Building A Champion - Packers Quarterbacks & Running Backs

As of today, we have great problem, Aaron Rodgers & Aaron Jones.

I say this EVERY YEAR - to go from Brett Favre to Aaron Rodgers, WOW!  Packer Fans have been blessed at the quarterback position for MANY years!!! 1992 to 2020!  That will be 29 years!

I said:

29 years  -   WOW!

So, Aaron Rodgers.  He is special, BUT, he is human!  At times he hold the ball too long & if you saw him on Jeopardy, his is NERDY!  He is a thinker.  His battle with his parents over religion is a prime example - Christian Faith vs world beliefs - Aaron Rodgers is a DEEP thinker!  But, I will definitely enjoy the rest of his career as a Packer!  My issue?  THE BACKUP QUARTERBACK!  This has been an issue for the last few years!  Now, we have Tim Boyle  (year 2) & Manny Wilkins (Rookie)  - this is scary!

Running backs Aaron Jones & Jamaal Williams are a great 1-2 punch!  Aaron Jones stats - 1084 yards & 16 TD's - 49 receptions & 3 TD's!  WOW!  Jamaal Williams stats - 460 yards & 1 TD - 39 receptions & 5 TD's!  WOW!  1 - 2 Punch!  Backups - Dexter Williams, Damarea Crockett, Tyler Ervin, & Fullback - Malcolm Johnson.  Tyler Ervin was just signed, showed promise in the return game & started to play some offense.  Has some of that "shiftiness" we NEED in our offense!  The other players we really do not know!

Therefore, out of our 10 draft choices, I would try a running back.  Probably not until after the 4rth round!
