2020 Wide Receivers

He might well have agreed with the pick though. There was a report that Lafleur was added to the list of candidates at Gute's insistence. There were a lot of former head coaches on that list. I've always wondered if going that route was Murphy's preference, until they interviewed Lafleur.

Yes, I read that too. But Gute was ready for second interviews, Murphy was ready to hire. Hard to read much into that.

If stating facts is praise in your mind, I guess. Also, I said nothing about his success at FA. I just said he spent a fair amount on those guys.

Its also Year 3 of Gute. Ted signed a big chunk of those FAs in 2006 (in his year 2-3) and then hibernated as someone would say.

Plenty of time for Gute to be sleepy too.

Just my $0.02, but the Woodson signing was TT's greatest move behind drafting Rodgers.

I think so. Though Pickett was very good too. And Peppers should have been on that level had the team not pulled a brain stem in the 2014 playoffs.

I suppose it's possible Gutey and Flower have decided that a 36 year old QB who has broken both collarbones and suffered 2 significant leg injuries might not be able to do everything he could do when he was 26. So they've drafted his eventual replacement. And they've installed an offense with more emphasis on the run so that the QB doesn't have to perform heroics every week for the team to win. Crazy.

It almost makes sense if you're minds not made up on something else

[RashanGary]

It's possible they weren't even looking to draft Rodgers replacement, but love was too good to pass up. You never regret Russell Wilson, Aaron Rodgers or Patrick Mahomes (all drafted by wolf deciples) You move up to get them if possible.

But if Love shows that HOF stuff, just a bad situation for AR as AR is approachint 40 and you have to keep the young one if there is a choice.

It's possible for the situation to be undesirable for Rodgers and good intentions to have been applied at the same time.

I think they decided that a team drafting in the mid 20's/early 30's almost every year doesn't often get a chance to draft a QB as talented as Love. I suspect they were set on moving up to get Love from the start if he slid in the draft.

They're pretty similar in that regard at the same point in their tenure.

I know the popular sentiment is Thompson avoided free agency completely. Like many things, the truth is not as black and white as the narrative.

Unless they are sitting on the bench behind your HOF QB.

We had Brunell, Haselbeck and Brooks on the Packers teams when Favre was here. At least we were able to get some draft capital when we traded them.

Double post.

[GB-Brandon]

Possible? Yes, anything is possible. But it is much more likely some combination of Murphy, Gutekunst, and LaFleur are on a power trip and trying to simultaneously tank the franchise and alienate our first ballot HOF QB. Or have you not been paying attention???

Im not so sure about “tanking the franchise.” I am certain they think they are on the right track and are building something that is fantastic and amazing. Time will tell on that. Now, “Tanking The Rodgers Era With GB” is a different story. They brought nobody in other then an injury proned JAG and passed on 36 receivers in the draft.

Instead they chose to make picks that align more with the future. I am simply following their moves here.

That is the part of the plan I don't think they have an answer for. If succession comes in two years, how do you handle it?

[RashanGary]

If love shows Hof stuff, you trade Rodgers without blinking

[RashanGary]

I'm starting to see what Brandon is saying about the future thing. He wants a full sell out on resources for right now with no thought of the future and gute balances it.

I understand gute trying to build sustainable success but I can see how someone just wants to shoot the whole load now too

[RashanGary]

I don't see clowney taking a year. Glad we have Deguara instead of a one year Sanders rental. But whatever, I see why they think that way
