Are you ALL IN, or ALL out, on da LOVE MACHINE

[Bretsky]

OK you bunch of Sharon's, time to bring out your outspoken self and take a current stand.

Are you ALL IN , or ALL OUT, on the LOVE MACHINE, at this point in 2022.

And if you are all in, are you at the point where you would keep him, watch him improve a bit more, and pick up his 5th year option ?

Or all out, cheering for him, knowing his ceiling is really at best an average NFL Quarterback, which in the NFL is what most teams try to avoid. So cheer for him, do good Love Boy, so we can trade your ass the first chance we get ?

[call_me_ishmael]

I don't see it, I'm out.

[Spaulding]

For the record, wasn't thrilled about the Love pick in the first place. Not because we took a QB but because we traded up to get him when it seemed there was a good probability that he'd have been around in the 2nd for us. However, this preseason has shown some good progression that leaves me encouraged enough to think he has as good a chance of any recently drafted QB (outside of top five drafted QB's) to be an NFL starter in this league. Does that mean he will be? Nope, but at least now I see a chance and with Rodgers playing for just this year, or 2 years, it gives the Packers a chance to transition at QB and still be competitive without a rebuild.

IN

[RashanGary]

I said out because the odds are against him. But he’s still got a chance.

[Bretsky]

This is a loaded poll; if your All in, I assume that means you would want GB to pick up his 5th year option. Not sure if that is a fair assumption but that is a consideration.

[texaspackerbacker]

Aside from the fact that I see Rodgers playing way longer than a year or two, I just don't think Love has looked like what we want for a future QB. As I have said, maybe Kirk Cousins level at best. For the present as a back up/clipboard holder, I suppose he's adequate, and for the first time this year, I don't see total oblivion if Rodgers went down. Our D and RBs give the team a chance to be fairly decent even with a mediocre QB, for part of a season anyway. As for who that back up is, of course it will be Love, but from what I've seen, I'm not sure our chances wouldn't be better with Etling at QB.

[Vincenzo]

Sharon? Where I come from which is Dublin Ireland they are fighting words.

I’m out with Love, I say this as I shake my head.

[Joemailman]

I voted all in because I think he has a good chance of being a better than average starting NFL QB. But whether or not I would want Packers to pick up 5th year option would depend on whether Rodgers is going to be here. I don't want Packers paying him 20M in 2024 to back up Rodgers.

[texaspackerbacker]

Is that what I fifth year option would cost? $20m? A hard no to that hahahaha. I was thinking a lot less, and maybe keep him as a back up, at least that's what I thought a couple weeks ago. But decent Etling or Benkert quality back ups apparently aren't that hard to find.

But if you are all in, I would assume you want GB to keep him knowing Aaron only has another year or two left.

There are so many NFL ready QB's these days.

Even if AROD retires after one year, would you really rather extend him at $19,000,0000 that year as opposed to trade him for what they can get and recommit, to perhaps, another QB in round one and start the clock over.

I'll take what I can get for Love, and if nothing else they could package the two picks to move up next year in a QB heavy draft.

All fun debate

[Joemailman]

I'm not convinced Rodgers only has 1 or 2 years left.

TEX, great idea for a poll.

Hit Create new thread, and put in a top and whatever the body you want as an explation

AT THE BOTTOM, you would check a box saying "Create New Poll". Check that, and it will take you to a screen, and you will enter the Poll Question, Number of options, and then add the options.

Give it a shot; I honestly wish we had a lot more polls in here driving some debate

Doesn't sound like you are all in on Jordan Love either. He's looke so so much better this year than last. And Tom Clements IMO gets a lot of credit.
I think he might be an average starter. Just don't want just an average starter.

Thanks. My message to you didn't show up as sent, so I wasn't sure you got it. I will try.

I tried, but when I clicked Create New Poll, no new screen came up. I'll just skip it, I guess.

[smuggler]

Given the binary choice, I'm out. But I think he'll be a decent starter. Never great, but might be good enough.
