Things weren't that much different in 2008, when the Packers decided to move on from a FHOF QB, Brett Farve and go with a pretty much unproven Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers had been sitting on the bench for most of the previous 3 seasons. Here are AR's first 3 year stats and Love's stats (to date).
I agree with you, but I am only basing it on what the 49'ers and some other teams did last year. I honestly don't know what all the other teams scenarios look like for 2023. Do they have cap space for an Aaron Rodgers or Carr like signing? Are they losing other valuable pieces from 2022? I look at the Rams as a team that was powerful in 2021, but in 2022, even when Stafford was healthy, they had regressed and then when they lost Stafford and a few other players, they weren't very good at all. Hell, the Packers lost Davante, Rodgers got banged up and they were lucky to finish 8-9.
I would too, but from what I remember they have no draft capital to trade
I'm not sure on teams cap situations, but there are some out there. Yes, the Jets are one of them. I'd say the Falcons, Texans, Colts, Raiders, Patriots, Saints, 49ers, Bucs, Titans, and Commanders could all use upgrades. Those that would be a QB away might be the Bucs, Raiders, maybe the Patriots. Possibly the Colts. Jets do make the most sense.
Yeah, I tried a couple of times to link it, will try again. The one you posted appears to be it.
Yes. When you watch Loves progression, there’s no denying he looks much more comfortable as of late. It was 37-23 Eagles, but after the Watson TD, it was a 7 point contest. Had our Defense not given up a 3 point FG on the ensuing drive??
Agree and I think the FO agrees, but probably like most of us, wish that he could have played during the Covid no preseason year and had seen more real snaps along the way. It is what it is, they will be making his 5th year option decision, with no more information than they had after that Eagle game. If #12 wants to stay and they say "no", that leads me to believe, that they have a lot of confidence in Jordan and/or a combination of that and just being ready to jump off the Rodgers carnival carousel.
That’s true.
Isn’t “ifs” technically 3 digits? These are examples of the lack of attention to detail that cost The Packers a Super Bowl!
I agree. The Jets are a team moving in the right direction, especially on the defensive side. But they're not ready yet to challenge the top teams in the league. They need a much better O-line, a couple more offensive playmakers, and of course a competent QB.
I honestly don't think they will have to give up all that much for Rodgers. Depending on how this all plays out, the Packers might end up with a guy that very few teams, if any, will be willing to pay much for him. As @tynimiller has suggested several times, the Packers might have to take mostly conditional picks contingent on Rodgers being around past the 2023 season.
*this*. Exactly.
Honestly, if it wasn't for Love, who I definitely want to see play, I would be all over trading Rodgers and signing Carr. The Raiders have been a train wreck for years, I think that the team that signs Carr is going to be very surprised at how good he actually can be.
That's the thing. The best they could offer this year is a 3rd. IMO the only way this helps us if if we also
I hope so too and I hope there are 5 or 6 more teams in the bidding war. However, I understand if there are very few teams wanting to trade for him. Vegas currently has the 7th pick of the draft, they can probably trade less than what it would take to get Rodgers and pick one of the top 2 QB's in the draft. They might even be able to stay pat and get one of the 4 QB's. If I was a GM, I would be super hesitant to trade much for Rodgers, unless most of the picks were conditional on him playing beyond 2023.
Fully agree. The Raiders may not even be willing to give up that 7th. As I said in another post, that is a position where they can probably snag one of the top 4 QB's or move up to get their 1st or second choice.
