At what point are you OK with a total rebuild

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.

True, some of the can't miss guys do miss, but it you never try for one of them you are going to have a roster full of middle of the pack kinda guys. You have to take a chance at some point and do something different to get over the hump.

We've done the same thing over and over and over and have no playoff wins or championships to show for it. So, it one thing doesn't work after all these years, at some point you have to try a new approach. 

Got the new coach, so he has a small window where people will expect growing pains. Let him get a new young QB to groom and things could be interesting.
