Message: <blockquote data-quote="Deleted member 6794" data-source="post: 1000718">While some of those players listed definitely didn't live up to expectations of a first rounder all of them made a bigger impact than Love over their first three seasons with the team. Once again, I have no idea if selecting another prospect would have been good enough to get past the Bucs or Niners in the playoffs but I would have liked to find out. It would have definitely increased the chances compared to a quarterback who wasn't even active in 2020 and didn't play in '21.You're making the assumption that the prospect selected instead of Love would have had to be a big difference maker to make it to the Super Bowl in either 2020 and '21. That's not necessarily true as Scott Miller or Jordan Willis proved in the games the Packers were eliminated in. It's impossible to have any impact not being on the field at all though.As mentioned repeatedly there isn't any anti-Love crowd around here. In addition it's bogus that you consider yourself to be superior fans of the team based on your approval of Love's selection. With him being the starter entering this season I will definitely root for him to succeed as well. Yet both of them had significantly more impact than Love who wasn't even active for a single game in his rookie campaign.Once again, I don't know if another prospect selected would have made a difference in the team's winning record. But it's ignorant to act as if a receiver who has caught 215 balls for 3,028 yards and 19 touchdowns since being drafted in 2020 wouldn't have had a bigger impact than Love has had so far.You get a chance to interact with those people in real life and don't have to form your opinion based on what they say in front of a microphone or type on a keyboard. It's actually sad that needs to be explained.Actually some of us are suggesting it was a bad idea to select a quarterback in the first round of 2020 as it should have been obvious that a prospect at that position won't have any impact in the first few years on a team that was in a win-now mode. That's not a knock on Love though as he still has the chance of working out for the Packers in the long haul.The Packers found themselves in a completely different situation entering the 2005 draft though. I would be interested in that list consisting ofI would be interested in a list of first round picks in the past 20 years who had no impact in their first three seasons in the league. You don't even have to limit it to the ones selected by the Packers.</blockquote>
