We shall see...

I understand why you'd think so, but you've got to keep mostly the same roster, add good free agents without losing any, draft well, not lose players to injury, and hope your great coordinators don't get head coaching jobs and bail on you. 😣

Then you got the salary cap...

The Great Equalizer!

Winning with a QB on his rookie contract seems to be one of the models for playoff success. With his relatively low salary cap, teams can navigate the cap to keep key vets and add higher-priced FA. Of course, injuries can and will take their toll as well as poaching of coaching staff. But, as we saw with the Bucs after their SB with Brady, even keeping the band together doesn't guarantee success.

Ultimately the NFL is a week-to-week, year-to-year Shakespearean play that takes dips, dives, rocket-like takeoffs, unexpected turns with cheers and moans of disappointment. Success is never guaranteed. But that's what makes it so popular!

Kansas City has a similar home crowd and noise level. Don't think Joe will be intimidated. Think the advantage the Chiefs have is Joe beat them last year in KC. That should be the extra motivation to get them over the top.

Will probably put a small wager on Cincy to help numb the potential pain.

Depends a lot on the values and character of the QB.

Brady had discount wide receivers, and when he would renegotiate his contract, the Patriots invested the savings into defense.

Aaron Rodgers just gets as much as he possibly can, leaving the rest of the cupboard thread bare. Then he bicthes about the supporting cast.

Owners can spend or not. Up to them. The cap is a lie they made up when they don't want to spend...buncha Socialist Billionaires.

Yup. As smart as he is, you'da thunk he'd have figured that out by now. Mebbe nice to be the highest paid QB (...albeit only until the next QB gets paid...) but if winning Super Bowls was his main objective then taking less would have reaped benefits years ago.

In a recent interview (think it was the McAfee Show) they talked about whether he would/could/should come back. He said he feels good enough to comeback and whether in GB or elsewhere to win another MVP or two.

If he'd pull his head out of his arse, he'd say A Super Bowl or Two. Seems the thought never occurred to him.

They paid some receivers but I think his beef was those were ALL diamonds in the rough draft picks. And only one was also a freak (Adams) and he was a 2nd round pick. And I think they drafted Love (QB) too high and that’s what pissed him off MORE than the team drafting a QB.

Pfft. Typical Bears fan. You hate him ‘cause he still fuggin’ owns you! 😝

But, if the shoe were on the other foot, I would h8 Rodgers too. 🤣

College? [gonzo]

Sheesh, starting from Chico State or his one and only year at Cal? 🤔

Cal musta beat the chit outta OU or OSU that year. 🐴
