[QUOTE="Deleted member 6794, post: 999995"] For the record, Jaire Alexander, David Bakhtiari, Rasul Douglas, Jonathan Garvin, Elgton Jenkins, Dallin Leavitt and Preston Smith weren't present for this week's OTA practice open for the media. While I don't think the Packers would have had any chance of winning a Super Bowl with Rodgers this season I fully expect they would have won more games with him starting instead of Love. It's unrealistic to truly believe they have a better chance at a Lombardi Trophy in 2023 with a first year starting quarterback. That last part is the huge question mark nobody knows about entering this season. If Love doesn't end up being a budding quarterback the extra players and money won't help a lot. Once again, Love throwing the most interceptions in the FBS in 2019 is reason for concern. It's possible that won't be an issue in the NFL but there's no way of knowing at this point. In addition he fumbled another 13 times that season. Another thing to consider is that in 2018 he primarily had impressive numbers against three terrible opponents (UNLV, New Mexico and San Jose State - 14 TDs, 0 INTs) which combined for a record of 8-28 while playing in the mighty Mountain West Conference. On the other side, he had only four TDs but eight INTs in four games against teams from Power-5 conferences in his college career. With that being said, I'm not considering him a bust because of it by any means (I'm quite sure some of you will ignore that anyway). There's reason to be skeptical about him though. And until he can prove he's a legit NFL starter none of us will truly know. It's true the offense didn't play well for most of the game against the Cardinals in 2015 but you might want to take a look back how that game finished. With less than two minutes remaining Rodgers completed two Hail Marys to Jeff Janis to tie the game just for the defense to give up a touchdown on Arizona's first possession in overtime without the Packers getting the ball back. That loss wasn't solely on the offense. I mostly blame the 2020 loss to the Bucs on the defense. While everyone remembers the offense not being able to score a touchdown after getting a first-and-goal from the 8-yard line they played a pretty good game against an elite defense. I mostly blame that one on the defense. In addition the special team meltdown was in 2021. Unfortunately both Thompson and Gutekunst focused on the future much more than they did on the present. That's not a smart approach when having a team capable of contending for a Super Bowl though. There were a lot of fans who wanted to redo the 2020 draft immediately after it happened, therefore criticism of it not working out is legit and not based on using hindsight. [/QUOTE]
