[QUOTE="Deleted member 6794, post: 876840"] You're talking about veteran quarterbacks while conveniently ignoring the going rate for first year starters in this league for some reason. With cap space being allowed to be rolled over into next season the Packers will have to spend at least $51 million of it for Rodgers while having Love on a rookie deal. There's no doubt that puts them at a disadvantage compared to other teams relying on a QB during his first four years in the league. Gutekunst restructured Rodgers contract at the end of last season which resulted in even more dead money counting against the cap if the Packers decide to move on from Rodgers either after the 2021 or '22 season. What's your excuse for making that decision only months before drafting Love in the first round??? In that case it was a stupid decision to select Love in the first round. True, but then you should surround him with enough talent to have a legit shot at a Super Bowl and not hire a head coach not tailoring the offense to the quarterback's strengths as well as draft his successor in the first round. Once again, if that happens it would definitely prove that using the first rounder on a different position would have been way smarter. The Packers would have needed to draft a game changer at #26 or #30 to have a better change of winning the Super Bowl in 2020 than by drafting a backup quarterback though. [/QUOTE]
