Lets be honest here too. Lacy liked to eat and drink beer. Dillon is a "Finely Tuned Machine"

I agree. Good chance Dillon will have a longer career. Lacy's career trajectory bummed me out. I thought he had a chance to be one of the all-time great Packers. But then...

That and his known trips to Milwaukee boozing it up on nights way too close to game day.

I really liked him too coming out of Bama and was very excited when the Packers got him. He was great for a couple years but then things kinda caught up with him. He had that body type that just gets bigger and he wasn’t the hardest worker. I’m not sure he really Loved Football either.

I endorse everything in this video on Dillon. Also shows Dillon’s “Hip Flexibility” which I believe is far superior to Eddy Lacy. Keep in mind this was his Sophomore year. People can cry about using a 2nd round pick on him but I think we got a really good player here. I was mocking him in 4th mostly but that was basically cause that’s where he was at on all the boards. I didn’t understand how he was dropping and apparently the Packers didn’t either.

That's the complete in-exact science about the draft. What if someone had drafted Brady in the 3rd? They would have been spit roasted for a reach on a mediocre college QB. If the player pans out, there is no such thing as a reach. I blame ESPN.

What if..... The Packers keep and play Rodgers until his contract is over.

Take the 5tb year option on love

And then play love In his 5th year, letting Rodgers go.

I think it's possible. Gute might not be so enamored of the cheap QB on a rookie deal paradigm. Also, a one year starter isn't going to get a monster second deal.

But when he did draft for need, he got parts that fit LaFleur's offense better than Rodgers. So its easy to see it going either way.

There are just too many dynamics with the situation too see that far out. I’m sure anything is possible but I believe Rodgers needs to win a Super Bowl to even return next year. Anything less will leave a bad taste in the mouth and lead too finger pointing. There will be some roster attrition next year as well. It sounds like Rodgers has mentally accepted that there is a good chance he won’t finish his career with Green Bay so once that voice starts talking(which it has) it can easily be used when things don’t go as planned.

You don’t trade up in the 1st round to draft a QB to keep him on the bench for 4 years. Super Bowl Wins are the only thing that justify this. Just about any other result will force the hand. Its too bad because I really believe with a refreshed receiving Corp along with other moves made this offense would have a chance to explode.

Rodgers second contract was modest for that same reason.

Love has the athleticism and arm strength to play for a really long time. So few quarterbacks get the time Rodgers got to learn the NFL. Will be interesting to see Love's career unfold.

It works the other way too like when they drafted Josh Jackson with the 45th pick and everyone was “WOW!!!!, What Amazing Value in the Second Round!!!”

Turned out to be he is a mid-round talented player at best.

That is the other thing here. Love's physical profile and style of play seems more Favre/Rodger than Garrapolo or Lamar Jackson. I haven't read much about what kind of offense he ran as a sophomore with the coach who left.

So its not necessarily that Love would be LaFleur's first choice in QB for an offense. A new QB isn't going to help his long term prospects unless it works out.

What do gorapolo and Lamar Jackson have to do with lafleur?

That's a helluva lot better than a lot of shit that has been spewed, but if Rodgers is still very near the top of his game at that time, I'd prefer keeping him and getting what we can for Love - hopefully something worthwhile if we have developed and showcased him well in that four or so years.

How about this: the Packers do the unthinkable - re-sign Rodgers for several more years, but give Love an adequate second contract, not letting the first round pick and years of development go to waste. What would the sacrifice required be? One mid level contract at some other position that we maybe couldn't afford. I'd certainly consider that.

[RashanGary]

Brees after 40 doesn't do.much for me. Manning, Favre Brady either. I'm fine letting AR go at 40 years old even if he has two more good ones in him.
