Oh boy. This will never happen barring injury.

He actually makes some good points. He says Packers should start Jordan Love if they lose to Cowboys. Reason is to put Jordan Love on show. If he sucks, top 10 pick to draft next QB. If he is good, you trade him for young cheap talent to help Rodgers. And says Rodgers can look like the good guy, good teammate by saying it's best for them to see what Love can do while saving his body from hits. 

That makes sense. I mean, if he busts an ACL, crap right?

Could we have gotten less than 3 INTs against the Lions with Love? 

Love is close to ready, not necessarily straight up ready. But all he has to do is hit the open guy.

Bear in mind. All we'd have had to do it take the FGs in these games and we would be 5-4 right now. 

Will Love permit Matt to adhere to fundamentals?

I like everything except why the hell would you trade Love if he performs well?  If he proves he is the better QB, he should start.  It sucks to bench a 50 million investment but that is the consequence of what is looking more and more like a terrible contract.

Just bench Rodgers and be done with it!
He's washed up!
I'm getting to the point where I don't even want to watch the Packers games with him behind center..

So, trade Love for cheap talent, draft another QB and freaking hope for the damn best. That's what I got from his rambling, which I don't disagree with and almost actually agree with the premise.

Yup, the actions of  drafting Love and extending Rodgers are a contradiction. Pack either messed up with the former or the latter.  The question is how best to salvage the screwup.  The more I think about it, the more it speaks to why they probably won't play Love at all.  My guess is that Murphy and Gute care more about looking bad then what benefits the team. Might as well keep Rodgers out there.  Or maybe you put in Love and just run vanilla for the draft pick and ruin Love's career but I don't want to speculate too far.

After seeing Jordan Love in practice through 2020 and 2021 and extending Aaron Rodgers to that massive contract? 😬 That says they don't believe Love is there yet, or they believe Love will just be happy backing up Rodgers throughout his rookie contract. 

Based on what Gutekunst has done, I really don't think he gives a damn about looking bad. If he did care, the Packers wouldn't have released a 4th round pick after just one season.

I'll walk that back a little and say I do agree with you though that barring some cleverly worded story, they won't bench Rodgers in favor of Love due to the optics.
