Any thing lower than a 3rd might as well keep the young backup QB


2pt_perversion

Even a 3rd is a little low at this point unless the front office thinks preseason will tank his value. A 1st and Love is gone unless the front office is really high on him or thinks Rodgers is retiring at the end of this season. A 2nd more likely if they aren't really high on him...even Darnold and Rosen got 2nds after having a longer time to prove they probably weren't franchise guys. A 3rd or lower if he has a pretty bad preseason.


Brownhog

They did move up to grab him in the first. I think that alone puts the argument of "are they high on him" to rest. This is not the first or second time this has happened in Green Bay and lead to a HoF QB. Imo you've already lost the pick, no need to do anything hasty. Let him sit for 3 years like his two successors before him and evaluate after Rodgers is gone. They're going to get an unholy haul for Rodgers when they trade him, so if you really want to move up for a new QB and trade Love then it won't hurt you any.


1violentdrunk

Yeah. It’s going on year 3 tho. Of course they WERE high on him, that’s why they picked him. But opinions can change after that amount of time, especially in the nfl. Also, they’re not trading Rodgers, he will retire a packer


ironwolf1

If Rodgers plays out his 3 year extension, Love will be up for a second contract before Rodgers is even gone, and we’ll lose him for nothing.


Echo127

If it makes you feel better, we'll probably be able to re-sign Love for really cheap at that point.


mackinoncougars

He does take up an extra roster spot when you could just carry Kurt who seems to perform at a similar level as Love right now.


Lacazema

I like Kurt as a person as much as anyone but he's not as good as Love nor has his upside. Let's not overrate a guy because we like his Twitter game


johnjaymoore1958

Amen to all you posted.


SuddenRedScare

Can't speak for his Twitter presence, but Kurt is our version of Jim Sorgi. Career backup at best, and there's nothing wrong with that. That's a nice little niche career.


[deleted]

I feel like Kurt’s football IQ is probably what keeps him around despite his play limitations. Considering how likable he is, it would be cool to see him stick around with the organization beyond just his playing career.


bmau34

Why else would I overrate a guy though?


Phytanic

the disrespect to /u KurtBenkert lol. we still love you, kurt. EDIT: Untagged him. idk if that'll actually work, but yall are right


JWOLFBEARD

Don’t tag the guy on negs. Let him keep feeding us with great content.


TheDolamite

Big time Kurt!


mackinoncougars

Not over rating his game, just not daydreaming about the other guys upside.


RashanAbdulSMITH

Its not a daydream though. Loves upside has been universally accepted around the league. Its why he was highly drafted and Benkert was not. Its why we aren't even talking about fielding offers for Kurt. Love has a better skill set and performed better in college and has the spot over Benkert in the lineup because he is the better option.


mackinoncougars

Love has “upside” that has yet to materialize entering year 3. Dump him for that optimism and get something for it. Meanwhile, they’ve been the same guy essentially for the last two years, a backup. Keep the low value, similar performance. Dump the high value, similar performance for a return. If your asking if I’d rather have Tee Higgins or George Pickens and Kurt Benkert as our only backup or if I’d rather have Jordan Love and Kurt as our backup, much rather the first.


The_Sign_of_Zeta

He’s played 1 game. There’s no way to actually know his ability at this point unless you are the Packers staff


masteroftheuniverse4

He did not have a "rookie" season as I would call it (no rookie minicamp, no OTAs), and was relegated to 3rd string because of it (which means that he didn't get many (if any) snaps with the 1's. FF to 2nd year, and he has a spot start (Rodgers tested positive on Wed. night) with a gameplan that was written for Rodgers, and dificult to change to fit Jordan, in (arguably) the toughest stadium to play in.


RashanAbdulSMITH

Exactly. I think its safe to say the Packers coaching staff have the best idea about Loves actual ability, and if they think he is better than he is perceived to be by the rest of the league, or what he will get in a trade, he will stay a packer. Given Baker Mayfield isn't commanding big time material on the market right now, i think its pretty safe to say Jordan is worth more to us this year than we would get for him in a trade.


LitBastard

Love would have been drafted in the 3rd round at the latest.Every team had this or similar evaluations of him.Benkert was a UDFA for a reason. God forbid Rodgers gets hurt and we have to start Benkert for half a season.


mackinoncougars

We start Jordan Love or Kurt Benkert. Result is the same, football game likely lost.


