... Because GB got Love. That's why. That's the answer.
I'm over the moon with the Jefferson pick (can't believe PHI took Reagor!) and I like Gladney's attitude and game, but GB getting Love is a total buzzkill. I had hoped they were dense enough to think, for at least another year, that 2012 Rodgers is walking through that door.
I'm of the belief that AR is about league average at this point. He's had an amazing career, but his past few seasons he's looked unremarkable-- borderline washed. GB obviously sees it too, hence the trade up and the Love pick.
I hate to say it, but I can't help but feel that this is what the Vikings should have done. Maybe we still will take a QB with Hurts, Fromm, etc... but history says we won't. Having a guy waiting in the wings to either push the starter to play better or to push the starter off the team is a good strategy. It's not a strategy my favorite team employs, however. It's annoying.
Cost controlled starting QBs are the ultimate cheat code if you can find one. I wish the Vikings at least attempted to look.
I hear you. I am feeling 2005 again unfortunately. And we could have had him twice. I never expected the Vikings to take him though, they don't think that way. I hope it is not another 15 years of looking up at the pack. Wonder what the wilfs will think of this wiff in a few years? I pray the next regime is more modern offense orientated and QB friendly.
I'm glad they got him. They could have picked a good skill player (other than QB) still on the board. I think Hurts is way better than Love. When I was at the SEC championship game a couple years ago (GA vs. AL), and Tua went down to injury, the Alabama fans went absolutely nuts when Hurts came in the game. At that point they were behind, but it was like they just won the game. I dont think the TV picked up on it. I've seen him at QB camps as well as watched him in games and watched the combine. At the combine, Hurts looked like he had some of the best mechanics of all the QBs.
I thought you were going to say that you were not happy b/c we didnt address the Offensive line. . . .

Just because Love "projects" to be the next Mahomes and/or Jackson, doesn't mean it's going to happen.
your first reaction that Rodgers is pissed, is the most appropriate one.
The Packers are getting hammered for picking Love. Rodgers said he wants to play until he's 40.
26. Packers, QB Jordan Love, Utah StateGrade: D. Terrible move by the Green Bay Packers. Aaron Rodgers told me last summer he wants to play until he's 40. They needed a receiver. They needed defensive help. Sitting behind Rodgers will do Love well, but not going to do the Packers well. You're on the cusp of getting to a Super Bowl, get Rodgers some help.
Great pick. One game away from the Super Bowl. You haven't drafted a skill player on offense IN 15 YEARS.I
Fuck the packers
Sun, you're pretty much a decent guy...but seriously...WTF...
Well - you did dodge Tua going to Detroit OP. That has the potential to be as devastating if not more so.

I couldnt stop laughing when they traded up to take Love. He basically played one good team this past year (LSU) and threw 3 picks and 0 TD's. His accuracy isnt that great and Rodgers isn't done any time soon. Absolutely love the pick for GB as I never see him on the field for them unless Rodgers gets hurt. Such strong ownership and front office for GB
I like Love a lot, but think of it this way. The Packers did not improve last night.
