Just my opinion but I think that has a helluva a lot to do with our last 1st round QB draft being so long ago. Especially now with revenues being what they are.

That didn't stop Green Bay from selecting Rodgers in the 2nd, and I'm pretty sure someone can come along and point to another small market team picking a QB high, not getting the desired result, and then moving on down the road without keeling over dead as a franchise.