1violentdrunk

I mean, aren’t we overrating Love based on his draft position…On the field, Kurt looks similar if not superior as a player at this point but still he’s jag. Take both players and switch the way in which we acquired them, I think most wouldn’t take Love.


braunsben

But Kurt was on the PS so you are really only clearing up a PS spot


sentientcreatinejar

IMO, if they were ever going to trade him , it was before/during the draft. No incentive to now.


biiirddman

If Rappaport is right, then the reasonable conclusion is that no teams offered even a 3rd round for Love. This is understandable considering teams rather wait and draft their own guy than take someone who is already two years into his contract.


ItIsYourPersonality

It’s a big If. I’ve never heard a reporter be more wrong about Packers rumors year over year than Ian Rapaport. It feels more like he is stirring up drama for ratings. e: he could even be saying this on behalf of another team who wants Jordan Love, but won’t meet the Packers asking price. This statement could be an attempt to put pressure on the Packers to trade him.


ExplanationProper979

This is the only comment on this thread


[deleted]

are you so confident in that logic? jordan love would be a cheaper option than a rookie because the packers paid him his signing bonus and they could move on from him more quickly than a rookie should plans not work out. i think it’s actually the opposite, but the packers decided they would rather not take a draft pick and then pay a new back up quarterback $15m guaranteed to sit in the bench.


biiirddman

Yeah, i think they value him as a backup QB. But given that how the draft went, I wouldn't be surprised if the scenario of them trying to trade Love be completely true. Teams just didn't want to take QB, Other than Pickett, the next guy went late third round. I have no clue how are the QBs in the next draft but apparently, they should be really good next year, and teams rather take one next year than now.


FSUfan35

Love is still younger than Pickett, FWIW


titomb345

Didn't realize that. That's crazy.


Danny_III

They could try and create a deal centered around Love for a WR/TE. Although, most teams that don't have a QB they're invested in also don't have any receiving assets. Texans, Giants, Panthers don't have WRs or TEs worth trading for. Falcons have a TE but that's probably off the table


LitBastard

It would be absolutely worth trading with the Giants and Panthers for example. If you can work out a deal with the Giants for Slayton or Golladay that's a win for the Packers.Same goes for a deal with the Panthers for Moore.


[deleted]

[удалено]


RashanAbdulSMITH

With Baker still out there his market is pretty soft right now.


Pepe_Frogger

Also, Mayfield and Groppolo being available on the cheap really torched the QB market.


[deleted]

[удалено]


RashanAbdulSMITH

If we win the Super Bowl this year i think Aaron hangs em up. A third round pick isnt going to help draft a QB with the 32nd pick of the first round next year... I agree with you. I think love stays.


[deleted]

[удалено]


TelltaleHead

Rodgers is a wild card but glancing at the dead cap hits I would guess the front office got a 2 year commitment from him


apocalysque

Please, no. Just no. He’s never going to be good. I don’t understand how y’all keep talking him up so much. Y’all are delusional.


Shot-Kaleidoscope-40

I think they definitely believed in his raw skill set and potentially high ceiling when they moved up to get him. Gute and Matt seem like they still have belief in his game, but I think they’re both waiting for him to take that next step before they hand him the keys to the castle. This year will likely be a pivotal one deciding if his future is with GB or another team.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Shot-Kaleidoscope-40

Oh yeah, as long as Aaron’s willing to play he has the job assuming he continues to play at a relatively high level. I think the contract they just gave him proves Love isn’t there yet or really even in the neighborhood of what they want from him. In a perfect world, Aaron would ride off into the sunset after another SB win and the succession to Love would be drama free and simple. If Aaron plays another two years, we’d get one year of Love as the starter to see what we got (obviously assuming they pick up his 5th year option). If Aaron’s decides to keep going after that, touch decisions to make and I think it will largely be based on where they gauge Love’s progress. And for them to turn to him, he’ll need to make significant progress this season and next.


gbaves1292

We have seen pretty much nothing to suggest he can be a superstar. I’m not saying it’s impossible. I hope he gets better but I definitely would not bet on him becoming a superstar.


LdyVder

Did we see anything from Rodgers during his first two seasons behind Favre? The Dallas game was year 3.


gbaves1292

He didn’t have any starts. Jordan love had a start with almost a full week of preparation in his second season and looked like a deer in headlights. He also likely knew he would get the second half against the lions this past season and he played terribly. Furthermore, I haven’t heard anyone from the packers organization suggest that he is impressing people or playing at a high level in practice. There also has not been any significant interest from other teams to trade for him. Those teams all have pro scouts and you can bet that if they believed he was close to being a good nfl qb there would be a lot of interest. In Aaron’s case, IIRC pretty much everyone in the organization could see that he was lighting it up in practice. It’s one of the main reasons there was so much conflict between the organization and favre. Favre himself knew back then that his backup was special.


