[QUOTE="Deleted member 6794, post: 988883"] As I have mentioned repeatedly I think it would have set a terrible precedence benching Rodgers with the Packers still having a chance at making the playoffs. While it's true the chances were slim after they dropped to 4-8 there was actually a decent chance of it happening if the team won their remaining five games. And actually that's what would have happened if they ended up beating the Lions. I'm quite sure the locker room would have had a huge issue with waiving the white flag with five weeks to go to realize they could have made it by winning out. I don't care if any of you actually use the phrase tanking for that approach as that's exactly what it would have been. Taking it to the extreme why not suggest it would have been better to play for draft position in every season over the past 12 years as the team fell short of expectations every single time. Don't get me wrong, if the Packers were eliminated from the playoffs I would have been in favor of playing Love the rest of the season but there wasn't any reason to start him with that not happening. Even with Rodgers not being fully healthy there's no doubt at all that he gave the Packers a better chance of winning than Love this season. Regarding picking up Love's fifth year option, I don't think that's gonna happen if Rodgers returns for next season. While I fully understand the third overall pick is more valuable than the 15th it doesn't mean the pick will automatically end up working out better though. Therefore I don't agree that ending up with a worse record but better draft position is a better outcome, especially if the team tanked to get there. As a side note, the Packers went 3-3 in the regular season against NFC opponents that ended up making the playoffs, losing two of those games by a single score. While they weren't an especially good team this year they could have ended up making some noise in the postseason by playing up to their potential. Off topic, if I was a Texans fan I wouldn't mind them having won the last game as it's probable the Bears won't be in the market for a quarterback anyway. [/QUOTE]
