[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 878784"] Yeah, that's the chattering class at work. So how was this "heads up" supposed to work exactly? "We plan on drafting Love." Then what if you can't? You should presume it was a conditional trade not excuted until as late as #25 came off the board. After that, everybody's pretty busy for a couple more days with the die already cast. Rodgers didn't need a heads up to know what might be coming. Gutekunst had brought in high level QB prospects for on-site interviews (or the virtual equivalent) for two years running, even inviting one more who turned him down, and then amped up the the Wolf/Thompson business about how you cannot have enough good QBs. :rolleyes: We know you can in fact have too many depending on what you spend to get them. :sleep: I can think of two Super Bowl winning head coaches, Holmgren and Parcells, who left their winning organizations because they wanted GM authority. As Parcells famously put it, "If I'm going to be asked to cook the meal, I'd like to be able to pick the groceries." These guys won the big game while being locked out of the supermarket. And they were head coaches, not just the QB. What is the worry here? That Rodgers is a delicate flower whose sensibilities should be attended to? C'mon. Sometimes the boss asks for your input.
