Message: <blockquote data-quote="Deleted member 6794" data-source="post: 938705">I think what actually happened in the 2020 draft is that Gutekunst was adamant about following Thompson's path in acquiring a successor for the team's HOF quarterback and ignored the situation the Packers were in at that point was completely different than in 2005.The Packers found themselves in a rebuilding year in 2005 with a quarterback who had threatened to retire for several years. Last offseason, the team was coming off making it to the NFCCG with some pieces missing to be considered a legit contender with Rodgers mentioning on multiple occasions that he wants to play into his 40s. While at first glance the situation was similar there's not a whole lot of truth to it.I was responding to a poster suggesting the Packers didn't have any chance to select a franchise quarterback during Rodgers' tenure as the team's starter. I wasn't suggesting they should have drafted either of them but instead would have preferred for them to pass on Love as well.</blockquote>
