And this is a ******** post. This draft is stacked with WRs and there are 6 rounds to go.
What are you smoking? Love threw 17 picks last year. He doesn't see the field and tucks and runs just like Deshon Kizer. Do you really think the Packers can fix glaring holes at WR, TE, ILB, DL and OT with the 62 and 94 picks? Gute has really sent a huge nessage to the team. Its a big FU to 2020 and 2021.

Love is not a bad player... he could be a star, but my disappointment is that we were one game away from the Super Bowl and had some glaring holes that we could have picked someone that would have started to fill those holes.

Queen at ILB
Blacklock at DT
Josh Jones at OT
Mims at WR

Any of those would have made this team have a better chance at getting to the SB than Love does.

I guarantee you whatever rookie WRs we draft will not help us get to the SB next year because Rodgers will not throw to them enough to matter. Watch and see. The only WR he doesn't have trust issues with is Adams and I don't see that changing. And that's on him, BTW.

I don't think Rodgers has 4 years left in him. He is quickly approaching the same cliff that Peyton fell off when he was 39.
Manning had a neck injury that caused a loss of arm strength. That hasn't happened with AR. The problem with AR is that he doesn't have a front office that will get him enough weapons and has wasted his career.

We want to win.that's why we are pissed. Wasting a pick on another Deshon Kizer when you have glaring holes on the roster just shows most of us fans want to win more than Gute. The more pertinent question is why do some fans always support the decisions of the front office no matter what. You have to go back to the John Hadl trade to find a worse decision.
LOL, are you serious with this? They guy that brought in Smith, Smith, Amos and drafted Savage and Jenkins, has dedicated his adult life to the game off football and made it his career wants to win less than you sitting at home probably with too many beverages in your belly? quit relying on the hardwork of others to bring you happiness in your life, or not. Because when you come to conclusions like this, you're completely unbalanced and it shows. Don't like the pick it's fine, but at least come up with a valid reason, not that BS about ego's and wanting to win. that's ********.

The other receivers were the worst in the league. That's why Rodgers did not throw to them. Maybe try improving that? If you get a franchise QB, you should try to elevate him and give him everyone he needs in order to succeed, and all we did was milk an all time great player for years . Terrible look for the organization.

The problem with AR is that his accuracy has eroded and his movement skills are much less than they were. As a result, his confidence, poise, and overall leadership have suffered and it shows.

So the answer is a guy who struggled with accuracy at Utah State? Brilliant. Love completed 62% of his passes and threw 20 TDs to 17 INT. any critique of his team and new coaching staff can be applied to Rodgers...

I think common ground between our thinking is that this signals that they're planning for Rodgers to be done in GB in 3 or 4 years and not play into his 40's as he's expressed a desire to. Would you agree with that? I guess from there it's just a perspective thing. The Love pick itself is a pick for the future for sure, but given that I think it signals we are committing to a window of just a few years more with Rodgers, I think it signals the start of a win now period. We know we have 3 or 4 years with Rodgers left and we're moving on, so what do we do with it now? It may very well end up being that they just decide to roll with what we have for a few years until Love takes over, but mannnnn that would be depressing.

The Packers wouldn't have needed to spend a first round pick on a quarterback for everybody to know that the championship window for Rodgers is closing fast. That doesn't change the fact that drafting Love was a move for the future down the road and not to win now.

I guarantee you whatever rookie WRs we draft will not help us get to the SB next year because Rodgers will not throw to them enough to matter. Watch and see. The only WR he doesn't have trust issues with is Adams and I don't see that changing. And that's on him, BTW.

It would be awesome if fans would finally stop with that BS. How do you explain Rodgers targeting Lazard 52 times over the last 11 games of 2019 if that were true???

That’s what people said when Rodgers was drafted and when Wolf traded a first round pick for Favre

True, but you have to admit that it's highly unrealistic to expect Love to work out like Favre and Rodgers did.

I can't wait until this post ages as poorly as you mistakenly think Rodgers has. :)

But it was all his WRs fault! He is the greatest QB ever!!!!!!! If he just had better WRs, he would have had 120 TDs!!!

Once again, Rodgers deserves part of the blame for the passing game struggling in 2019 but there's absolutely no doubt in my mind that a lack of talent on the receiving corps was the main reason for it.

I really hope he comes back. But the honest perception is, he isn't playing nearly as well as he has played in the past.

Believe me, I thought he was amazing in his prime. Quick release, accurate, amazing pocket awareness, and he would zip that ball before the DB knew it was coming and before his WR made his break. It was uncanny. He just can't do that anymore. He doesn't do that with Adam's, so don't blame the WRs. There is more to it than talent at WR.

I'm sorry, but it's ridicuous to suggest that Rodgers hasn't been elite when targeting Adams.

oh, I think he can still do it. He's not immune to all the things that plague a new offense and trying to run it with some less than stellar talent. He might not be 2010-2014 Rodgers, but he's still pretty dang good and can do it.

Oh I was fine with the pick, but I expected them to go with Watts.
I didn't like the pick at the time wasn't impressed with King and didn't like the fact he he recurring shoulder injuries we already had a lot of players on the roster that were constantly injured and I was hoping for a contributor that would play all 16 games.

Planning to have Rodgers as your QB for 3 more years rather than 5 or 6 is a very big difference.

How many first round picks is Gute gonna waste?
true but he is playing for a mediocre team,the Packers do not have the personnel to compete with the elite teams in the NFL,
they wasted another first round pick this year for a QB that threw nearly as many picks as he did TD's.

This is true. Of course it's not all on him, but no quarterback at age 36 is quite as good as they were in their prime. That being said, it doesn't mean he still isn't a damn fine quarterback, and the focus shouldn't be on drafting a project, and using additional draft capital to do it. The focus should be on trying to win a Super Bowl. This does nothing for the team's ability to win in the next three years.

And this is nothing like 2005. Nothing at all. You aren't insinuating that. But many are. It's just not the same.

Even Lazard, who was plucked off a practice squad, actually performed quite well and was undoubtedly elevated like Rodgers has done in the past. MVS and Allison were bottom 10 players in the league per many analytical measures and not worthy of roster spots at this point.

Yet some are persistent that Rodgers had adequate offensive support. Ha.

Besides the fact I just hate this pick period every good thing that came out of last season got pretty much erased by this pick.
Questions about Rodgers, Gute what Lafleur thinks and on and on are going to be getting asked in the media for the next several years who knows how that could effect the locker room.


Not only that but I don't even have the consolation of picking him in the Amish mafia draft contest!

It would be unrealistic to expect Rodgers to play the same way as several years ago. That doesn't change the fact that he's still capable of performing at an elite level if he has enough weapons to throw to.

True, but a win now mode is chartacterized by making moves for the upcoming season and not three years down the road.
