Packers fan question time
this is 100% hypothetical and would not happen even once in a million parallel universes
but what would you think of trading Rodgers to the Browns for their 1st and 4th picks and I would assume a bit more?
not gonna lie, the thought of starting a somewhat fresh era of Packers football with a new GM and DC, Saquon Barkley, maybe Chubb, and a 1st round QB...
that would get me more excited to watch football than where we are at right now
never ever happen, I know, but in a Madden-controller world, I think I'd actually pull that trigger
In Madden? Absolutely if I got a ton of draft picks because Madden is lulz and you can make shit work. IRL? You're talking about trading one of the best of all time in a period where the game is "Find a HoF QB or be mediocre at best."
Not to knock Wilson but the Seahawks are an example of what happens when you don't have an elite QB. You get somebody that can get you by with an elite unit on either side of the ball and some playmakers. Now that they actually have to pay those guys, they're struggling to compete. The same thing will happen with the Eagles if Wentz doesn't get to a Rodgers/Brady level. They can't afford to keep the defense together long term so they'll have to keep hitting on draft picks. Nobody other than BB has been able to do it long term in recent history.
