[QUOTE="Heyjoe4, post: 900358, member: 13032"] I have to eat some humble pie on this one as I thought Gluten should have selected a WR, or Queen in the first round (and ideally save the 4th round pick). I haven't followed Queen since but will take your analysis that there wasn't a huge difference, if any, between him and UDFA Barnes (I thought Barnes played very well last year). As to the topic of the thread, if a team has ALMOST enough talent to win a SB, but not enough, then it makes sense (in the age of the cap and free agency) to push all the chips to the middle and go for one, consequences be damned. The Patriots seemed to defy gravity by winning so many SBs in such a short period of time, and that was largely due to (in order) great personnel management/Tom Brady, some luck, and a little cheating here and there. I'll argue to my last breath that Rodgers is a better QB than Brady, but QBs alone do not win SBs. Unfortunately, pushing all the chips to the middle for the Packers right now is a VERY expensive proposition. Facing little cap space and the inevitable loss of some Pro Bowl/All Pro talent, the only way they can do this is to trade draft capital for talent. I hate that idea because in a few short years, you've got a loser or .500 team on your hands. The Bears tried it with Mack and Trubisky, got nowhere near a SB, and finished last year at .500. I'd rather the Pack kept their draft picks, keep Rodgers, and hope for some help elsewhere. There's no good answer. They'll still have a good team as long as Rodgers is QB, but now even that is being questioned. [/QUOTE]
