I realize that Gute and MLF, even though both of them are relatively young, have already forgotten more than I will ever know. Love may well be the franchise QB of the future. I know I have to accept this. However, right or wrong, when I hear others compare him to Cutler and Trubisky, I get a little concerned. Only time will tell.

It makes me chuckle when I read posts that say drafting Love is drafting for the future. As if drafting a WR, OT LB or any other player is not ALSO drafting for the future. It just happens that in doing so they are also drafting for the short term as well. Drafting the BPA at a position of need gives the team more value out of the player's rookie contract. Hopefully anyway. The only time I want to see Love on the field in 2020 and 2021 is moping up in a runaway win.

There is no doubt that GB is in need of a quality backup QB. Even with limited preseason practices Love should still be able to fill that need.

There have been a lot of posts in this section and rightfully so, I can't remember who mentioned Aaron only having 3 years left on his contract. He has 4 years. He is under contract through the 2023 season.

It's true that Rodgers has four years remaining on his contract, but after three years, the Packers can move on from him without taking a massive cap hit (I think the number is $2.8 million at that point). That would leave Green Bay with two years to evaluate what they have in Love, assuming they exercise the fifth-year option.

True the cap hit would be greatly reduced in year 4 but that had not been stated previously. At least I didn't see it.
Also I have not said it here but I have said so for years that I think QBs need a 3 year apprenticeships.

This tweet is rather cryptic, but it provides some interesting food for thought:

Anyone have some explanations for what might have been going on behind the scenes here?

Andrew Brandt weighs in and seems pretty positive about the pick:

John Kuhn has some good things to say too:

And anonymous rando on the internet is feeling pretty good about Love too:

That being said, Aaron Rodgers fan isn't feeling so great right now:

Tape guru Ben Fennell had high words of praise for Love back in February, but he wasn't terribly high on the pick last night.

He struck a chord with other fans who feel that the Packers should be going all-in on Rodgers instead of planning for the future.

And then there's this asshole, who's just pulling shit out of his ass.

Yeah, I guess Aaron should’ve played DLine or MLB in that game and stopped the run. That loss is almost 100% on the shitty defensive play.

Now add in statistics for our side.

Kansas City didn't do much different than we did, aside from their star QB not turning the ball over three times.

I keep seeing “Rodgers didn’t buy into the offense”. What proof of that being the case is there? Could it be he didn’t have the weapons to properly execute the offense?
Will this pick “light a fire” under Rodgers?
My personal opinion is that Rodgers will be more open to teach Love then he got from Favre.

beast (3h) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?
beast (3h) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach
Zero2Cool (12h) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one
Zero2Cool (12h) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.
dfosterf (15h) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season
Zero2Cool (16h) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job
dfosterf (16h) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁
Zero2Cool (17h) : Thank you
wpr (17h) : Z, glad you are feeling better.
wpr (17h) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.
Zero2Cool (17h) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.
wpr (17h) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.
dfosterf (17h) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.
Zero2Cool (17h) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.
Zero2Cool (17h) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.
Martha Careful (18h) : just kidding...it was down
Martha Careful (18h) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor
dfosterf (18h) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious
beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere
beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.
beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?
Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.
beast (21-Jan) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...
beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered
wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.
wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.
wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.
Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?
Martha Careful (21-Jan) : A great game. Give ND credit for coming back, although I am please with the outcome.

beast (21-Jan) : Oh yeah, Georgia starting quarterback season ending elbow injury
beast (21-Jan) : Sadly something happened to Georgia... they should be playing in this game against Ohio State
beast (21-Jan) : I thought Ohio State and Texas were both better than Notre Dame & Penn State
Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame getting rolled
Martha Careful (21-Jan) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond
Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame vs the Luckeyes, bleh
Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Oh snap!!!
Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Even Stevie Wonder can see that.
Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Nah, you see Lions OC leaving to be HC of Bears is directly related to Packers.
Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ohhhhhhh Zero is in TROUBLE
packerfanoutwest (21-Jan) : Zero, per your orders, check Bearshome, not packershome
