This QB class boasts immense potential. Each prospect carries their own set of flaws, but their ceilings reach the stratosphere. From the cream of the crop to the tail end, every quarterback possesses a live arm with ample room for growth. It’s truly a tantalizing array of options, a pick-your-poison scenario for any team.

For those seeking to cultivate a quarterback talent beyond the first round, there exists a select group with the potential to be truly special. Presently, we have Rodgers, Tyrod, and Zach under contract, providing a stable foundation. The assurance of solidified QB positions for this year is indeed a relief.

However, it’s imperative to cast our gaze towards the future. The Aaron Rodgers rollercoaster won’t last indefinitely, and we must capitalize on his expertise while simultaneously grooming our next generation. Establishing a clear succession plan for the QB position is essential for retaining our star players, instilling confidence in the team’s trajectory.

With next year’s quarterback class shrouded in uncertainty, we must seize the opportunity presented to us now. It’s crucial to leverage the resources at our disposal and build upon them for sustained success.
