[QUOTE="Deleted member 6794, post: 940004"] Gutekunst became the director of college scouting in 2012, you can be assured he was heavily involved in draft decisions from that point on. It doesn't make any sense to pick a random team that drafted a quarterback and use it to justify the Packers selecting Love though as the Bears and many other teams found themselves struggling to find an even decent starter at the time they used a first rounder on a QB. I agree that hindsight will need to be used to decide if Love ended up being a bust. One thing a lot of you seem to misunderstand is that I don't consider him to be a terrible choice in the first round but that I would have preferred the Packers to not select any QB in the first round at all. As mentioned above that is the only example anyone has been able to come with that is truly similar to what the Packerd did last year. As I wasn't alive at that point I have no idea about how fans responded to the move. It should be pretty obvious to everyone that the Packers didn't find themselves in situation remotely close to any of the teams you mentioned which ended up spending a first rounder on a quarterback. I even listed stats to back up my claim which you conveniently chose to ignore. True, but there are similar situations like the Packers drafting Horn in 1967 after winning the Super Bowl and most others that are completely different (for example, the Giants selecting Jones after Eli went 8-23 the previous two years). Well, if there's only one example you're capable of bringing up, with that having happened 53 years earlier, I guess it's fair to consider it close to unprecedented. On top of it, Horn ending up a bust isn't a ringing endorsement for doing it again. [/QUOTE]
