[QUOTE="tynimiller, post: 878064, member: 6578"] I've long said the Love pick IS NOT what I'd have done but the logic of it is easily understood if someone just steps back and removes emotional connections with what they wanted. ^^This is one reason the pick is/could have been done. Yes, they know Aaron is entering the last ride of his HIGH quality football...as he ages, his chance of injury goes up. Having a young, electric and promising backup on a rookie contract is a positive thing. ...but there are other reasons. A cheap, but very capable (obviously in the opinion of the organization) back up throughout the remainder of Aaron's contract. If Love shows he is truly capable of taking over when Rodgers leaves, 5th year option and a small sample size could lead to a cheaper contract for the QB of the future when his rookie contract comes up. ^^barring injury or Aaron wanting out, I feel their thought process is this as well. While the trading up to draft a back up at this level in the draft is not something we commonly see, you are talking about an organization that illustrated the reason you draft a QB for the future, not when forced to but when you can. In the end the WORST thing the Love pick projects to be is a promising back up that never shows the moxy and chops to take over, but offers an athletic back up quarterback on a rookie contract to play behind Rodgers till his contract is up (ala Hundley).... Or best case, he serves as a promising back up...shows growth every year and when chances arise (small in game injuries to Rodgers, preseason and such) and when Rodgers decides he's done or reaches the end of his current contract it becomes the Love show. (ala Aaron Rodgers)... Both are extremes and I think while I think he is MUCH better than the worst scenario, it is impossible to predict the best either...but clearly that is why he was chosen. The organization in their opinion saw him as a QB of the level they simply will never be able to achieve so long as #12 is playing, because I simply don't see us EVER falling to the top 1/3 of the draft unless Aaron goes down a season. So without crashing and burning an entire season, Green Bay clearly saw a chance at in their opinion a top flight QB there for the taking. [/QUOTE]
