Clear future as a franchise? none
I think the so called GB approach allows for one big factor and that is having a QB trained and ready understanding the offense completely before being thrown to the wolves. I think for most rookie QB it is hard, the game is faster and you are learning on the move including the offensive system. I would rather have a QB sit and be fully prepared when he his opportunity comes. There are a small handful who are NFL ready or close to it when they enter the league but I think a lot of QB get ruined because they get overwhelmed by this league and have a total loss of confidence because they were forced into action before they were ready. I comment the Brown HC for not throwing Johnny Football out there right away
Everyone wants to have a backup QB trained and ready. That's not unique to GB.
My point was that the Aaron Rodgers scenario was a fluke.
He was projected by some to go #1 overall and he fell all the way to GB--who had no intention a taking a QB in the first round but did in that case because he was by far the BPA on their board. It wasn't a plan to use a 1st rounder. There for awhile, they were burning 2-4th rounders though.
To make it more of a fluke is he eventually turned out to be a HOF level QB.
