David, grow up. The quarterback of whom you are speaking by implication has lost 3 of the past 4 games and tossed 6 INTs against 1 TD. What makes you think he would have given this team a better chance to win than Rodgers? That same quarterback admitted in a presser after the season was over that the Packers might go 13-3 again in 2008 -- or they might just as easily go 3-13. Like all the rest of us, he looked at the schedule for this year and knew it wouldn't be as easy.
I do not believe the Packers would have finished this season with a winning record with him at the helm, and even if they had, I doubt they would have gone to the playoffs. We've had a bad year. It happens to every team. The Packers WILL be better next year. And as disappointing as this season has been, the benefit is that Rodgers has been baptized in fire and will come out of this season tougher and ready to lead this team through adversity. That wouldn't have happened had he been forced to ride the pine for another season.

Non all im saying is im so damn tired of hearing we might have lost Rodgers, He was under contract thru 2009 so it wasnt like he was going anywhere thats all i mean about it.
Plus to you people that say i bash this team or whatever i am just being realistic about things, I get bashed because i say we don't have the best 5 wrs in the league, i gave names that show we arent but yet i'm a basher for it. Like i said i'm a die hard Packer fan but i don't run around with blinders on. I try and make a positive post about our defense and i get told im wrong so i guess i will never agree with such shallow minded posters that keep trying to bash me.

Quarterback #1 retires.
Quarterback #2 has been in the league for 3 years which is more than enough time behind a quarterback to learn the league.
You tell Quarterback #2 he's got the job for good, and you tell the media he's got the job for good.
You go into camp with Quarterback #2 ready to start and get in sync with the offense.
Quarterback #1 decides he wants to come back and play again.
Front office tells Quarterback #2 that he won't start anymore because Quarterback #1 decided he has an itch to play again.
Quarterback #2 is left with a bad taste in his mouth and only has one more year left on his contract and will likely use it to showcase his talents to the other 31 teams along with the Packers.
If you don't see how we could have lost Rodgers from this whole ordeal then you're nuts.
