Unfortunately today, it's all about "play now" for those R1 QBs because everyone sees them as a savior and so few can actually do it. If Mayfield, Watson, J. Allen, et al., had a full year or two of just learning, they would probably be a whole lot better for it. I doubt that even Rodgers could have carried the whole weight of a franchise as a starting QB his rookie year and been successful. 

I don't think so.  I saw him close up from the 50yd line in one of his first preseason games his rookie year.  Looked lost and almost meek.  First thought when seeing our newest RD1 QB was "that's the guy? crap."  

That's not what I saw from Rodgers. 

Then I saw him live take over for an "injured" Favre in Dallas & he almost brought them back in 2007. 

That's when I knew the Pack had a starting QB after Favre

Yes, but remember that in 2007 Rodgers was already almost three years on the bench and learning after being drafted in 2005, and he didn't start until the next year. If anything, you helped make my point that a QB should sit on the bench for a couple of years before being expected to carry a team. My point was that I doubted Rodgers could have been a starter his rookie year and been able to carry the team.

(I saw that game v Dallas as well and thought GB was going to be in good hands after Favre.
