    It is very much a thing. Edmunds doesn’t fill a hole, he has excellent range but his instincts or manhood often come up short. He NEVER goes straight into a RB. NEVER.

    Maybe he's learning the game at this level, improving his instincts even more, will eat a couple of rare steaks this offseason and will come back with more manhood and capability of filling some holes.

    edmunds over vander esch isnt looking good

    I was contemplating this.  Edmunds is having a great year, but Vander Esch has been a beast since he's been in the starting role. I'm trying to determine who will be better 5 years from now, and am not really leaving one way or the other.

    It’s an interesting question. If Allen turns out to be Big Ben, there’s no way I trade 15 years of that for a few years of A rod. And cheaper salary for at least the next 4 years.

     

    Now of course the big question is can Allen be Big Ben/Newton good.  

    I agree. The original post about this said to assume Rodgers would play at a similar level as this year for four more years and that Allen shows positive development for the remainder of this season.

     

    I think the knee jerk reaction says it is a no brainer trade to make. But, the potential of Allen developing into "the guy" for Buffalo makes it a pretty interesting question to consider.

  4. I would take Allen over Darnold.

     

    On a similar note, but completely different question; there are rumors that Aaron Rodgers will likely not finish his career in GB, and even that he may have already, or soon will, request a trade. Some (random chatter I hear on sports radio) feel he has about 4 to 5 years left and that his skills are diminishing, though his numbers remain solid (TD to INT ratio is ridiculous - shout out to Poyer). I think it is apparent he looks better now (these past two games) since he his healthy and has mostly regained his full mobility. 

     

    Obviously this is hypothetical, which requires some assumptions, but assume Rodgers wants out of GB and does have 4 good years left (similar level of play as this season). Would you trade Allen straight up for four years of Aaron Rodgers producing at the level he is currently demonstrating he can play at? It is a complete unknown what exactly Allen will achieve, but for the sake of this question, assume he continues to progress and display signs of positive development.

     

    I do not mean to hijack this thread, but it is all "would you rather" QB discussion, and I did not see much need for a completely new thread.
