    Only at QB. Everything else will likely need to be upgraded. QB is a different beast. There is a chance we see Darnold vs Maye as Super Bowl QBs. QB position right now is in a lull. Advanced everything around Rodgers and maybe he can help win like Peyton Manning did in his last year with Denver, barely able to move his neck.

    Go young everywhere. But Rodgers is the only QB they can use to play at the moment. If they have another option, cool. I’m just going by what they have now.

    This is a pretty accurate assessment of Big Ben.

    More physical talent than Brady

    Less mental talent and effort than Brady

    One is the greatest

    The other is struggling to feel relevant

    Darnold has a good chance to be the first QB from his draft class that includes Mayfield, Allen and Jackson to play in a Superbowl.

    Yeah. That’s literally the exact same plan that the team has been trying since 2020. I think we all have seen enough of that stratagem.

    No, this team needs to get rid of washed guys and go young everywhere but QB at the moment. They have to hit in the draft immediately.

    They’re on first contract guys or early second contract guys all over offense.

    And they are young on defense aside from like 3-4 guys. I think Heyward, Watt, and Ramsey are the only guys over 30.

    What you’re outlining is either more of the same or just a rebuild.

    Either way, it’s not that big a change.

    Extensive case you present.

    I feel your argument might be with reality rather than anyone here.

    At some point, arguing something I know and someone is not listening, it’s just a waste of time.
