[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 878885, member: 10086"] Yes. It’s certainly a cost vs. benefit. I’m a bit of a broken record on the benefit of having a reliable #2 QB, in particular when you have a #1 who is aging or has a track record of injury (Rodgers now qualifies at both). Also in a system that is more balanced in running the ball and doesn’t solely rely on its passing game to succeed. I see it as a Risk/Reward thing and naturally many fans like myself would’ve rather seen his draft timing meet our needs a little better. I thought 2022 was the ideal year after Rodgers latest extension because, as you pointed out in other threads, his contract monetarily eluded to Rodgers not going anywhere anytime soon. That fits with a high ceiling, 3 year starter who needs time to develop. He’s the QB version of OLB Rashan Gary. Also we need to recognize that not every draft will the Packers organization have an opportunity to hand pick a QB who fits their system within several selections of our original, 11th hour draft placement. Even if Love is in the shadows for a couple years on a guaranteed salary, imagine what we can do with say.. $14-$30 mil savings (or whatever in 2022-23) at the QB position if he’s to be perform at 90-95% of Aaron Rodgers twilight years level. Plus any trade benefit of Aaron’s last contractual seasons. There is no better incentive like competition for your job. The worst thing that can happen is we pay him $3mil annual as a backup QB and Aaron re-peaks at MVP caliber, which while unlikely, wouldn’t hurt my feelings. [/QUOTE]
