call me foolish then because if he keeps taking the hits he wont make it 5 years. Plus to be honest i don't see him playing that long. Also that would be what 15 years in the league, I just don't see it happening. This is not a rip on Rodgers just the odds are against him playing 15 years not many qbs do that.

The points you make on Rodgers are no longer valid, lol. After Favre left, he wouldn't be a good player. After the first year, you where doubting if he could keep playing well his second year, while being high on Cassel.
Thinking about it, your points on any QB aren't valid anymore.
Jk, Dave.
And for him to play 15 years in the league, he'd have to play another 10 years after this season. He'd be 36 at this point. Asuming he won't suffer some horrible injury, that's a very reasonable age for a QB.
Of course the average age of a QB at retirement is a lot lower, as they're usually 5 year projects if they don't work out and then go and be back-ups for a year or 3.
Thinking Grbac, Banks and Brooks here.
Highly succesfull QBs, though, tend to stay around quite a bit longer.
Thinking Moon, Favre, McNabb, Cunningham and Manning here.
Of course he's not going to be as mobile, but I asume that he can still sling it. And as efficient and smart as he is, combined with some experience, he could still be one of the best at that point.
And he's not going to get hit like this year after year. I asume he won't. I mean, what organization (apart from the Lions), lets their QB get hit 50 time a year, year in year out.