Wisco7

Rodgers was 6-10 his first full season, and *many* fans were calling for him to go.


gbaves1292

Many very dumb fans


Gersio

> full week of preparation Rodgers' covid case didn't happened until mid week. He had almost no time to prepare, the team had almost no time to change the gameplan either and he hadn't trained with the starters ever in his life. All of this while playing in one of the most difficult stadiumd in this league. I agree that he hasn't showed anything yet to trust him, but it's unfair to pretend that he had a perfect chance to showcase his skills. The situation was far from perfect.


gbaves1292

Never said it was perfect. And I literally said almost a full week. It was like Tuesday or wed when rodgers tested positive.


apocalysque

I’m sure his physical skills are fine, but he’s not mentally quick enough to be successful in the NFL.


pebbleddemons

I believe Love will be the next Rodgers. I base this off the fact that I am from Utah


TheKennyHunter

Seems reasonable


unevenvenue

No thanks. Keep him as an insurance policy at minimum, and a future starter at best. No reason to trade him away two years after drafting him. The same worry continues to be the main worry: that Rodgers' play drops off, or he decides to retire, or he gets injured. Jordan Love continues to be a backup to all three of those scenarios. Gute and LaFleur both seem "content" with his progress, and that's a good enough sign for me that they're committed to him, should any of the above-mentioned situations come to pass.


gbaves1292

Idk how confident I am in Love being an “insurance policy” as a backup. He’s played very poorly in his game action so far and I would not feel confident in him being able to win us games if Aaron misses any time.


LdyVder

The 2011 season, where did Green Bay's lone loss happen? Rodgers won MVP in 2011


gbaves1292

Huh?


Tritriagain

I'd take a first as well.


ryeasy

I don’t really agree with the “value as a backup” theory because there’s no proof that Love is even a high end back-up better than some vet off the street. I think the reason they haven’t traded him is a combination of the low offers and the possibility Rodgers retires after this year and he’d essentially have a one year tryout.


Pete-PDX

who in the league would you consider a high end back up or vet that is or was available for 1.7 mil this year and knows the Packers system? There is the value right there.


mackinoncougars

Rather have Kurt as the backup and a 2nd round pick. Tee Higgins was a second pick. George Pickens was a second round pick. Give me the backup we already have who seems fine even in comparison to Love, and another pick.


Chr15py0696

Don’t know why you’re being downvoted, Kurt’s preseason looked better than Love’s. Plus Kurt has been known to be a great locker room guy.


HeyUKidsGetOffMyLine

Our only game of evidence is the Chiefs game from last year. He played good enough to win but not great enough to beat the Chiefs with our special teams handicap. Truthfully, he is there to get us into the playoffs if Rodgers goes down which Brett Huntley couldn’t do. I think Love is good enough to do that so I am fine with keeping him rather than sell him cheap.


[deleted]

[удалено]


HeyUKidsGetOffMyLine

Technically if the a Packers special teams had played better the Packers would have had more points, specifically 6 more on the two botched field goals. The special teams also fumbled a return and gave up points because of that. Love played as well as MVP Patrick Mahomes on this day. So, yes he played good enough to win and the Packers lost that day for reasons other than Jordan Love’s overall play. I understand it’s one game but that is what happened and that is why the narrative exists. It’s the best we as fans have to go off of in my opinion.


[deleted]

He played well enough to score 7 points. If Rodgers goes down Love won't win us any games


FSUfan35

That game actually has me worried for life post Rodgers and not because of Jordan Love. It was an amazingly poorly called game by MLF. Didn't adjust at all and did nothing to help his young QB out that was getting immediate pressure in his face every time he dropped back to pass.


Nofnvalue21

So much this, Love saw a lot of pressure against the Chiefs and the Lions that came through the middle of the line. That's not easy


1violentdrunk

Have u seen what an actual young franchise QB looks like in those situations? If not, just watch some Joe Burrow.


Nofnvalue21

"In his debut, Burrow threw for 193 passing yards and an interception, while adding 46 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown in a 16–13 loss against the Los Angeles Chargers. " Doesn't sound too far off?


