    A 5th and a 7th. I dont really have any opinion of Milton but thats not a steep price.

    They must really believe in Rodgers. Hope that doesn’t bite them like Wilson. I mean they are aware they need a QB past this season right? Seems like two missed opportunities with Fields and Milton.

    Oh well, maybe bandaids every off season is the plan for the foreseeable future.

    No reason to think we didn't kick the tires on trading for Milton. I wanted Milton too. I like the thought of getting a young QB so we don't need to draft one this year. But that would leave us with only 5 picks this draft. It's s deep draft in several positions. Poor at QB but rich at others is a plan as well.

    Hard pass on Milton. Arm like a cannon but not accurate and no touch. With his size, I always expected him to be more a threat to run but he goes down on first contact.

    The draft picks is a fair point but maybe a player for player trade. You’re right though, we don’t know if they tried but just seems they are locked in on Rodgers. And they may even have a deal under the table for him already for all we know.

    I just figured get as many possibilities as you can in here, even if Milton is just the backup, still gives you the opportunity to be developed.

    Rodgers
    Rudolph
    Milton

    Then maybe Milton shows something during the season to the coaching staff and can roll with him next year or if he still has the same issues you turn to the draft.

    I just don’t like this eggs all in one basket approach.

    Yep, agreed. I have no idea of we looked into it or not. I remember reading that the Patriots were shopping him sort of. There was a little bit of discussion on bringing him here. I liked that idea but several did not.


    I would love to get rich in quality DBs for a change. Seems we're always one short.

    I've thought about that, and I think they're biting off more than they can chew. You've got rebuild vs. retool, contention vs. all-in. Right now they don't have to think about going all-in any more than committing a full rebuild. But they're concerning themselves with retooling strategies to the point that they're impeding their progress as a contender.

    Thus they remain spinning their wheels in the rut of nine-win seasons.

    I have a weird thing for some of the cartoon and comic strip ladies. Dug me some Betty and was sure I could kick Barney's ass;) When she came of age of course, your picture is when they were kiddies.
