Arguably the easiest position for the Green Bay Packers to analyze is Quarterback. They have a once in a generation starter, a promising young backup, and a solid Practice Squad candidate. Aaron Rodgers Rodgers will be fully expected to be in the conversation for NFL MVP once again this season. Adding Jimmy Graham to…
