[QUOTE="sschind, post: 904350, member: 10247"] I'll go out on a limb and say Rodgers' 2020 MVP campaign is a stronger indicator that the Packers will not be in such a hurry to move on from him than the drafting of Love was an indicator that they are/were ready to move on. I'm not sure that makes sense but like I said in another post, going into the 2020 draft Rodgers had just come of three relatively down years (for him) that were plagued by injuries, some minor some not so minor. Many people, fans, media, "experts" etc, were starting to see him as possibly being on his way out or at least continuing to go downhill. I will say that his stats in 2018 and 2019, while pretty good for a QB were not that great for Aaron Rodgers. It is possible that Gute was among those who thought now might be the best time to bring in another QB just in case the "slide" continued. In that respect I see the Love pick as an insurance policy that Gute felt he couldn't ignore. If Love had not been available I don't think Gute takes a different QB which goes to disprove the theory that Love was drafted just to take Rodger's place. Obviously Gute saw something he really liked in Jordan Love and even though you might not personally like the pick you have to respect a GM who has the balls to identify a player he really likes and goes after him. Now that Aaron has had his MVP season I think it is just as likely, assuming he follows it up with similar production in 2021 that the Packers stick with him and maybe even extend him again. Of course if they do that it people will use it as further "proof" that the Love pick was a mistake. I'm not going to argue one way or another on that issue because it is a matter of personal opinion but I will say that I do not think it is a mistake for a GM to make plans if he perceives that one of his star players may be in his declining years. I'm also not going to fault a GM for being wrong if that player ends up not declining at all. On top of all that its not only Rodgers' performance that might determine his fate. If Love fails to develop it may be that the Packers simply can't afford to move on from Rodgers from a production standpoint. They may be forced to stick with him if they go through another two years and don't see enough development from Love to make the switch. I'm not an oddsmaker but right now I'd say the chances of Rodgers ending his career in GB is pretty much equal to if not greater than the odds the Packers move on from him after 2022. I certainly don't think they will move on after 2021 unless he falls completely off a cliff and Love flies high above it. [/QUOTE]
