And unfortunately we did just enough at the end of the year to put us in a position that he didn't get to start any meaningful games.  To be honest it was the worst possible outcome to win just enough to not be able to play him.  Couldn't have scripted it any better if you were thinking of screwing management over.

Maybe he won't be that great, (although I'm pretty sure he will be,) but lets maximize his chances while he's starting out. Besides, he looked way better against the Eagles than he did v the Chiefs. The extra time seems to have helped him. Not to jinx of course.

Also, many people and myself included (an I believe it is in a post somewhere ) was prepared for Love and if he struggled so be it, he would have had new receivers and 1st year starting. I mean would he have done much worse than what Rodgers did? I am willing to bet he would have had atleast one game where he threw for 300 yards lol.  Our expectations would have been low and if we ended up with a 8-9 record we would have been happy with it. To be honest I can see us actually making the playoffs if he would have started all year. I am guessing he wouldn't have thrown 3 redzone ints in Detroit, or call out his main guys on offense to become a cancer.  Just my opinion but, I think the rest of the team knows Rodgers will not be a Packer next year.

What they can do. At the same time, get a feel for the NFL and what the NFL is all about and how detail-oriented you have to be and how the little things make such a huge difference. There’s a lot of little things going on. When you have a great player, they can make up for some of those little things, but when you have a bunch of young guys trying to figure it out together, it doesn’t look nearly as clean. And little things start stacking up and they cost you wins. So they’ve been in a lot of close games, but I would venture to say they haven’t really put a whole game together, a full 60 minutes to show themselves what they're capable of. It’s just been moments here and moments there.

With Jordan Love, he’s playing alright. At times, he plays good. His decision-making for the most part is pretty good. I think the biggest thing with him is it’s all about timing and feet and playing ready. Too often I see him in the pocket where — something’s coming open or he needs to be making a throw — and he’s not quite ready to make the throw. He’s bouncing in the pocket or he’s slow with his feet. That sense of urgency without playing fast. I always use the term “win with your feet.” And so you always want to try to be ready before you have to be ready. Now you don’t want to be ready too early, then that speeds you up the other way. But it’s being able to tie your feet to the route and making sure that you’re ready to take a hit when you need to throw it and that you’re playing in that ready position. And so I think by not doing that — some of the footwork stuff — the ball will hang on him. It doesn’t have the firmness that you need at times and that stuff can really hurt.

But again, there’s stuff across the board. Sometimes it’s scheme, and that’s kind of my point last week with the tweet. The scheme didn’t scheme a lot of guys open. There weren’t a lot of big plays to be had. Some of those deficiencies that you see with him right now — some things that he needs to clean up — show up.
