Not so much this season. And his meltdown a month ago was also the absolute most childish thing I've ever seen. Literally wanting to assault an official for making a correct call and then being dumb enough to double down on it 30 minutes later from the podium. Either way, I'm done arguing over this silliness. There's a game in 5 days.
Backtiari does not even count. And the ones playing now are our starters. Though some have reservations about center and R guard; there is no one better on the bench right now. The backups we have now don't cut it for the future. imo
One big plus for the Packers this past season was the health of the OL. As you mention, they lost Bakhtiari, but that was right out of the gate. Other than that, there were only a few missed games by Jenkins, while the rest of the OL stayed pretty healthy. I don't remember a season when the Packers were that healthy on the OL. This had to have helped Jordan and the offense quite a bit.
My thoughts at Safety are conflicted. I’m not a big fan of Savage. However we could offer him a more modest $ deal to keep a veteran presence and he accepted I’d be ok. I’d also consider going outside FA similar to the Amos deal. Those ideas would push the need for another Safety down to RD3-4. Right now I truly believe if we drafted Nubin towards the top of the draft and kept Ford and kept Owens and Johnson as backups? We’d be fine.
Brady flipped out plenty if times to. It's an emotional game. Hate to break it to you but there will be a time Love does to.
I think this stuff creeps in after 5-6 years of being the starter and leader. "My guys" I grew with have been replaced and the new guys "just don't get it" quick enough.
I will say one thing about Love and this is a backhanded compliment to Rodgers as well. He watched Rodgers play for 3 years, he probably got a good idea of what being angry and not being angry was all about. Rodgers for the most part played under control, but when he did stare down a teammate or threw a tablet on the sideline, Love was there to watch and gauge how it impacted other teammates, as well as Packer fans and the media.
Childishness?
I could see Love throwing a tablet, but I think if he does, it will be a calculated decision. If you do it all the time, your teammates roll their eyes and say, "Welp, there he goes again." If it's a rare occurrence, the response is more likely to be, "Oh, ****, somebody ****** up. Better get it in gear."
Glad to see you are finally thinking about getting on the Love Train.
So now AR was a prima donna for 20 years?
Where did I say that?
I like your avatar. lol
lol.
I think a Packer fan with green and gold tinted glasses on, tends to overvalue Packer players. Now I do agree that if Love continues to progress and plays consistently at the level of a Mahomes, Gute will have grabbed the 3rd FHOF QB in a row, that most other teams passed on. Love is 3 years younger and currently being paid a ton less than Mahomes.
They may not get to All Pro status but they did surprise a lot of people. When you look at the Packers Injured list week to week it gave our bench and PS a lot of experience. We could not have won 9 games without their performance. And really they can only get better.
** Kevin King enters the chat. ** or if you prefer
He did. But they had high expectations for him. There really was not any YOUNG player on our roster including PS at the start of this season that we expected to light up the world. And that includes Love.
Imagine the response Gute would get if he called up Brett Veach and said “Let’s make a deal. Mahomes for Love, straight up. You already know Mahomes’ ceiling and for all you know Love could end up being better than that. Plus Mahomes yelled at a ref once….AND Love costs way less. We’re really doing you a favor here when you think about it. Wouldn’t you like someone who could possibly end up being being as good or better at some point?”
