Rodgers future replacement

[scotscheese]

Having changed TV providers recently, who I now use doesn't show any NFL, but do show CFB and CFL. so I've kinda had my first real look at college football, and the possibilities of future players of the NFL. And though i won't consider myself any kind of expert, i wonder if i'm also seeing Rodgers future replacement who could be drafted in the next 2-3(?) years, then have a year or two under Rodgers to learn the game at NFL level

was watching the FL state v U of Miami earlier this week, and though the commentators were mostly speaking about the FL state QB, it was the Miami freshman QB that caught my eye, N'Kosi Perry, it was only his second start, and though he didn't complete half of his passes, he still looked very assured and made some good completions

are these the types of guys that the FO will be scouting over the next couple of years in the hope of getting someone anywhere near as good as AR is(can be)

also, it blows my mind that they played this in a full 64,000 seater stadium and it looked full

I'm absolutely convinced the Packers front office is doing their due diligence scouting quarterbacks but in my opinion it's still to early to think about Rodgers replacement. With him being under contract for another six seasons it doesn't make sense to draft his successor until the 2021 draft at the earliest.

With that being said I haven't seen Perry play so there's no way I can make an educated guess about his chances to make it in the NFL.

From the looks of Rodgers game this year and his growing injury history, the Packers should perhaps prepare to draft his successor in April of 2019.

With Rodgers under contract through the 2023 season a quarterback drafted next year would most likely not play any significant snaps for the Packers before leaving in free agency after the 2022 season though.

You mean.....It's not Tim Boyle?

Or if the injury bug bites Rodgers again next year, the rook could be required to start any number of games.
I'd rather have a top rated rookie to step in than Kizer.
If in three years our top rated rookie isn't getting significant snaps because Rodgers has become Rodgers again then put him on the trading block and resume searching.

I definitely prefer the Packers to upgrade the team around Rodgers than use an early draft pick next season on a quarterback who might end up being an improvement over Kizer as a backup.

It hard to keep a good rookie qb on the sidelines anymore, they all seem to want a staring job.

Well, with rookies having to sign for four years there's nothing they can do about it though. In addition Rodgers and Mahomes might work as perfect examples of it making sense.

Had to go back and re-read the OP - thought you were talking the Perry we've already got.

Good Point

Wouldn't it be cool if we drafted a QB for the future (doesn't have to be drafted until a few years from now) and Rodgers took time to mentor and develop said rookie? 3 HOF QB's in a row anyone?

And there seems to be an awfully lot of good QBs coming out of college now. Maybe it is a trend that is not going away.

should have been Baker Mayfield.

With the new rules in the league

it makes an average QB turn into superstars

I would have been in total agreement with that over the last 7 or 8 years, unfortunately Ted Thompson didn't see it that way.
If Rodgers was the Rodgers of old, I would still agree with that but I'm afraid that he's slip sliding away due to injury issues and poor play calling and coaching.
I'm thinking he is still capable of having an excellent year or two going forward, but I'm also thinking that outside of those couple of years he very well may play no better than an average quarterback.
Giving him the keys to Fort Knox following an injury and before his contract was up (2 years) will prevent the Packers from signing players (many) who would be the necessary upgrade required to enhance his last few years in Green Bay.
There are so many holes in this team because of poor personnel decisions by the previous GM, that I would prefer that the Packers fill a possible hole at the most important position sooner rather than later.

I half agree with you. I feel that the league has become a place where the actual QB matters less and less. I mean what did Trubisky have a couple weeks ago like 6 tds or something? And against us Cousins had what like 400 or 500 yards? Even with a bad defense that is still crazy. X amount of years ago i would agree with you 100%. But now with the rules in place its pass and catch league where there isn't as much of a difference between "elite QBS" and Alex Smiths/Kirk Cousins.

Come on WIMM, when has not knowing anything about something ever kept you from commenting on it?

Sorry, you just lead me into that one and I couldn't let it go.

This reminds me of shopping for Christmas in April.......4 years ahead of time and possibly being Jewish. Sure, its fun to talk about it, but might as well throw 1000 darts at a 100o lists of names.

Anyway, aren't we all convinced that Hundley will eventually be back in Green Bay and 20 years from now have his number retired?

What if you are doing last Christmas's shopping the following April?

You can't stare from the sideline?

Barring injury, Rodgers drafted replacement is signing a letter of intent this fall or first walking on to campus next spring.

I'd rather have a top rated rookie to step in than Kizer.

Last year Kizer WAS a top rated rookie.

should have been Baker Mayfield.

I'd have not had an issue with that. This board and the twitterverse would have just exploded. Talk about breaking the internet.

Jersey retired or burned?

Guessing that person is single.

Just hung out to be mocked and to serve as a cautionary tale.

Not sold on the Miami kid, not accurate enough with his throws. Coaching helps mechanics, what a QB sees from the D, but the ability to see, gauge where the receivers going, and instinctively put the ball in the right spot in a millisecond is something you are born with . If it was something you can coach them up on every team would have an Arod, a Drew, or a Brady. There is maybe 6-8 guys in the world that throw a football at that level, if it was coachable there would be hundreds. We got 2 in a row, but how was our QB play the 20 years before Bret?