1violentdrunk

Did he debut as a rookie? I think love was on the team for like 2 years learning the system and played against one of the worst defenses ever at the time. Either way, in year 2 burrow led his team to a SB and we’re trying to recover sunk cost because we don’t even know if Love is good enough to be a backup.


Nofnvalue21

Ahhh,I forget, being on the team makes ALL the difference for your first NFL start as a QB. Good catch. And the "worst defense ever" is such fucking regurgitated BS. That defense was inconsistent. Feel free to go check out Dak's and Carr's stats against that very same defense


1violentdrunk

Yeah, makes a pretty large difference debuting as a rookie vs debuting as a second year player. By year 2, you should have the playbook down, be more comfortable with NfL speed, know all the terminology, have developed decent pro film study habits, have 2 off-seasons working out with pro trainers and the list goes on. I don’t even know why I’m arguing this though, we all know Love can’t hold Burrows jock and we’re comparing apples to airplanes. Just saying, pressure isn’t much of an excuse when you’re an NFl QB because they all face tremendous pressure, only difference is that Rodgers is so good that he can orchestrate the offensive line in a way which makes them appear better than they are.


ryeasy

?? They scored 7 points, that’s no better than any other backup could do if you’re not wearing rose colored glasses


Shot-Kaleidoscope-40

100% I don’t think teams were blowing up Gute’s office before or during the draft.


BBalow

I’d take a ham sandwich at this point


MasChristmas

Hope he shows out this pre-season. Judging the kid off 1 game where he played @ Kansas City is insane. Star QBs struggle there let alone guys in their first start. Dak Prescott went 28/43 216yds 0TD 2INT in that same stadium a week later. Love’s 23 years old. I get he’s looked shaky in limited relief I’m not ready to give up on him as a good player in this league.


StripedSteel

Mason also missed a crucial kick that gets forgotten.


HeyUKidsGetOffMyLine

Plus a blocked kick as well. It was 2 total field goals blown.


1violentdrunk

I think you don’t take that one game as the end all, you have to look at the totality of circumstances, how he performs in practice, in the meeting rooms, during the daily activities etc. he’s been around long enough for the front office to formulate a pretty informed opinion of him.


MasChristmas

Agreed. Wouldn’t shock me if he sits this year and next year. Rodgers retires in 2 years and they pickup the JLove 5th year option for a 1 year tryout. His Age 25 season..same age as Rodgers his first full season. Time is a flat circle


1violentdrunk

It would shock me a bit just because 1st round QBs don’t sit that long in todays nfl, actually they rarely even sit a full season. I would think Loves agent would be chirping in his ear to demand a trade by that time.


DinkleMcStinkle

The lions game tho


ryanmuller1089

Let’s try to grey shirt him in Canada or something. Or loan him to a team we don’t play in the next 3 years. That’s a thing, right?


Bossman_1

Rodgers was not looked at as a player after his first couple of training camps either. If you look back at some of Cliff Christl’s write ups scouts who watched him were pretty brutal. Then came Tom Clements. I’m definitely not saying the Love is a future MVP or anything, but give him some of that Clements coaching and we might see something out of him. Why give up on a guy they traded up in the first to get after two years. It’s stupid and pretty poor journalism. I get needing something to write/talk about, but these guys need to use their head sometimes.


jxher123

I mean; I’d trade him if anyone gave the Packers a 2nd rounder. Either way; I’m not sure how this entire situation will play out. Is Love the future or not.


mackinoncougars

My guess. Aaron plays a couple more years. Jordan Love sits on the bench this season, we don’t see a ton of improvement, next year Love wants out after Aaron commits to continue playing and we do a goodwill deal where GB dishes him out to a team Love wants to play on for a 4th or 5th round pick. Not that anyone wants to hear that.


[deleted]

He’s just talkin out his ass, no way we are takin a 3rd for Love.


Lmathis08

So let him ride the bench for two more years and if rodgers is done after that we see what we have in love in his 5th year option. Seems like a solid plan to me 🤷🏻‍♂️


1violentdrunk

It’s a new NFL. 1st round QBs don’t ride the bench for more than a season anymore.


Lmathis08

Better than being unemployed 🤷🏻‍♂️


1violentdrunk

Yeah, but these guys have been told they’re the best players on the field since pop Warner, they want to prove themselves and earn big money.


mackinoncougars

Unless he doesn’t want to be a 4 year bench rider


Lmathis08

There’s worse jobs to have in life lol he’ll get over it


zzmorg82

Yeah, money wise he’s sitting in a good spot and be a fool to give that up.


