[QUOTE="Magooch, post: 988815, member: 17987"] I would certainly rather see them "try" too but I think there's more than one way to skin a cat. It's not just a matter of "Benching the MVP with playoffs on the line" but rather looking at it and saying...."This guy is the most valuable player on our team and we've committed 150m to him. Maybe with just a 1% chance to make the playoffs we should not be having him go out and play through injury every week on the slim chance we might make it" - if nothing else I think practically speaking you have to consider how responsible it is to risk your MVP for a small chance of making the playoffs vs protecting the biggest investment in team history for the future. So I guess basically the short of it for me is that: 1. If you believe Love is your future (sooner than later) then you should be getting him minutes wherever possible so he can keep gaining experience and developing. That doesn't mean you bench a healthy Rodgers but if your current QB1 is nursing an injury then perhaps it makes more sense to give QB2 some minutes to ensure QB1 gets/stays healthy. 2. If you believe Rodgers is your future still then you should be making sure that you are protecting that investment and ensuring he can come back fully healthy for 2023. And in that case perhaps it makes sense to give Love some more reps to build up trade value. Anyways easier to say in hindsight but with ~6 weeks to go we needed pretty much everything to go right in order to make the playoffs and I don't think it would've been "tanking" or "not trying" if we saw that and decided to give Love some more reps so as to allow Rodgers to heal up, if nothing else. But anyways it's not about "hoping" that we lose or saying we "should have" lost more games for me. Just that when looking in retrospect.....if both outcomes lead to no playoff football then I'd wager it's more beneficial to us to have a top-5 pick and no playoffs than the #15 pick and still no playoffs. Maybe we would've magically made some noise if we'd managed to beat Detroit and snuck in to the playoffs but TBH I think that Detroit performance was more indicative of the 22/23 Packers than the winning run that preceded it, so IMO we didn't really gain that much by winning those games at the end of the day.
