Should have been in three more SB, but players not management let use down.

I think as long as Rodgers is able to keep playing, and not have his career ended early because of injury, we have a good chance of continuing success. First we need to change GM, which I expect to happen within the next couple years. Next I want a new head coach to be brought in when Rodgers has 4 or 5 years left. Giving them a window of finding a replacement QB either dropping to them in the draft or through a trade, and having a couple years to develop him.

With the Quality of QBs coming out of the college, I think it is easier to find a QB today than it was in the past. The hard part is matching the right QB with the Right Head Coach. I believe that Brady would not be the same if not with Belicheck, Rodgers would not be the same without McCarthy.

If your team has such a QB , like NE or Pittsburgh has, then you do all that you can as they are doing , to take advantage of your good luck and go for it while you can .
GB's management seems satisfied only to achieve a playoff level team and is not reaching for the level 1 players needed to win SBs . Blaming player performance for not winning is just wrong , blame management for not getting better players for the coaches to work with .
IMO , GB's current philosophy would would have given Vince Lombardi a Heart Attack . I fear that all GB will be able to accomplish is to keep making the playoffs , but not winning any SBs until a change in management takes place. I hope that change takes place before Rodgers retires from the sport .

If he hadn't been lost, the defenses would have been noticeably better in 2012, 2013, 2014, enough that it easily could have been the difference of getting into 1 or 2 more SB. Thinking about it, I'm not sure I can think of a team that lost a Pro-Bowl quality player like Collins in the prime of his career that went on to win a SB within the next year or two or three. I'm sure you can name the list of them off though.

This also isn't baseball or basketball. Trades for Pro-bowl level players don't happen very often. giving up draft picks and paying for what those best quality players cost seldom works outside of NE. What is usually does is screw a team over for many years in the future.
