The real worry isn't beating Rodgers, it's Burrow and Allen sitting over there in their weaker divisions getting homefield advantage every year while the Chiefs, Chargers and Broncos beat the crap out of each other.
Yup. They'll also get scheduled against slapdicks in their non-divisional games and the Chiefs will have a top 5 schedule.
It sucks, but that's the way things are now. [Reply]

That is an excellent, yet very disconcerting point [Reply]

AFCN is no cakewalk. No guarantee the Bungles win their own division every year. And the Bills were all most taken to the wire with the Pats for their division. If Rodgers was smart and was coming to the AFC, he’d go to the Colts. Easier division, decent OL, running game, and defense. Coming to the AFCW would be foolish. [Reply]

Unless they had already worked out some parameters for a trade, and had it approved by Rodgers, it would be a massive reach to think that you could just hire an OC and that will mean you'll get Rodgers. [Reply]

I wouldn’t be so sure about that. He doesn’t need to ‘follow’ anyone to another team especially an OC. He’s going to call the ball no matter where (if) he goes. Additionally, that’s a rebuild situation (despite what’s on the roster) with a rookie HC. I don’t believe he’d be interested in something like that.
In my opinion, he wants to go to a competitive team with an established staff and front office. Denver is a ball of Fahk. [Reply]
You guys know damn well if you were them you’d hire this guy in the hopes of getting Rodgers.
You have the best QB in the world and another legit top 10 talent in your division. Rodgers isn’t a truly elite QB anymore but he’s a top 5 QB that gives them a realistic shot compared to what they’ve had [Reply]

Two straight MVP's. Rodgers is as elite as it gets, at least in the regular season. Some bad playoff chokes the last two years. Niners with a shitty QB should not be able to beat Rodgers with only 13 points. Brady (with 3 INT's) should not be able to beat Rodgers at Lambeau.
That being said, I suspect the Broncos would gladly sign up for Rodgers at MVP level in the regular season and choking in the playoffs. That's better than being a really bad team like they've been lately. [Reply]

How much capital are you giving up? Is it really a better investment than using those picks to prop up the organization (and perhaps develop your own guy) in the hopes that KC has a "down" year sometime over the next 5-8 years?
Would you rather draft your own Josh Allen and craft the team around him for the next 15 years or trade everything for Rogers and perhaps finish second in the AFC West once during Rogers' 2 years there? [Reply]

If I were the Broncos, yeah I'm sure I'd do this. Because the Broncos are dumb and if I were them, I'd be dumb too.
What if Rodgers doesn't want to leave GB? What if he'd rather just retire?
What if they have to give up 3 first round picks to get him.
It's a fucking stupid plan all the way around. [Reply]

What’s the alternative? Stay with the QB carousel of the last 6 years? How many QB’s that can compete with Mahomes come around in the draft? Even then you’d need a top 5 pick right?
Now they are just good enough to barely pick in the top. I think their GM will help them pick in the teens. [Reply]

In the first two scenarios, I don't know what to tell you - you're talking about alternatives when in those 2 scenarios, Rodgers isn't coming at all. It isn't a matter of compensation, it's Rodgers deciding he doesn't want to be in Denver.
In the last scenario where there's a trade, do you really think trading multiple 1st day picks is a wise strategy for anybody that's 38 years old? They have a much better chance of getting Rodgers and not winning it all than they do of getting a trophy out of it. The AFC West is stacked. And then they'll be forced to rebuild, without a bunch of picks, after winning nothing.
It's extremely short-sighted. Of course, it's a Broncos kind of move. I kind of hope they do it. [Reply]
