[QUOTE="Mondio, post: 1000729, member: 10441"] I'd say spending a 5th rounder on a QB when you have a starter, any starter, is pretty normal and rather acceptable to almost all fans. Even if it's a HOF and MVP caliber starter, it still makes sense 4th round or later to take a QB almost every year in fact and most fans wouldn't have much issue with it. I don't see too any that are anti-love in general. There are some that believe the pick was a mistake and my position since that happened was, if he becomes a good QB, whenever that is, it was a good pick. It is the most important position on the field and very hard to find the good ones. If you can take one, you do. I don't really care that Rodgers was our QB at the time, you never let the other guys have a great QB if you can have him. At the very least you get a big payout when you trade him down the road, at best, you have another run at SB's with a quality QB running the show. BUT, there are a few, equally as many if not more, who won't or can't see the very legitimate argument some others are making. at least IMO. I think it's very fair to say if Love doesn't pan out to be a good QB, it was a fairly large waste of an opportunity to put it mildly. Nobody is saying it would have been a sure thing for a super bowl. but as close as we were, it's not a big step to say anyone that contributed could have nudged just that little bit we needed. Fans across the league lament failed 1st round picks every year when they don't work out like they hoped. Much more than 4th, 5th, 6th round picks though we can all agree that anybody from anywhere in the draft "could" be the difference. But I think we could also all agree the odds a 1st rounder "could" be the difference is higher than later rounds. It should hardly be a surprise fans of a team who had a HOF player at a position already used a first rounder on replacing him and hasn't really seen the field yet didn't really care for the ROI yet. Especially considering just how close they got a couple of those years. [/QUOTE]
