Why didnt San Fran draft Aaron Rodgers in 2005?

[AlbertPullhoez]

that shyt made no sense to me.

I was only 14 back then but even I knew Aaron Rodgers was a better QB than Alex Smith

 

[DStyles]

Same reason the Raiders drafted

 

[AlbertPullhoez]

I bet Rodgers even wonders that, he probably gonna come out looking to have a huge game this weekend

 

[FaTaL]

if it was that obvious why was he drafted in the 20s?

why dont u ask mccarthy, he wanted smith

 

[HacksawJimThuggin]

dumb ass Fins... we had no QB to speak of and we draft a glorified college FB with the 2nd pick instead of drafting Rodgers. It's incredible how many QB's we could have had but didn't for various reasons

Rodgers wouldn't be nearly as good as he is now if he was drafted by the niners..People forget he sat behind Favre for a few years, he would've been the starter DAY 1 on the Niners

 

[Formerly known as...]

Wasn't his current HC the OC at the 49ers at the time they passed on him?

at the time, rodgers was thought to have an attitude problem and some were saying hed be uncoachable. people also shied away from a tedford qb after boller turned out like shyt

nolan went with a 'smart' 'coachable' guy

this.

also, you may recall, there were questions about his mechanics, which sounds ridiculous in 2013.

Rodgers wasn't ready out of college. Think T-Mac out of HS to the NBA but in the NFL, you don't have time to mess up.

i disagree. if anything, Alex Smith was T-Mac. He came out as 20 year old, which is ridiculous for a professional qb.

Smith was fundamentally ready, Rodgers wasn't. He was very raw. He looked like crap his first two years in pre-season as well. What Rodgers improved on made him who he is today.

Why did Russy Wilson go in the 3rd round?

Wasn't Rodgers believed to be a reach at the time?
