Oh I see. So when Rodgers has to put the team on his back with limited weapons and talent around him and doesn’t play at a Michael Jordan Level he is regressing.

But when Jordan Love has to do it and throws 17 picks and gets arrested for Marijuana before his bowl game(where he got outplayed by Dustin Crum of Kent State) we should give him a pass? Fuck that!!! Sanchez is a bum too.

How many picks did Rodgers throw last year IN THE NFL playing in 18 games? with similar problems? This franchise no longer deserves Aaron Rodgers. It’s PATHETIC!

[GB-Brandon]

The Packer organization has literally plundered a career of a generational talent with not much to show for it because of Ego, ignorance and a lack willingness(stubbornness) to get him legitimate weapons and necessary talent around him. This thing could of been so much more special.

People are gonna find out real quick what the 70’s were like. Everyone has been pacified by Aaron for quite some time now. If people think Jordan Love is the answer with way the Packers build a defense then there gonna be in for a lot of “L’s”

And it’s too late but someone needs to tell Gute that as a general rule when your contending for a championship you don’t draft players in the 1st round just to park them on the bench to develop. They did it with Gary and now with Love.

You just can’t expect to win titles doing this. The league is just too competitive. You need these picks to come in and produce NOW! These are top tier guys. You have to get some production.

Your asking Rodgers to do the impossible.

So, GB-Brandon, how do you feel about this pick in general?

But I tend to agree, wrong place, wrong time, wrong guy. I hope I am wrong.

Because other teams are “Getting Better Now” and we’re going “Backwards”. The Niners were already better then us and after today they are way better. We got our ass beat on the field and tonight they kicked our ass on the draft board. Other teams are getting better too.

They could of done many things with the 30th pick. Mimms and Higgins we’re still on the board. Queen who would of filled a piece on Defense was on the board. They could of gotten aggressive and traded up to get Aiyuk and Reagor. The Niners traded way up and got aggressive. They could of traded back and got more ammunition tomorrow.

But noooooooooo! They not only drafted a QB but they traded up to do it. It’s a total FAIL. Unless Love turns into the next cornerstone of this franchise it’s a massive mistake. One that might take years to recover from. I give the grade a F and if I could go lower I would.

Everyone in the entire world knows we don’t have any weapons outside Devante Adams and for people to sit there and say Rodgers has regressed when his receivers are 3rd rate and can’t get open is ridiculous. Then you have the best WR draft in years and this is the shit you pull.

It’s completely dysfunctional. The Gary pick last year and now this. Gute SUCKS!!!!

Typical Packer draft where everyone is scratching there head and trying to sell themselves on the failure. Rodgers will no longer be there to save us and this isn’t even close to a Super Bowl roster without him. With the right weapons I believe he had a lot of game left.

It’s a total throw away. You just can’t make mistakes like this and compete for championships.

I enjoyed reading this. .

We had so many glaring ‘win now’ needs. I’m still perplexed by this move.

[Bossman641]

I just don't see the way we end up extracting a ton of value from this pick. The whole point of having a rookie qb is to have a cheap contract there and open a window to spend elsewhere. Assuming Rodgers is gone after 2 years, we take a 30 million cap hit and have 3 years of Love cheap. More realistically, 3 more years of Rodgers and Love cheap for 2 years. Regardless of how long he sits his first year starting will be a learning experience and most likely not championship caliber. So 1 or 2 years of having a cheap qb.

[mraynrand]

If he’s the next franchise pro bowl level QB, it’s a great pick.

Even if he’s just a really solid backup it’s likely a valuable pick given that they’ll likely have to play him the next several years.

If he plays like Kizer or Hundley then yes it’s a bad no value pick.

I know I will be lashed out at and considered a troll but just relaying what I see.....

@UltraToughScene
Sources close to #Packers QB Aaron Rodgers say he is "beside himself" about the team's decision to draft a QB in the 1st round. "Aaron feels betrayed, he was told by management they would get him some weapons to throw to."

Trouble brewing in Packerland.

That is a troll account Ras, if the @UltraToughScene name is accurate.

[pbmax]

The more experienced scout (Marino) from The Draft Network--as opposed to Solak from an earlier part.

The work on accuracy part is what worries me.

[pbmax]

I'm not sure that is a really a reaction; it's the reality of the NFL. Young QB's need to play sooner. You can load a shitload of talent with a good QB making a few million a year as opposed to 30Mil/Year when you have to let talent walk out the door.

Russell Wilson/Patrick Mahommes...perfect examples of winning a Super Bowl on the first contract. In today's cap world sitting a QB for three to four years rarely happen, and when do you remember a team trading a 1st round pick and a 4th round pick to "move" up and let him sit on the bench for three to four years.

Bretsky, all young QBs played early then because they were going to terrible teams. There wasn't perhaps the same cap pressure, but they almost all started.

The two notable exceptions were Rodgers (3 years) and Mahomes (1 year) to get time to adjust.

[Packers4Glory]

this is nothing more than having players they thought they would get at 30 already taken off the board. So there is this supremely talented QB still sitting there with physical traits and mechanics that need little work. This guy is a possible franchise QB. He needs some work on reading defenses. So you take this formula you already had with Favre/Rodgers and apply it here. Love is going to sit for 3 years unless there's an injury..oh yeah about injuries. If Rodgers gets hurt this team was toast. No real talent behind him. Now if you can get thru a season, 2021 Love will be in a better spot to step in if something happens and maybe you have a real shot at still staying in the playoff race.

the issue is we are in a short window and this is the 2nd year we've taken a project player in the 1st that isn't going to play or play much on a team that needs to win now before one of the best ever really slips.

[pbmax]

If he’s really this big of a pussy, then maybe it’s time to move on sooner than later. Yes it likely will get ugly at some point. QBs typically don’t go out on a high note.

Same thing as with Captain Retirement.

They obviously needed a QB, if for no other reason that a decent backup alternative, but I wasn't looking for this one in the first round.

[pbmax]

The true irony, I think even better than Favre/Rodgers, is this:

Jordan Love was dismissed in a lot of circles because of his 2019 year. He defenders say he was not given any weapons.

Rodgers is now being projected to be declining. His defenders point out that his receiving corp is missing weapons.
