THERE IS A RESERVE ARMY OF UNEMPLOYED QUARTERBACKS.

I've stayed away from the rumor-mongering about Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers (read this summary for dispassionate details) although I've long maintained that the team has a responsibility to think about the succession.

The Packers, though, just hired a quarterback (former Jacksonville Jaguar Blake Bortles) with recent playoff experience on a one-year contract.  Milwaukee sports pundit Bryan Dee summarizes that action: "That says everything you need to know, not only about [first round draft pick Jordan] Love, but about [Packer general manager] Brian Gutekunst, as well."

You can question authority, but authority gets to answer.