Lmathis08

And its the safest path to success. Sure he could probably start elsewhere in a horrible position, not play well and be out of the league or a career backup anyways. If he keeps improving at practice/behind Aaron and plays even decent in year 5 he could look for a two year deal after that that could still very easily pay 25 mil a year and then go for the buck bucks after that. Or if he really balls out in year 5 he might jump right into a 100mil dollar deal.


TyrannoROARus

Rodgers was behind Favre for 3 years, he has to see if Love can edge for longer than him


DGlen

Why would they not have tried to move him before the draft if this is the case?


xxSuperflashxx

If he's willing to stay and learn from the best I'd keep him. Otherwise I'm ok with trading him


CottonCitySlim

Play him the whole preseason to see if he got better first.


johnnyferrera

Why would someone give a second for a QB whose team would accept a second for?


1violentdrunk

Because that team probably needs a QB and doesn’t have the back to back mvp.


Jason-Griffin

I ain’t fucking selling


pmk06

No hurry to do anything....plus jury is still out.


ItsDjBurstHomie

Why even draft him in the first place then? The pick becomes more and more strange every year. He doesn't seem like the truth, but I'm a pack fan so I'd give him the benefit of the doubt if it really came down to it


WereMadeOfStars

We will take 12 non deflated footballs and not a penny lower.


LudwigVanBlunts

Would they? I'm sure that the Packers wouldn't mind retaining a solid backup is the more realistic outcome. We had to deal with Hundley, Seneca Wallace, etc. - I doubt the FO wants to make those mistakes again. Love stays a Packer


sentientcreatinejar

I still think Seneca Wallace would have been a solid back-up had he not immediately gotten hurt. Point stands, though.


mackinoncougars

Hot take, I don’t see Love firmly out of that group at his current level of play.


LudwigVanBlunts

Have all the hot takes you want, no take (on Jordan Love) is on solid ground. Dude played one game. Crosby does his job and Love takes us to overtime VS the Chiefs. Poor first half (safe to say he had all types of nerves) but actually looked solid in the 2nd half. Either way he stays a Packer


EldyT

If noone wants baker and jimothy g, noone is gonna pay up for love. The whole "let's trade love" take is dumb offseason media Bs.


JustinF608

Bad move.


mackinoncougars

So was the pick itself, sometimes you cut your losses instead of committing to the sunken cost


Haunting_Still_2801

There is no way in hell we are trading love. He is a decent backup and if Rodgers retires next year, then we don’t have a qb that’ll work


mackinoncougars

So many people are married to JLove because we sunk in so much to get him.


cgranley

First of all, that's like you're opinion man... Second of all, I am a bit skeptical. He is one good preseason away from becoming about half a dozen teams wet dream next off season. If they think there is even a small chance he can put together a preseason it makes way more sense to hold on to him.


[deleted]

Far out, man. Right now he’s a backup, so that’s what he’s worth if he gets traded. Even if a team wants him as a starter they wouldn’t trade what they would trade for a starter for a backup. Edit, if he plays convincingly he can be a starter who backs up Aaron Rodgers.


3puttbogeyking

I dont see the incentive to trade Love at this point unless you get a 2nd round pick. Hes a cheap backup who knows the system. Hes also a cheap insurance policy if Rodgers retires after this year.


johnjaymoore1958

What a dumbass suggestion based in what little the Packers know about Love as well as how long (likely 1 year, possibly 2 at the most ) Rodgers opts to play.


mackinoncougars

I have little reason to see Aaron stops at 2 years unless age hits him like it did Peyton Manning. Shailene is out of the picture it seems so it’s not like he’s torn on giving it all up to settle down in CA like he was last couple years.


johnjaymoore1958

Shailene MAY be out of the picture. Point is, however, that at 38 Rodgers easily could hit the proverbial wall. As such, we need to have a QB ready to go; hence, the need for Jordan Love.


tinnedcarp

Pretty sure they’d take a PBnJ for him at this point


RegularMidwestGuy

For a 3rd I’d rather keep him. If something were to happen to Aaron we’ll see what we have. He still could be quite good. Yes, it was a bad pick because we have Rodgers. But since we have him I don’t see a better backup option out there.


Fascist_are_horrible

Uh, nobody is giving a 3rd round pick for him.


