Where Is the Love in Green Bay?

Interesting. No one thinks about what Love might be thinking. If you sit me behind Rodgers for all 5 years and then want to sign me after not allowing me to prosper and get a big deal earlier I might not be inclined to let you off very easy. I might be inclined to demand a ludicrous contract and if you refused it, I would hit the FA market.

Why would he want to be here? They will move him because

Why would he want to be here? They will move him because it’s rude as fuck to the player. Players want to play. Even if he is worth more behind Rodgers (he’s not) it is a really bad idea to not let a player start their career. Players want to play and have a chance to earn their money and build their legacy. He isn’t a late round pick career back-up type guy. He probably won’t be a good starter but he deserves the chance to try and figure that out.We

Unless they can get a top 50 pick, they’ll keep him for a year as a solid backup, hope he plays well in the preseason and then look to trade him next year.

It's all going to work out. They aren't winning anything post Rodgers anyway. They are gonna need to rebuild and that's fine. I am 100% on board with #TeamTradeLove and get a player now so you have a contributor for two of the three years if you're lucky. The goal is to a super bowl within the next three years and ignore the future IMHO. I'm 100% on board with that.

Spoken like a true millennial. I know a lot of people my age who had to party when they were young and now cry all the way to work everyday. In the meantime I take ski vacations so APB can call me racist!

Ha you and I are in the same boat. Team investment in your twenties.

BUT IMO if you can get a three this year or a two next year, those are worth the same value in today's value. I would rather roll the dice with the pick now and hope to get a contributor that helps with the three year clock that started last week. Assuming it takes a year to ramp up, that gives them a contributor for two years if they pick the right dude. If they trade next year with a ramp up, they get one year with the contributor to win a super bowl. I'd rather get the player this year all things equal.

The cap is gonna be fine though. Really it is. They have experts that do this. Every team that has a decent QB is in the same boat. It will work out. I am not worried about it. Draft well and they'll be fine. They will obviously lose some guys eventually but that is just part of 30 years of sustained success. They will suck for a year like they did when they transitioned to Rodgers than they'll get right back after it and do great if they have the right QB post-Rodgers.

They won't exercise the option on Love unless he really shows something between now and September. You don't pay a backup that guaranteed money. Once his contract ends he'll look elsewhere and sign with some QB needy team for a chance to compete to start, and GB will get a comp pick and keep looking for life at QB after Rodgers.

Agree with others that if you trade him away you have both a cap hit and a gap in your depth chart to fill, unless you think Benkert or random guy off the street is better. I'd rather have Jordan Love than Mike Glennon as the backup.
They just traded Adams and have the comp picks; it's not like they don't have any picks. Also, this draft class is not considered good for QBs.
