[QUOTE="milani, post: 939967, member: 6654"] Right. No 2 situations are exactly alike. There are all kinds of differences. What I was pointing out was criticism in regard to Gute and the team for drafting Love in the first round when Rodgers is a future HOF QB with some years left has its parallels. I was explaining the differences and the similarities and the future possibilities. First, the attack on Gute and Murphy may very well be over the top. And Rodgers may have a reason for concern and dismay. I saw a similar move years ago by my company when I thought I was in the drivers seat. So it can be disturbing. On the other hand I pointed out that not only did such an event take place in the past but did so WITH the Green Bay Packers and WITH unarguably the greatest coach of the 20th century in the NFL. And I made mention that unlike the Love circumstance of today Don Horn was no more highly regarded than he was. And yes Rodgers has been named MVP, he has won a SB, and he has had league leading numbers in many categories. But going into the 1967 NFL draft so did Bart Starr. IN fact he had won more championships at the time than Rodgers today. But unlike today there was NO such attack of Lombardi by neither media nor fans. And there was no resentment or disenchantment by Bart Starr of all people. Someday there will be an heir apparent to Aaron Rodgers just as we knew there would be one for Bart Starr. We hope today that someday it will be a successful Jordan Love just as we hoped Don Horn would be the one to carry the torch for another decade. As it turned out Horn never became what we had hoped after Lombardi departed. And we had no one to truly carry the torch for Bart Starr until #4 came along. Let us also hope that we do not have to wait another 25 years like we did then. [/QUOTE]