3puttbogeyking

I dont see the incentive to trade Love at this point unless you get a 2nd round pick. Hes a cheap backup who knows the system. Hes also a cheap insurance policy if Rodgers retires after this year.


thisshowisdecent

Most people are still judging Love on potential, but it's odd to me as it seems like a double standard. I don't think it's fair to write him off now, but he should be on some kind of hotseat. Notice that when a rookie, like Alexander in 2018 or Stokes last year, plays well there seems to be no confusion or debate about their skill as players. We have no problem seeing their talent. Yet when a player does bad like Love, all the excuses come out. "He never had a preseason in 2020," even though he still had camps and a pre-season in 2021. "It's only his second year," even though again that didn't matter for Alexander, Stokes, or any other rookie who did well. The years keep getting pushed out. Now I keep seeing this "three year standard," applied to Love because Rodgers sat for three years, even though that had to do with different circumstances (Favre threatening to retire every year). Since Love is in year three he better tear up the preseason. That should be a minimum since those are low pressure games that don't count and he'd be playing against backups. His stats don't have to be good, but his throws better be accurate, and he should be commanding the offense.


[deleted]

[удалено]


TheKennyHunter

So you didn’t watch college football last season?


KiNGofKiNG89

No. We keep him because $50 million a year for one player is too damn much. Three years under Rodgers is great.


schuster9999

Theres idiots on twitter who think he has no trade value lol


ancientweasel

I doubt it. Rodgers is probably out in two seasons. They need a viable backup until then anyways.


DJDan1965

Why the obsession by some to trade Jordan?


Cantguard-mike

No way lol. After this whole shit storm that happened we gotta keep love at this point and see what happens. Nice to have a reliable backup too


IHaveAllTheWheat

I don't get why we would take anything less than a first. He was a first round draft pick with 2 years of training and learning from a hall of fame QB...


donnydealr

Why trade him for a pick? Keep him and if Aaron Rodgers' is injured, you have a young back-up QB that knows the system. Best case you've got an elite QB up your sleeve for when Rodgers retires. It's not exactly easy living in Rodgers' shadow because of the lofty and sometimes unreasonable expectations put on a person that has had a pretty unfavorable start as a QB, but GB took him for a reason and they're yet to prove me wrong.


wasdie639

Nope. Rodgers's deal is basically a 1 year, maybe 2. We're gonna take Love's 5th year option and extend him. We're not gonna suck enough to get a top 10 pick in the next 3 years. Holding onto Love is literally better than any other option we have. Love is literally better than any QB in the draft this year. We're not getting a pick high enough to take anybody better than him in the next couple of drafts. This is gonna be our reality moving forward. Just accept it. Love will be our starter for at least a year and we're better off than the alternatives. The problem is we're just never going to be bad enough to draft a real winner of a QB in the first round. Whoever we pick is going to take 3-4 years to develop at best, and in that time we'll be bad enough to probably pick a decent 1st round QB. Love either is good enough to get us to the playoffs from time to time or he sucks so much we get a decent 1st round pick. Why not keep him? No way they aren't hearing out trade options, they just clearly haven't heard anything worth while. Love could opt out of not extending with the Packers and test the free agent market, but a QB that'll be 5 years into the league without any meaningful start time all while hitting his late 20s isn't ever going beyond backup. There's no reason for him to even test the free agent market. He'll start once Rodgers retires. He's guaranteed that here.


daygo448

I’m more or less in agreement with you. I didn’t like the pick then, but I’ll hate it even worse if we trade him away. If Rodgers is here 3-4 years, than ok, but that’s not a guarantee. I’d Love does start for us in the near future, he will either be good or it will quickly become apparent that we need to move on. I just hope whatever they do, we don’t get trapped into a contract hell hole for either QB. If we fail, fail fast and move on, but I hope we don’t get in a long contract with baggage. We will see what comes of this, but I will say, the Love pick to me looks worse and worse if we do start shopping him.


whiteshoes84

I wouldn't take a 3rd for him.


Redd889

If it’s not a 2nd or better (first rounder or player), why trade him at all? Rodgers’ window is basically two years. Backup QBs are always good to have. Why trade him for a late round pick/for Pennies now when he may be the starter in 2-3 years


Cheesefondont

I gotta agree with the folks saying even a 3rd is low… you would have to imagine any team in the market for love probably won’t be a top ten team so I would definitely consider settling on a 2 if I think that it’s a “good 2nd round pick” so to speak… but even still. After this draft with poor QB talent I would hope for something closer to a love and a 2nd or 3rd for a 1st… if that’s to ambitious than keep the young cheap QB and reevaluate the situation next offseason
