Great, really great post Spark.

When we drafted Love, I trucked onto YouTube and checked out his cutups for 2019.

And I wasn't very impressed.

For instance look at his ratios for 19 as opposed 18...

20 – 17 touchdown to interception ratio in 2019. His 2018 stats show a 32 – 6 touchdown to interception ratio.

2018 was a strong year, unfortunately, I couldn't get any tape on him for 18 and blew it off

This guy for Packer Report has a lot of the cutups and they show a far different story than the 19 highlights.

This kid has the stuff to be a top pro. He's got the heart of a lion and s short memory.

Let's get some guys around him and get him going.

If you had paid attention to PR during that draft, I laid this all out. Love was awesome in 2018. Then, Utah State lost 9 of their other 10 starters on offense. They were overmatched. Love still looked good at moments that season (e.g. Michigan State).

Honestly, our chances of winning a title really do not regress much switching QBs. The bottom line is that Rodgers rarely produced in the postseason over the past 10 years. I’m not saying that he was the reason for all our postseason failure, but he also wasn’t the reason for our success.

Truly great winners are responsible for postseason success. It is entirely possible that Jordan Love will prove to be a better postseason QB even if he isn’t as talented or gifted as Rodgers. Bart Starr was not supremely gifted…he was just a winner. I’d rather have a winner than the most talented guy who rarely gets it done.

That’s not what his wife said.

I'm sure you are right Harve. I've long admired your ability to scout out all these obscure ball players from Nowhere Tech, etc. The problem is me. Since 08 or so, I've given up on any advance work on the draft. I treat the draft as presents under the Christmas tree. Post draft I look at the stuff on the draftees we gathered up. Most of what I saw on Love wasn't very impressive. But as said, it was from 19. It wasn't til I saw Sparky's post re: Packer Report did I really see the Cuts from '18.

Far more impressive QB play by Love. Back shoulder routes in the end zone right on rhythm, touch passes over the middle also right on pace, long passes out side the numbers to his left. The Kid has every club in the bag. It's still a long walk to star NFL QB, but at least our boy has the tools. Now can he perform in a league game?

Don't know for sure, but I'm gaining confidence.

It's really going to be fun to watch. I'm curious as to whether or how much Love will play in the preseason now that he's The Guy.

[run pMc]

MLF said Jordan Love would play in the preseason. I'd think that means it's more like the early Rodgers days where he'd play like a quarter one game, then a half, and then nothing.

I would expect them to tackle better and the offense to execute more cleanly earlier in the season if they play some preseason.

I think not giving their starters playing time in the preseason was smart from a health standpoint, but bad from a performance standpoint. They often looked slow and overmatched in their first game or two, as though they had to adjust to game speed and working together, timing, etc. MLF probably felt they could take a mulligan in Game 1 of the season with Rodgers and a fully healthy team, with 16 more games to go. Last year must certainly have been the wake up call. An 8-9 team can't afford to give away any games.

I'll be curious to see what they do about backup QB. They don't have cap space, there's not much out there anyway, and they have to do better than Danny Etling. I'd assume they take a flier on a QB in the draft.

I'm on board.

Anyone who knows me knows I've never been a Rodgers fan. There was a reason he fell to Green Bay in the draft and he's displayed that reason for 18 years.

He's a head case, always has been. Then of course there is the fact he's never been able to throw a 5 yard out, a screen or a slant. His consistently under throwing, over throwing, dirt balls and the fact he can't hit anyone in stride. This past season he didn't have the cast to make him look good. And for as much as Favre didn't know what defenses he was playing against, Rodgers can't figure it out running the entire play clock down. When the game is on the line, we need 3 yards - Rodgers goes deep. That's not LaFleur, that's Rodgers.

Last season all he had to to was hand the ball off and let the run set up the pass but he made poor decisions in the RPO and I grew very tired of the Mike McCarthy offense still being around when he isn't.

It's been a painful 18 years for me to watch this narcissist.

As for Love, time will tell. He's got the talent, he shown he's matured from season to season. Will it be enough? I guess that depends on the rest of the team. I am a Packer fan and I watch them come hell or high water no matter who is playing on the team. That doesn't mean I can't be pissed off at certain players for thinking they are bigger than the team =).

Damn, it’s the anti-Tex!

Most of ya'all are "the anti-Tex" - just different shades of wrongheadedness. This piece of shit, Merlin, adds blindness to that wrongheadedness hahahaha.

Yea....so most of that is pure crap.
