[QUOTE="easyk83, post: 900417, member: 8895"] That and the reality that any football career can be cut off in a hurry. There were likely a few factors that went into picking Rodgers when they did and Love. Part of it was the intoxicating potential of both young prospects. Part of it was the idea of hey its better to develop a quarterback on the bench than in the line of fire. Personally then and in hindsight I would have taken Patrick Queen, it's not that I think taking Love then was the right choice but I get the reasoning behind it. I think they saw him as an artificially diminished prospect who lost all of his supporting cast his final year and thus struggled. If he had another year like his Junior campaign he might have gone in the first 16 picks. Gute probably figured he would be taking a QB high either last year or this year and decided that Love had much more value than whoever might become available in the future. Same thing with TT's decision to take Rodgers, who was knocked as being a Tedford product. [/QUOTE]
