Whenever there’s a dropped pass, a missed block, a whiffed arm tackle, shots are fired. It’s reflexive at this point.

How could Brian Gutekunst and Matt LaFleur do this?

How could you fail to give your quarterback weapons?

Why are you wasting Aaron Rodgers!

There is screaming. Tears. It’s been this way since April 23.

Nobody could follow the Green Bay Packers’ logic that night. Nobody could figure out why the two men in charge drafted two players at the team’s two greatest positions of strength — quarterback Jordan Love 26th overall and running back AJ Dillon 62nd overall. Rodgers admitted himself he poured four fingers of tequila after finding out Green Bay had drafted his eventual replacement. Locals reacted as if Wisconsin was suddenly declared a dry state. All in sports media universally lampooned the front office for the gall, the unforgivable nerve to do anything their Hall-of-Fame quarterback would not approve of.

Neither rookie, predictably, has provided an immediate boost so nobody, predictably, can make sense of the franchise’s vision any time this offense temporarily buffers, an offense that ranks fourth overall in yards (392.9 per game), first in points (31.7) and third in fewest turnovers (nine). Love won’t be running routes in the slot. Dillon won’t be asked to plug the “B” gap. The closer these Packers inch toward January, the more anxious everyone will likely get.

Yet here’s a thought: This could be brilliant. This should become the blueprint for all NFL franchises.

I think the reason Aaron pour himself some fine sipping tequila is he knew at that moment he wouldn’t be retiring a packer. But I also think he decided he wouldn’t give gutey an out on the decision to replace him. Love is gutey’s legacy sink or swim. Love could make it 50 years of stellar qb play for the packers or he might last one snap.

Having never ever even spoken with Gutekunst or LaFleur or Rodgers or any other Packer employee, this hypothesis is based upon fragmented (at best) and unverified stories.

I think the approach to the article conflates issues. Yes there was the QB choice at #1 which didn't help in the near term.

But more so, I think the lack of acquisition of weapons in either subsequent rounds or free agency is what would have gotten under 12s craw.

There was a lot of truth in that article. As far as how so many teams never drafted a QB for the future. We have been SO lucky to have 30 years of great QB play.
Will Love be a third straight great QB? Only time will tell.
There have been so many “can’t miss” QBs that did miss.
The fact that Love didn’t have to be thrown into the fire right away, to me is a big plus. He has time to learn, like Rodgers did when he got here.
