The whole "you cant have a good team because 1 guy gets too much money" is just the laziest argument. It might surprise some to find out that GB is actually 17th in cap spending on the QB position this season. So much for that stupid reasoning.

Some teams that had more of their cap allocated toward QB this year: Ravens, Saints, Vikings, Colts, Seahawks, Steelers, Browns, Chargers, Patriots. Also GB only spent less than 1m on QBs this year than the Eagles. Making any kind of observation off of yearly averages is just about meaningless.

GB wasn't bad this year for plenty of reasons. Not being able to afford any good players because Rodgers yearly average is 33m was not one of those reasons.

Hopefully, if the cap keeps rising it won't be as big of a deal but even if the cap increase covers Rodgers' increase its not only Rodgers numbers that will be going up. Salaries in general are rising. In 2 or three years 15 million dollar cap hits are going to be much more common and I don't think the cap will rise that much. We want to sign the best free agents but when their salaries keep going up as well it gets harder to do.

I agree, Rodgers' salary most likely had very little bearing on this year but that's not to say it won't have a bigger bearing in years to come.

I'm not surprised the position is 17th. I mean, when one guy is taking so much cash, how can you afford a backup!!! 😅

No worries, 2019 we are 8th. Moving on up!!

Edit: How does Aaron Rodgers get $66.9 million in 2018 cash dollars and we're ranked 17th (we're actually 14th) in QB position spending?

The point is mute at best and more accurately, a red herring:[list][*]The contract is in place[/list][list][*]There is plenty of cap room. According to overthecap, the is $44mm of cap space [/list][list][*]As previously stated, you don't have a chance in hell of getting a good coach here without 12 locked in[/list]

Zero2Cool (28-May) : LaFleur on Watson: “Christian is doing outstanding. I would say he’s ahead of schedule.”

Martha Careful (28-May) : Bradshaw is a dumb ass cracker. I am so tired of his "aw shucks" diatribe. He should shrivel up and go away.

buckeyepackfan (28-May) : He wad all butt hurt because Aaron duped the media saying he was immunized.
