What’s your early take on Jordan Love?

[hoosier]

It never ceases to amaze me how those that criticize the loudest, have the least actual football experience or training. Like "Chicken Little" they run around claiming that the "sky is falling". The Packers "sky" is not falling, but evolving. Each season change is the one constant that is ever present. Players come and go, Coaches come and go, and it applies to management as well.

Most hoped that a need at WR would get 1st or at least 2nd priority in the 2020 draft. The final 4 rounds remain to still address this perceived need, and GM Gutekunst is fully aware of the Packers needs. Like a year ago, the acquisition of 2 fellows named Smith resolved many positional worries.

Drafting TE Josiah Deguara may at first sight look like GB went and drafted a too small and underweight player that does not fit the typical TE mould, but there could be a method to this perceived madness. Deguara is extremely strong and carries more weight than a "normal" WR. He should be more capable of withstanding those terrible hits that receivers get catching passes in the middle of the field. A suddenly appearing "4th" receiver that regularly catches and absorbs the hits while holding on to the ball, could force opposing defenses to change their pass coverage schemes. That may not be all that TEs Sternberger and Deguara could bring to the 2020 Packers.

GM Brian Gutekunst has not been perfect, he has made at least 1 poor decision sense he became the Packers GM. Yet it must be understood that as he prepares for the next season, he must also not neglect the teams future either. J.Love is certainly no threat to Aaron Rodgers now or until he retires, however we should not overlook how unplanned for things occur and there should be a backup plan in place. Love may just get the coaching/training/and seasoning that might find him stepping up one day as others have done with other teams.

I was about to post something about how Brandon is acting like an overtired three year whose parents just shut down his iPad for the night, but now I am worried that doing that might put me in agreement with Rada....What to do, what to do?

Explain it to me then hot shot?

Nobody had been able to explain anything to me how this team got better thus far this offseason or how this draft has kept up in contention for any type of Super. Bow?

Please. Please. Explain. Enlighten me with your knowledge? Lol

[Bretsky]

I think it's hard to explain why GB will be better as a result of this draft.
I think it's hard to explain how we gained any ground on the better teams in the NFC.....Seattle/San Fran/New Orleans....and others.

We can say we're going to improve from within, If that is the best argument we have every fan of ever team can say that.

If you look at rounds one to three at all of the listed picks, there are not many, if any....top 3 rounds I'd rather have than Green Bay's

I respect Brandon's passion

I've lowered my expectations

It's pretty simple. Love will have to spell Rodgers for 3 games and will have a 107 passer rating with 10 TDs and no INTs. Dillon will run for 1200 yards, and Deguara will catch for 800 yards and 7 TDs; Dillon will make the pro bowl as part of a juggernaut offensive equally balanced between smash mouth running, a creative passing scheme featuring Jones and a devastating play-action repertoire. Rodgers throws for 4200 in 12 games with a passer rating of 115, throwing to four different TEs, 5 different running backs and a revitalized WR crew including a dominant Adams and Funchess.

See how easy that was? And you can't prove me wrong. All you can do is demonstrate what a pessimistic, whining, tantrum-throwing baby you are.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

WOW; yes, it does feel like Gary Anderson...who initially had success at WI due the talent left to him but with each passing year he changed things a bit to get players who matched "his system" instead of maximizing what he had.

Reporters noted he had a different philosophy about the weight lifting and the type of OL he wanted at Wisconson. Thank God he went away before he set us back 10 years.

I honestly never thought of the comparison; it's a sick feeling

I agree this is really apt. Kind of had this feeling since he wanted to change all of the paintings of tradition, etc in the hallways of the players area at Lambeau. Such a contrast to Mac who came in just gushing about the history. I bet he’s more successful than Andersen because he has Rodgers though. It’s statistically unlikely he’s still the coach her in 5-7 years but I guess we shall see.

To be clear, I am not super down nor super up on him but nevertheless the notion of changing a successful formula is Andersen esque.

I’m not being a pessimist. I’m just being a realist. In fact, if you go back and read my posts you might see that they are the same things the media is saying “afterwards”

No one here owes you a fucking thing. Some people like to discuss football and come here to debate points. You come across as someone who needs to be right.

You don't want explanations, you just want to rant. Have at it.

There is nothing wrong with needing to be right Zool; I'm right nearly all the time....lol

No. I said they talk my points “afterwards”

Meaning my thoughts are already out there.

Oh trust me, I wish I was wrong. I really do and I’m flexible with my thoughts and ideas.

Like if the Packers would of drafted Tee Higgins instead of mims I would of been like well they know better and hope we got the right one.

This is different. This is something evil and that’s why I am so upset. To not draft one single receiver for the past two years when everyone knows outside Adams our receivers suck and this year the strength of the draft was receivers is just evil.

There pushing Rodgers out and it’s wrong.

[GB-Brandon]

I sure and the hell hope people don’t get mad at Rodgers when he goes and wins a Super Bowl somewhere else because this is nothing like the Favre situation.

[texaspackerbacker]

I seriously doubt they are pushing Rodgers out. It wouldn't surprise me at all if Rodgers was actually in on the decision process that got us Love and didn't get us a speed receiver, not that I agree with either, but the fact is, these people took us to 13-3 and the NFC championship team last season. Just maybe they know what they're doing.

No kidding! My 78 year old father said last week that the Packers probably have more Monday morning GM's than any other team in the league. He went on to add that the men that run the team have forgotten more than the vast majority of us know.
