Five years ago, I MIGHT have been on the trade for Rodgers train. Although players (especially QBs - because of the "all QBs are sissies" rule) last longer in the league, Rodgers is still at the latter part of his career. We need a QB who can keep us in contention for a decade or so. Is Tua that guy? Personally, I don't think so - for various reasons. But he's a good enough game manager to keep us respectable and, perhaps, take us to a SB with a good supporting cast (Trent Dilfer, Mark Rypien, Eli Manning, EVEN ELWAY who did NOTHING without Terrell Davis). I think Tua has the skills, but I have reservations about his confidence and self-motivation. He definitely needs a supporting cast. Luckily, it looks like we have one and are continuing to build one. Aaron Rodgers has a single SB ring and he has spent his entire career (or the majority of it) with above average talent. Far more than ours over that span. Bringing Rodgers in would mean playoffs this year, but what beyond that??? THIS is Tua's season to prove. If he doesn't, then we need to contemplate a trade up for Sam Howell. He IS the real deal. I'd venture to say he is a bigger play maker than any QB in this past draft. He has less to work with than the big schools and is STILL exceptionally productive.
