But they're also not going to commit to a guaranteed $20-30 million to a QB that sucks. That was my point - that there's a bunch of uncertainty surrounding this trade talk. I agree that Aaron hasn't been Aaron the last couple of years, but he still shows glimpses. We know what we have in AR, and we won't know for a year or 2 what we have in Love. If Love shows promise, then the trade talk will become warranted, especially if we start hearing some major grumbling or retirement talk from Aaron.
When the Packers drafted Aaron, we were already hearing rumors from the Favre camp about retirement. On the flip side, Aaron keeps talking about playing a lot longer, but realistically with the pounding he's taken, there's just no way he's going to make it more the 3-4 year max. We've seen over the past few seasons that we simply don't have anyone else on this team that can step in if Rodgers gets hurt - we have 0 quality behind him and maybe that's a big worry for ML and Gute.
I don't know what the answer is, but I don't think that we can say trading him in a year or 2 is a "lock" to happen. I sure hope we don't get to the same situation we had with Brett.
