I would happily take the job to ruin their chances of ever winning the NFC Nort again.
That’s just plain funny there.
The selection of Love didn't close the championship window but definitely didn't improve the chances either. On the other side there are way too many fans implying that the Packers drafting him automatically opened it for another 15 years.
We’ll if that’s the case, Rodgers wouldn’t be here anyway. He’s gone after 5 tops. Most teams draft a QB a year or two earlier, so we’re basically full circle in 3* seasons making the same move.
Rodgers is blinded by his friendship with Nelson. Jordy Nelson gave up on the Packers in 2017 and was running out of steam. Even with a veteran minimum contract, he was not the kind of player that should have been on the roster.
The thing that doesn’t equate with that is we all know Jordy would be slightly better with Aaron slinging the ball than Oakland. So if that’s the case Jordy would’ve finished 700-900 yards range. That pretty significant production
Then we could argue that we are holding back our young talent by resigning Jordy. But we never really went out and signed a direct replacement.
The last part I’ll leave with is this. We could’ve done a better job phasing guys like Jordy or Cobb out. At least make them a reasonable offer or choose your battles verses emptying Aaron’s Arsenal and not replenishing.
While i don’t agree with Aaron playing martyr role and allowing controversy to reign supreme, he is correct about the matter of Jordy, Cobb and timing on others, including his coaches that were close to him. We pretended like we didn’t know these guys after they played/coached their hearts out and lived in GB. It might’ve just been “business” but it was not good business, there’s a difference. Gute played this like a Ninentendo video game and these are people and they were close to our Star QB, just give him a nod once every so often. We know now it will probably cost us 3-5 seasons of a HOF QB.
I’m not necessarily taking sides, just pointing my observations is all it’s not my gig. Aaron then compounded the friction the FO initiated by doubling down on insensitive. Now it’s frustrating for everyone down the line. I guess you could say whatever the FO did didn’t work. If this is the best we see from this chain of command thing? We’ve failed our organization. That’s my survey.
