In other words if Gute felt the need to add insurance he should have just waited and took whatever QB fell to him rather than go get a guy he thought would be the best for the job and potentially be the next above average starting QB.As I have said before if Rodgers had had an MVP season in 2019 I would bet anything Gute wouldn't have drafted JL.  Since he (Rodgers) didn't and he (Gute) did Its not a far stretch to think that he(Gute) felt getting some insurance was a good idea.  It's just a shame that Gute's crystal ball was broken and he didn't foresee Rodgers' epic 2020 comeback after three consecutive years of play that many deemed a decline.</blockquote>
