[QUOTE="Deleted member 6794, post: 909268"] First of all I believe the talk about Love motivating Rodgers to perform at an MVP level is a whole load of BS by fans trying to justify selecting him in the first place. In addition I'm quite sure the front office was aware Love wasn't going to play during his rookie season, that's why they shouldn't have drafted him. It's possible, albeit unlikely, that he ends up being the next great quarterback in line to start for the Packers. But with the team coming off making the NFCCG the front office should have tried to fully take advantage of the one already on the roster. It's true that not every draft pick works put as planned. Once again, the Packers didn't find themselves in a situation in which it was smart to use their first rounder on a player who was guaranteed to not have an immediate impact. I didn't like the selection of Gary at first either as the Packers had just spent a significant of money to sign the Smiths but at least he was supposed to receive some playing time from the get-go. Gutekunst has drafted for immediate need as well. It worked out great with Alexander, Savage and Jenkins. There was no reason to change his approach last year. Gutekunst better was sure Love was a prospect too good to pass up. It would have been a terrible mistake to trade up for him just for the sake of drafting a quarterback as it might take several tries to get it right. That's why the Packers should take advantage of having a HOF QB as long as they can. It didn't make them any better though either. [/QUOTE]
