[QUOTE="Deleted member 6794, post: 960863"] Love is either a serviceable backup quarterback or not. I haven't seen anything so far that makes me believe he is at this point. I think Gutekunst desperately wanted to duplicate Thompson's approach of replacing a HOF quarterback and forced the issue by selecting Love. In my opinion Gutekunst concluded Rodgers was in decline, otherwise there would have been no reason to spend a first rounder on his replacement. For the umpteenth time, I'm not using hindsight to criticize the selection of Love as I was furious about the pick from the get-go. Rodgers' numbers dropped for several reasons in the two seasons leading up to the 2020 draft but it should have been pretty obvious to the front office that it wasn't because of his talent regressing. I would have been fine with spending that fourth rounder traded away to move up for Love to select a QB to take a chance on a prospect who presents some upside but definitely not a first rounder. The situations couldn't have been more different. The Packers found themselves in a rebuilding mode entering the 2005 draft with a quarterback that had threatened to retire while the team came off making it to the NFCCG the previous season with Rodgers having made it clear to everybody who listened that he wanted to play his entire career for the Packers and well into his 40s. Once again, I would have been fine with drafting a quarterback but definitely not in the first round after trading up to make it work. Gutekunst didn't do the right thing as he was wrong in evaluating Rodgers. With that being said I'm absolutely convinced he analyzed the situation thoroughly but still made a mistake by concluding their franchise quarterback was in decline. The Packers could have stayed pat at #30 and selected a wide receiver Higgins or Pittman and would have been better off. Rodgers was pretty adamant about wanting to finish his career with the Packers at the point of the 2020 draft. [/QUOTE]
