Is Green Bay a glorified wasteland for Quaterbacks?

[CBSwagga]

Let's talk about it. People love to call Oakland(until recently) out as a graveyard for players. What about the Green Bay Packers. They have wasted the careers of two HoF so far. Brett Fave was able to take them to two SBs, while Rodgers has been to one. How could a team with these two as their starters in the last 25 years? Green Bay consistently ranks in the bottom half in defense and special teams. Has any other team wasted the talents of two standout QBs as bad as GB?

They don't sign free agents or their own ones either. They basically build through the draft and once those players become fa's they leave

There just lucky enough to have two of the top 10 qbs of all time in a row which is insane when you think about how many franchises haven't found an even competent qb in years

But the two years they did win it all, big FA signings played a key role in their SB runs. Reggie White in 96,l and Charles Woodson had got signed a couple years prior for the 2011 run. That build through the draft sounds good but results show the right free agents help a lot.

Lucky and wasteful(ungrateful). Maybe it'll take Rodgers retiring and them being a bottom feeder to realize the missed opportunities.

I would say Luck is a future hall of famer too, but I'd just be laughed at.

Both of our franchises stay eating though. I can't wait to find out who our next QB will be.

They need to fire Dom Capers, his defenses are just no good anymore.

Furthermore, Greenbay has a lot of young defensive prospects that need maturing.

Indy only won 1 Super Bowl wit Peyton and he played for them like 14 years


Dan Marino won none

McNabb and Romo had some decent weapons around them as well. We're talking about 2 top 5 quarterbacks playing one after the other, over a span of 25 years only getting 2 SB rings.

GB refuses to sign free agents they do it strictly through the draft which is what the Steelers do but when you do it that way you HAVE to hit on your picks..

They haven't lately and that's why Aaron has only one Bowl.

Watch gb win the super bowl this year

And? It takes more than a QB to win a superbowl. This ain't 7 on 7 nikka

How can it be a wasteland when both QBs won Super Bowls and Multiple MVPs

Rodgers is better than Peyton. If the Packers invested in defense every year like the Jets or Miami Do, Rodgers along could take the team to the SB every year. Peyton had top 10 defenses and failed in the playoffs multiple times.
