If he becomes a franchise QB, it'll have been the right call. If he isn't, then it was a mistake. I don't view it as the right call or a mistake yet. It'll probably take a few years to figure that out.There are a couple of big differences though between drafting Rodgers in 2005 and Love in 2020. 1. Rodgers was in the running for the #1 overall pick. Love was not. The fact that Rodgers fell all the way to #24 was shocking to many. He was too good to pass on. With Love, we traded up.2. This is probably the most important point. Favre kept talking about retirement. No one in 2005 thought he was going to play another six years like he did. There was, I think, a pretty widely held feeling that Favre had maybe two years left, so it was imperative to get a QB to succeed him. Rodgers, on the other hand, never talked about retirement, and even stressed that he wanted to play into his 40s for the Packers.</blockquote>
