Get on board, bitches.
I'm on board. I didn't like the pick initially, and I still think it was the wrong move at the time. However, my interest in Love has increased this off-season. His skill set appears to align well to the offense we have moved to. The Packers were clearly extremely high on the kid as they traded draft capital and a chance to immediately improve a contending team to get him. I have to assume MLF was as excited about the kid as Gute was, or the pick doesn't happen.
I'm tired of Rodgers at this point. His gripes seem rather petty and trivial, and it seems he is about to plunge headlong into an abyss of selfishness. You'd think the Packers front office was diddling kids the way Rodgers approaches this. I'm also starting to think this is way more about MLF's decisions to kick field goals and take the ball out of his hands. Rodgers seems to enjoy bringing that up whenever he gets the chance. His "I'm the smartest guy in the room" act is wearing thin.

Rodgers seemed to resent MM just as much.
I'm rooting for Love to be good now that he's a Packer, and it sounds like he just might be. I'm NOT thinking positive at all about the pick, though. It was stupid on several levels, and it has the strong potential for negative consequences on several levels. There's no way IMO that Love, even if he is the best anybody has reason to hope he will be, would be nearly as good as Aaron Rodgers in '21, Rodgers in '22, Rodgers in '23, and probably not as good as Rodgers well beyond that. That's nothing against Love, though - nobody else would be better than Rodgers at those points either.
I am definitely lovin the Love for Love. I'm onboard the train.
Jumping on early even if it might be a train ride with a bridge out ahead. Better to be the engine and leading than the caboose trailing at the end.
The O'Jays are on board.

There is no doubt in my mind that the Love pick was at least in part coming from the lack of true leadership from Rodgers in the last season plus of fat Mike's tenure. Rodgers hesitates to publicly point the finger at himself, and it became quite obvious during that period. Now, maybe he is better at that behind closed doors, but I find that unlikely.
If Rodgers is intent on taking a holdout well into August to "prove a point", then I'm fed up with him. At that point, he will have become a cancer to the team, regardless of his talent and ability. To me, he has through the first week of August to clearly identify the issues causing him to not fulfill his contractual obligations...and they better not amount to his lame "it's about the people" garbage he mentioned in the ESPN interview. Specific, clear, logical...or send his ass to Siberia because he's not the leader we need moving forward.
How could anybody be any more than that on either count, given at Love is completely unproven, just looking good in unpadded practices - supposedly, and Rodgers has shown no indication of being less than the best in the league, as he was last season, and is the GOAT for his career. I guarantee you, though, if Rodgers goes somewhere else, I'll turn on him in a heartbeat. I just don't expect that to happen.

Just my interpretation, but I don't think Rodgers is or will ever be a "cancer." I expect the players will support him when he comes back. I don't even think management will hold any grudges. He's still respected by all.
I have a high opinion of AR and his judgement. I suspect whatever he is pissed about is legit - he might be right about certain personnel moves. AR is motivated by a passion to win. He just has blind spot about submitting to a boss.
I'm happy with Love until Rodgers returns. Only stupidity would be if they cut AR loose.
You know I'm running this train! :)
I was late on Rodgers. I’ll be late on love too.
