[QUOTE="Sunshinepacker, post: 905032, member: 9033"] That's pretty much the only way to take that. Rookie contracts are 4 years. If Gute thought Rodgers was still a good QB then why would he think Rodgers would need to be replaced within, what, 3 years? Rodgers will be 37 during Love's second season, he'll be 39 at the end of the rookie portion of Love's current contract. In what scenario does it make sense to replace an ,at worst, top-10 QB 3 years too early while also trying to win a Super Bowl? The only rational explanation, that doesn't involve some twisted fan-logic that Love will automatically be the best QB prospect in the next 5 years to be drafted below pick 20 and turn into an annual MVP-candidate, is that Gute thought Rodgers was declining and believed he needed to be replaced in a year or two. Gute is a pretty good GM, just because he was wrong on that doesn't mean he's suddenly a terrible GM. I do think that decision will somewhat haunt the team's player personnel over the next couple of years but saying, "Gute was wrong in his evaluation of Rodgers" is not me saying, "Gute is the worst GM in the history of pro sports!" (that would be Ted Stepien). So, rather than not giving me your thoughts on what happened and just responding with a meaningless insult to feel better about yourself, please tell me what logical process is at work for a GM who still believes his QB is great but drafts his replacement in the first round 3-4 years before planning to play him, thereby wasting a fairly valuable aspect of having a good rookie QB, the cheapness of his contract.
