[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 872669, member: 12283"] [B]Why I Hate It: [/B] [LIST] [*]It uses up the biggest resource remaining to the Packers this off-season to improve the roster for the immediate future, and thus improve their chances at winning a Super Bowl with Aaron Rodgers. [*]The Packers are still pot committed to Rodgers for two more seasons, and would incur about 17M in dead money to move on even in 2022, thus negating much of the benefit of having a QB on a rookie contract. [/LIST] [B]Why I am OK with It:[/B] [LIST] [*]If the FO truly believes that this is a future franchise QB, then they can't shy away due to the timing, considering that their starter turns 37 this season. [*]If this works out, then in the long run paying pick #30 and #136 for a franchise QB is incredible value-- teams regularly pour anywhere from 3-5 day one and two picks into getting their next QB. [*]This is a QB who is widely considered to need 1-2 years anyways; even if they could move on from Rodgers tomorrow (not saying I would want to), he would not be ready. So in his case, the loss of a couple years of rookie deal is basically moot. [/LIST] [B]What Would Make me Feel Better:[/B] [LIST] [*]Use the day 2 resources on offense to support Rodgers-- pass catcher(s) and/or OL. [/LIST] [B]Bottom Line: [/B]If Love develops and they can transition from Rodgers to the new answer at QB, this will have been a great pick. Delayed gratification when it comes to the draft is really difficult, but that doesn't make it the wrong approach. If Love busts, then we will look back on this as a blown opportunity to help our future HOF quarterback win another title. [B]On the Player:[/B] [LIST] [*]Reverse his 2018 and 2019 seasons and he's going in the top 10 picks. [*]From all the research I've done, there are legitimate reasons to explain what happened to him in 2019. [*]Those reasons do not absolve him of his issues at the position; they merely allow for the possibility that he could grow past them with better coaching and surrounding talent. [*]Comparing him to Mahomes generically is incorrect, and unfair, but comparing him to Mahomes [I]stylistically [/I](i.e. arm talent, mobility, ability to layer throws, ability to throw off platform, etc) does make sense. It's possible to saying that player X is [I]like [/I]player Y in certain ways without saying that player X [I]is [/I]player Y in total ability. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
