    AR is the best option ..He played well to have a horrid WR core a novice at OC , and a head Coach who didn't really care to score until late .. Plus we avoided the middle and thats the exact weak spots in zone coverage..

    AR can keep Will from learning a new system, learning the new weapons and still learning the QB spot in the NFL in general...Let him watch and learn get his mental game together , get Coached up without taking a beating or killing his confidence....

    I don't want to watch another season of Aaron Rodgers being too afraid to take a hit and quit on a play too soon. I also don't see why anyone would want another teams second string QB. If Willis or Jones were that good, they would be starting. We have a QB with size and potential, lets see what he has before we start trading draft capital for guys we already know aren't starters. I don't want better 2nd string QB's that may or may not be better than what we already have, I want an elite franchise QB and we already know Rodgers is past his shelf life, Willis isn't and has never been good enough and Mac Jones cant beat out the last player selected in the draft.....but our 6th round steal isn't better? I say let the kid play, learn, take the hits, lets see if he does have what it takes! I know he wants the chance and I know he has the heart to give it everything he got!!

    I think it’ll be Rodgers, it just makes the most sense given the pieces that are now in place. Now if only we could fast-forward to the draft!

    Baker Mayfield was a former top draft pick who went through a time as a backup, then emerged as a quality starter in the NFL.

    Sam Darnold is a former top draft pick who struggled, went through a time as a backup, then emerged as the starting quarterback for the Super Bowl champions.

    This notion that someone who was a backup at one point can't be the starter simply doesn't hold up.

    Jones and Willis both started their careers in bad situations, then got to work with better coaches and improved. A guy like that is where the value of McCarthy comes in. If he thinks one of them can be the guy, they are worth a shot.
