I'm not missing the point at all.

So, we wouldn't draft the next Calvin Johnson for fear he might cost us too much 4 or 5 years down the road?

We wouldn't want the next Adrian Peterson because he might be hard to retain?

Yes, that is a recipe for success????? Baffled.

Thank goodness we didn't do that with 12. Unless, our org miscalculated and only thought he would be good and thought he was merely good enough to move on from our HOF QB, we failed in drafting him. You all should be livid Aaron turned out great... now, we can't retain other positions because he's so freaking good.

I'm sure the solution would be to trade or cut him because we don't want this terrible problem hanging over our heads. It's unreal.

Any Packers fan wants as many great players on the roster as humanly possible. If every draft pick becomes an All Pro, we wont afford them all. We're not going to pick as many of Mel Kiper's top picks by virtue of draft position the last 20 years but that doesn't mean later round picks like Sitton, Lacy, or Cobb can't become damn good players, or that we as fans are rooting against their ascension.

I think that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. You want each player at each position to have as close to Dez Bryant type talent as possible.

In fact, you just said it in the highlighted portion above. So, why are you asking what point I'm trying to make when you are clearly understanding it?

Now, I don't know this for a fact but I don't think there's another fan base in the NFL who would type such things. It seems Packers fans have been conditioned to want to have good players and a good team...but not great players and a great team and the big worry is the cap. I will ask... Are you upset Aaron Rodgers is as good as he is? Would you rather have more cap space and just a good QB?

I can't say this is a fact, but I doubt there are many fans that are as spoiled as some Packers fans. For close to twenty years the Packers have had at least a legitimate shot to field a Super Bowl team. Yet there are still people who find every little reason to complain.

Some fans just choose to enjoy the team that we have. Can't fault them for not continuously acting like every little thing is going to be the team's downfall.

What if you could have Aaron Rodgers and Calvin Johnson

or

Aaron Rodgers and Jordy Nelson????

That is the decision. I'll take Megatron, thank you. I'll leave it to the sentimentalists and the fan capologists to spin why they'd want really want Jordy instead.

Matthew Stafford is NOT an elite QB, he's just paid like one.
