my mind is one that you can build your team around..

I also think that is how Porky views it and many other people too

I understand that i judge mine done by performance of 3-4 years, i geuss i have seen to many one year wonders get the big bucks and then flop after. So hope you can see from my side. It will be interesting to see how Rodgers and Cassell do after getting huge money for 1 season. I will give Cassell a little time he has nothing in KC where i actually expect alot from Rodgers with all his weapons he has.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

Shouldn't allow money to make a judgment on if a q/b is a franchise or not

Should be if the team feels that they have the q/b for YEARS, which is what the Packers and others feel Rodgers is.

Just as KC feels Cassel is

Im still stuck on Porky's comment. How can you call a qb a franchise qb when they started for 1 year? Wouldn't that make Cassell a franchise qb, or Flacco, hell even JP Losman would be a franchise qb. He may become a franchise qb but i won't call him that after one year thats just plain ridiculous.

Also you guys rate the drafts from the starters we get, well hell when you don't have any decent players for those spots, doesn't that mean someone has to start?

None of those quarterbacks put up the numbers Rodgers did or played as well. Maybe Matt Cassel. It's hard to debunk a quarterback when he throws for 28 touchdowns and 4.000 yards.

I consider Matt Ryan Atlanta's franchise quarterback so it would be inconsistent not to consider Aaron Rodgers Green Bay's franchise quarterback.

Rodgers by all accounts is this team's franchises quarterback. Perhaps in three seasons the draft will be an F because Rodgers will be out of the league. Unlikely, but you never know.

At this point in time though Rodgers is one of the better young quarterbacks in the league. He still has work to do, but I think he's probably here for several more seasons to come.

Well guys look at these stats

4301 yds 24 tds 8 ints -mb

4014 yds 17 tds 10 ints -tg

4038 yds 28 tds 13 ints - a r

4717 yds 39 tds 11 ints - dc

3324 yds 19tds 7 ints -dm

now would all those numbers make these qbs franchise qbs?

I don't see what you are getting at D.

You don't only take into account numbers when talking about a franchise player(QB in this case). Aaron proved he could step in and be the leader. He proved his ability to run the offense.

Matt Ryan stepped in and did the same. Matt Cassel rose to fill some pretty big shoes out in NE. Sure he had all the pieces BUT he too had something to do with it. He had the moxie, HE made the passes, and HE led the offense.

Franchise Player is an athlete who is not simply the best player on their team, but a player that the team can build their franchise around for the foreseeable future.

Except for the last one, yes, just looking at the stats sololy. They don't awalys say everything.

Also, Cassel had an amazing team combined with the fact that he's not a franchise QB just yet. I mean, he's playing on a completely different team that can't be compared to the team he is on now. If he succeeds this year, then yes, I will consider him a franchise QB.

I still think he's overrated and will fail in KC though, but we'll see.

And lets keep this thread 'railed' again aswell.

Here are the qbs i listed and lets see if you still think they are franchise qbs Rock.

4301 yds 24 tds 8 ints -Marc Bulger

4014 yds 17 tds 10 ints -Trent Green

4038 yds 28 tds 13 ints - Aaron Rodgers

4717 yds 39 tds 11 ints - Dante Culpepper

3324 yds 19tds 7 ints -Donovan Mcnabb

Kind of funny that the only real franchise qb on there is the last one.

and Tengo what i'm getting at is give the guys a few years before you throw the franchise player tag to them. Not after 1 year.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't all of those guys with those teams/cities for quite some time? All having some form of success? Well...not so much Green. But you get me...right?

yes they were with there teams for a few years but they havent won anything. 2 of them were traded away from their teams and Bulger has had maybe 2 good years. Thus i say give them time before you call them a franchise qb. This isn't meant to be a cut on Rodgers i'm actually trying to say give the kid a few years before you add more pressure to him. After all remember Ryan Leaf was the Chargers franchise qb and he cracked under the pressure. Just let the kid play before claiming his greatness.

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

Martha Careful (9-May) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.

beast (9-May) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.

beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Context. Sounds like Myers won't be cross-trained. C or bust.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : @BookOfEli_NFL Packers pass game coordinator, Jason Vrable said that Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks shared a placed in Florida while train

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...

beast (8-May) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less

beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers actually had Ray Lewis on the phone.

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Walter Stanely's son

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : and released CB Anthony Johnson and DL Deandre Johnson and waived/injured WR Thyrick Pitts (thigh-rick).

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.

Mucky Tundra (4-May) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on how he tore his pec: “Got in a fight with the bench press. I lost.”

Zero2Cool (3-May) : Jordan Love CAN sign an extension as of today. Might tak weeks/months though

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as out for tonight's game.

dfosterf (2-May) : Surprisingly low initially is my guess cap wise, but gonna pay the piper after that

dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)

Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!

earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage

beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position

dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.

dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.

Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.

dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left

dhazer (29-Apr) : out of curiosity do they try and sign Simmons or Hyde to let these young safeties learn from, they can't be day 1 starters.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : I miss having Sam Shields.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Not that he's making excuses, just pointing it out

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : That's for dang sure. Make our erratic kicker have no excuse!

packerfanoutwest (28-Apr) : having a great long snapper is gold

Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : LaFleur looking like he had some weight. Coachin will do that lol
