Most people are reading the tea leaves and see Aaron pretty much in a no win situation, he basically has to be the GB starting QB this year.
Jordan, even as a backup QB, could absolutely be elevated into the lower teens, though I'm not seeing how a purely backup player could go any higher.
He has a good camp, looks good in preseason action, gives people a good impression, he'll get votes in the teens. Rodgers absolutely would have in 2008 even if Brett didn't retire. Even after 2006 preseason there was reason for optimism; he looked a lot better than his stats and the anemic offense. In 2006 the 2nd string OL was absolutely awful and backup receivers couldn't catch anything, but I thought Rodgers looked pretty good, I would have put him in the mid-20's (granted many disagreed with me, the Rodgers bandwagon was very lonely at that time).
But, Jordan needs to show something, at least in camp, to be in consideration in this area, we just don't have that yet.
