Message: <blockquote data-quote="Deleted member 6794" data-source="post: 951039">While Rodgers didn't perform up to his standards for periods before the 2020 draft the suggestion of his imminent demise was greatly exaggerated.There's no doubt he had a great start to the season in 2017 before getting injured in the game at Minnesota. It's true that his completion and touchdown percentage dropped over the next two seasons but he still threw for 51 TDs and only six interceptions.Taking into consideration that McCarthy's system had gotten stale and Rodgers had to learn a new system there was reason to be confident in him being able to bounce back from some down seasons by his standards.As you might have realized by now I don't give a damn about the opinion of self-proclaimed experts. My guess about what happened with Gutekunst and within the Packers organization is that he forced the issue of replacing Rodgers the same way he saw Thompson successfully find Favre's successor.The problem with that is that he ignored that the situation the Packers found themselves in was completely different than in 2005 and that Love wasn't a potential #1 overall draft pick.I agree that overall Gutekunst has done a good job as the team's general manager. That doesn't mean I have to agree with every move he makes. Therefore I won't ever get on board with him trading up in the first round to select Love two years ago.</blockquote>
