[QUOTE="RRyder, post: 872753, member: 10329"] Worst reasons I've seen for hating the pick (paraphrasing a lil bit) 1: "Rodgers has said he wants to play into his 40's. Why draft a guy now?" Well because unless Rodgers play improves over what we've seen the last 2-3 years he won't be playing in GB into his by age 39 one way or another 2: "The odds of drafting another great QB is low. Why even try" This is probably the most internet reasoning ever 3: "The Packers just resigned themselves to mediocrity for the remainder of Rodgers time here" A single draft pick late in the 1st round isn't going to be the deciding factor on that 4: "Rodgers was a potential #1 pick. Love was never in that discussion" Rodgers was only in discussion for the #1 overall pick because SF needed a QB. Neither him nor Smith were considered in the discussion as best prospects going into that draft. And it should be noted Love (in a much stronger QB class) was mocked as high as #6 5: "This doesn't help us this year or next year at all" If we were drafting high in the 1st this would be valid (see my views on the Gary selection). If you're drafting late in round 1 but only going to be drafting guys that could be instant impact players then you're going to miss out on some darn good developmental guys because you can't look past the season right in front of you (see the Kenny Clark selection) 6: "Should've just waited till Rodgers retires and then took a QB" So you can be in a position were you might have to draft a QB high that you might not like but can't pass on because you absolutely need a QB versus drafting one that you love? Thats the exact reason why QBs who aren't even top 10 prospects go in the top 3 lots of years But my personal favorite... 7: "The Packers have continually ignored to surround Rodgers with weapons by refusing to draft offense in round one and this is just another slap in the face and keeping it a one man show" This one is just comical to me. Not only has Rodgers had a top flight offensive line in GB for most of the Rodgers era but for the most part he's been working with one of the best WRs corps in the league. Yes missed draft picks have diluted the skill positions on the outside the last 2 years but acting like Rodgers hasn't been given talent on offense over the years is simply re writing history because you're blinded by the present If you didn't like Love as a prospect I get not liking the pick. I really do. He's pretty much the definition of boom or bust. But it seems its more a love of Rodgers getting in the way and a failure to see past this season [/QUOTE]
