Absolutely…. But the Packers should have been very aware of the problems it would cause.  In almost every other case, I would say “tough”  let the player deal with it.  BUT Rodgers talent and what he means to this team has to transcend the normal way of doing things.  Giving deference to his “whims” is a necessary evil that in this very unique situation is/was what is best for the team.    Do I, or should Gute, like this? Nope.  But he should have been smart enough to recognize it. All of this being said, overall I think Gute has done a phenomenal job building this team and drafting Love should not be seen as his defining moment.</blockquote>
