What’s your early take on Jordan Love?

[mraynrand]

Instead, the Packers are dong what they did with Favre, not talking to him much and just waiting to see what he does.

Maybe they did talk to him? Like, right after the draft? If not, they openly said they missed on the receivers they wanted. They basically threw the new guys under the bus - probably at least a little for Rodger's sake.

[GB-Brandon]

Let’s please quit acting like all we did was draft a back up QB that provides future upside too.

The whole draft was slanted towards Rodgers not having a chance to excel other then “3 yards and a cloud of dust”

This is the type is shit you do when you have Blake Bortles and an Elite Defense.

[texaspackerbacker]

No, it was slanted toward the idea - rightly or wrongly - that we really didn't have that many immediate needs. The status quo brought us 13-3 last season. The negativists and panic mongers seem to think that was an aberration and can't happen again. Gutekunst, LaFleur, etc. seem to think it can. The more I read about Love, Dillon, and most of the lower picks, the more it seems like we got good players, just players we didn't need in the short term. We'll see if they got it right.

Gute said after Round 1 they had not spoken. Not sure about since then.

What do you think the odds are of having the same luck with injuries this year?

I don’t think the percentages are in are favor.

I’m starting to like some of these picks too. Dillon was a guy i wanted. Gute needs to go get another receiver.

Is Paul Richardson still available anyone?

I mean...I have suggested signing Bortles to a cheap deal as the QB after Rodgers.

Rodgers stopped answering his calls...

[GB-Brandon]

Here is the vision on “Love” lol

Best scenario they drafted a Patrick Mahommes type talent and in there mind worse case scenario with development they get a Jimmie Garapalo type QB on a rookie deal with 5th year option.

So they felt like they couldn’t pass it up. Time will tell.

[Deputy Nutz]

I am not sure there is a fix. Brady did the same thing to Hoody in New England. Brady wanted better talent at WR too.

Ideally, you have a lot of long conversations and win him to your side.

Instead, the Packers are dong what they did with Favre, not talking to him much and just waiting to see what he does.

Favre just about begged Thompson to pick up Randy Moss in 2007, and Thompson called Moss and asked him to be a good boy and that Driver was the leader of the receiver crew. Moss was then traded to New England and caught 23 touchdown passes. Thompson loved giving the big "Fuck You" to Favre. Gutenkunst is following the same script.

[GB-Brandon]

Also what Gute can do is now is leverage draft picks to bring in another weapon now with being able to re-coupe that pick or picks when they trade Rodgers down the road.

Might of been a genius move. I’d love to be wrong here.

See this is my problem. Why do that to Rodgers? The guy gave us everything. I mean he had his shoulder literally screwed together to try and come back early to help us win and make the playoffs.

That’s a Fucken bullshit chicken shit attitude. If this is what Gute is doing then I can’t wait for it to crash on his dumb ass and bury him 6 feet under. That’s Fucken some bullshit.

That's a pretty big assumption. We only get what each side decides to tell us. I don't know you're wrong, but I have to believe they'll pick up the phone to talk unless Rodgers shuts it down?

[GB-Brandon]

“EVIL PEOPLE”

[GB-Brandon]

Go make a trade for AJ Green and then Rodgers will pick up the Phone. Get it done!!!

Not even close.

Favre had Driver, Jennings and James Jones in 2007. We don't have anything like the talent on this team after Adams.

What did Favre put up for stats in 2007? 4,155 yards 28 tds 15 ints. One of his best years in GB. Whose yards are you taking to keep Randy Moss happy?
