I would take that, too...but Rodgers is the elite in the equation.
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.

Calvin Johnson - $20,558,000 cap hit for one season.
Jordy Nelson - $4,600,000 cap hit for one season.
Randall Cobb - $5,350,000 cap hit for one season.
Calvin 71 receptions 1,077 yards 8 TD's
Jordy 98 receptions 1,519 yards 13 TD's
Randall 91 receptions 1,287 yards 12 TD's
Calvin is vastly more talented than both Randall and Jordy, but I will take
189 receptions
2,806 yards and
25 TD's for under
$10 million over 71 receptions 1,077 yards and 8 TD's for $20 million every single time.
Talent does not win you games. Production in the way of points does.
