The NFL world usually has a delicate balance of quarterback talent playing for different teams. However, every now and then, there is an upset in that balance when an exceptional player decides to make unexpected decisions. Right now, that balance has been disrupted by none other than Green Bay’s veteran, Aaron Rodgers. The NFL world has been abuzz with anticipation for Rodgers’ decision. Rodgers himself has gone on to take drastic steps like a darkness retreat to supposedly decide. However, now his indecisiveness might begin affecting other players’ careers.
Chief among them right now seems to be the recently released quarterback, Derek Carr. After Carr’s release from the Raiders, the quarterback has supposedly been searching for his landing spot. However, with the shockwaves that Rodgers’ lack of decision has created, Carr’s potential landing spot might become uncertain.
