What the 1st round draft says about the Aaron Rodgers contract· Page 5

Kizer will not be "the guy" for the Packers. The Packers will be lucky if he even amounts to decent backup QB. I don't think Mike McCarthy is nearly as good at developing QBs as he seems to think.

I don’t think Kizer was brought in as Rodgers’ replacement. I think it’s for Hundley’s replacement.
They need a decent backup that can come in if your starter is out short term.
I think Kizer can do that. The pressure of playing on a really bad team was what brought him down.
Having time to learn, and not being expected to step in and be the “saviour” like he was in Cleveland, will do him good.

The Rams just did a study on this too. Something about how it's taking longer for players to develop with new CBA.

But anyhow he has done well with QBs in the past too when he focused on them as QB coach.

He's the Head Coach (as ya know) now so he's got a lot more duties. Kinda unrealistic to give him too much credit or blame I think.

Rounds 1 and 2 in the books and it is all D. Based on my thinking in the initial post, Gutekunst is not concerned about the Aaron Rodgers contract at this time.

I like the draft decisions so far. Gutekunst and the guy in the Progressive Insurance commercial think alike: "Defense wins championships".

The Packer's secondary has the potential to be the best in the League in a couple years. Lots of questions though: What will HHCD be doing in two years? Will King stay healthy and progress? Can the new D coaching staff convert great talent and athleticism into reliable NFL starters?

Well, they traded one DB to the Browns, and have picked up 2 so far.
If that doesn’t tell Dix that he better pull his weight or be gone, I don’t know what does.
