Message: <blockquote data-quote="Deleted member 6794" data-source="post: 1001027">The Packers were in a win now mode coming off making it to the NFCCG the previous season in 2020. It didn't make any sense to spend their most precious asset that offseason on a player who won't have any immediate impact. The situation was completely different in 2005 with the Packers being in a rebuild mode it made sense to focus on the future.As a side note, while I wasn't around on the forum in 2005 Thompson took a lot of heat from fans for drafting Rodgers.Agreed, Pittman hasn't been an elite receiver but definitely good enough that he would have been the #2 on the Packers as long as Adams was around. I will concede defeat if the Packers win a Super Bowl with Love. Otherwise I will continue to consider drafting him a mistake.It's truly sad that you don't understand there's a huge difference criticizing the pick compared to disparaging Love. I have definitely been vocal about not liking the selection a ton of times but as I have mentioned repeatedly I haven't discredited Love at all. I only need to defend myself because of your lame attempt at making it look like I did.Once again, none of the posts you quoted were disparaging Love at all.Ok, now other posters aren't allowed to criticize a throw by Love anymore?  <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll Eyes    :rolleyes:" data-shortname=":rolleyes:" />  Take a look at the play and tell me what you truly think about it. In my opinion it was a bad decision by him throwing a wobbler late across his body while being pressured. Cobb adjusted perfectly to it and made a superb catch on a throw that will get picked off a lot at this level.It was pretty obvious to everyone Love wasn't able to read the Chiefs defense properly that day. Once again, I'm shocked you think that shouldn't be allowed to be pointed out.Let me ask you a question. Do you honestly suggest Love performed well against the Chiefs? Let's take a look at PFF's grading for him that day (once again, I'm well aware they aren't perfect by any means but good enough for tyni to make a thread about it every single game, therefore I'm going with them on it here as well).They graded him at 30.0 for his performance against the Chiefs. That is beyond terrible. To put that into perspective, in the past two seasons only seven quarterbacks who started a game earned a worse grade in a game. That list includes such elite players like Colt McCoy, Mike Glennon, Joe Flacco, PJ Walker, Kyle Allen and David Blough.It's pretty simple, a quarterback shouldn't throw a lot of passes up for grabs. That should be pretty easy to understand. Do you disagree with that statement?That should be pretty easy to understand as well. I wanted the Packers to play Rodgers as long as he gives the team the best chance of winning even when injured. I feel pretty good about when I posted that before the Rams game in 2021 as he went on to throw 16 TDs and zero INTs over the last six games of the regular season after I made that comment.With him struggling last season with a broken thumb it would have made sense for the team to play Love ahead of him if they deemed he was ready to be a starter. Obviously the coaching staff didn't feel that way though.In addition, remember that there were reports out there that MLF would have preferred the team to keep Rodgers around for the upcoming season.</blockquote>
