I got ripped last year for suggesting we trade him for a second rounder.

Christ.

Not sure we could get a 4th for him now.

Aaron Rodgers is a future league MVP, he is the shit. He will after this year likely be considered one of the top 5 QB's in the league.

Even if Derrick Johnson was good, which he's not, we ****ed up the pick.

Hey, it happens. Everyone here loved the DJ pick at the time and most people thought Rodgers would be a bust coming out of Cal. Hindsight is a beautiful thing.

You're right, all of us were shaded and thought we were close to a superbowl so we had to go defense.

Another good bump.

This one makes me sick though.

Crap like this is why Carl Peterson no longer is employed.

Especially while DV was here they only thought about the here and now. Never about the future.

The one pick they did think about the future was the LJ pick which ended up being decent.

That's cause DV was older than dirt, he had no interest in building a team for the coach after him.

That was why we had a team full of vets.

I don't think ANYBODY at the time would have thought drafting Rogers over DJ would have been smart at the time.You really can't bitch about that pick, it just didn't work out or hasn't yet. I would not be surprised to see DJ wake up and have a great year finally. He has shown the talent at times but not consistently enough obviously.

Now there are plenty of other DV and Edwards era Peterson picks you can bust on. In fact plenty of Marty era ones as well.

Aaron Rodgers would have had the worst coaching imaginable here in KC. His talent would have been wasted and he would be looked upon as a 1st round bust.

I ate my crow and came to my senses last year.

Funny to see people still fighting this.

It's hindsight. This board would've ****ing melted down if they took Rodgers over DJ. Rightfully so.

DJ was the right pick AT THE TIME.

Just like Glenn Dorsey was the right pick last year, but I'm sure we'll have an equally dumb thread soon asking if we should've taken a far inferior PROSPECT over him.

Sure you can, it shows a lack of foresight that one has to have on draft day.

hindsight is always 20/20

Superior talent can trump dumbass coaching.
