I get the not wanting to tank thing, but would you trade one season of bad play, and shipping off guys on the last year of their deals for high picks to get a guy that gives you a chance in every game?
To me, I sacrifice that one season for 8 to 10 years of having the most important position on the field solidified. Would you sacrifice a 0-16 season to have 10 years of Rogers in his prime? We survived the 90's and there was no real hope in those years, this would be sucking for a reason.
Here is the problem with your logic. Lots of "can't miss" guys actually miss.
You mention Rodgers and he is a perfect example. Alex Smith was the #1 overall "can't miss" pick in the '05 draft and he won a total of 19 games in his first six seasons. Rodgers was not taken until the bottom quarter of the first round (24th) just one pick in front of Jason Campbell.
