I don't think they wanted Love to be in the discussion for playing time until next year at the soonest. I'd think it's at least, if not more, likely the reason Love wasn't named a back up was because they had already decided there was no benefit to putting him on the field last year for their long term plan.  Sure they could have thrown him in and see what happened.  My guess is that wasn't at all in their plans unless something catastrophic happened it became the only plan.Otherwise it was always their intention to have him sit and learn and it became more so in a season when there was no opportunity to get game reps or real practice reps.  They already thought Love had enough in the tank to trade up and select him in the draft.  I doubt they thought, hey if Rodgers does down, lets scrap the long term plan and just toss him out there and see what he does. It would have been concerning had they kept Boyle for THIS season rather than letting him walk.</blockquote>
