The franchise

Named after the hold, and the hold is the record.

Aaron Rodgers started 154 games across fifteen seasons here, the longest single hold anywhere in the league, and returned plus 493. Nobody else has kept one man that long. Davante Adams ran nine seasons and 109 starts for plus 366 beside him, and Matt Forte nine and 116 before that. This is the one franchise whose identity and whose method are the same thing.

The draft pays for it. Plus 205 above replacement, one of only three franchises in the black off the board, and both of the men above came from it. Everything acquired any other way is worth minus 39, which is close enough to nothing that the answer is simple: Ed M. drafts and then waits.

Two titles, in 2011 and 2020, nine years apart, and no pattern between them. A quarterback led one and a receiver the other, and the franchise has never won the same way twice. Nine top-four finishes in nineteen seasons puts it fourth in the league for consistency.

But it ends badly more often than it should. Last place in 2013 and again in 2025, and the 2025 finish came the year after a fourth. Rodgers was still on the roster into 2026 at forty-two, kept again, which is either the habit that produced two championships or the same habit outliving them.

Ownership

Chris B. (2004–2008, as the Blues) → Ed M. (2009–). Ed's first season is 2009.

Plus 354 on the strength of exactly two picks that define value itself: Rodgers in round three of 2008 for 493 across fifteen seasons, Davante in round one of 2016 for 366 and the 2020 title. Ed has made fewer great picks than anyone in the top half of the league. The ones he made were the right ones, and he kept them both to the end.

The draft route is complete. The kept, wire and traded counts are empty because roster-building.json carries them for three franchises only — this is not one of them.

Franchise PAR per season. A gold cell is a season this man spent on a championship roster here, so a row can carry no gold at all. Hatched bars are seasons spent elsewhere, with the franchise named under the bar. Starts print under every bar.

Compared to whom

Each mark is one career. The five named men are this franchise’s Ring of Honor; the faint marks behind them are every other career in the field.

Hover any mark for the career behind it.

Career PAR: every start for every franchise. Population: 480 careers with ten or more starts — QB, RB, WR and TE only. Binned at 12 PAR: a column's height is how many careers landed in it and every dot in it is one career. 315 of 480 sit at or below replacement.

What the titles were built on

Two titles and no pattern: a quarterback led one and a receiver the other.
