[QUOTE="Deleted member 6794, post: 1000177"] With Lazard and Cobb gone opponents will put their best cornerbacks on Watson and Doubs as well. That might make it tougher for them to improve on their numbers from last season. We have no idea if Love ends up working out at this point. Therefore I consider the suggestion the Packers could have just drafted another quarterback to be legit. If Jordan ends up being a success I agree that argument to be moot though. The poster was obviously talking that it would have been an option to select a quarterback early if the Packers didn't draft Love back in 2020. It's interesting to take a look at quarterbacks selected outside of the top 10 picks since 2010 before Love was selected and see how that worked out. Here's the list: 2010 - Tim Tebow (25) 2011 - Christian Ponder (12) 2012 - Brandon Weeden (22) 2013 - EJ Manuel (16) 2014 - Johnny Manziel (22), Teddy Bridgewater (32) 2016 - Paxton Lynch (26) 2017 - Deshaun Watson (12) 2018 - Lamar Jackson (32) 2019 - Dwayne Haskins (15) Only two out of those 10 players ended up being a success. Therefore the Packers weren't actually playing the odds when drafting Love. It's true that it's extremely difficult to find a franchise quarterback even by using a first rounder on the position. Therefore it's not smart to select one that early coming off making it to the NFCCG while having a HOFer at the position who was adamant about wanting to play into his 40s with your team at that point. I would have been fine with waiting until Rodgers was gone to select a QB early in the draft. Actually the percentage of snaps Rodgers lined up under center didn't change a whole lot over the four seasons since MLF took over. 2019 23.85% 2020 26.54% 2021 24.54% 2022 21.41% I guess the number mainly dropped last season because of him having suffered a broken thumb. I haven't seen anyone being down on Love at this point. Actually that would be foolish. I'm not ready to announce him a success either though. [/QUOTE]
