[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 876815, member: 7261"] Totally agree with your entire post and it basically sums up my feelings, so good job. I didn't pull this particular quote out because you sited me (thanks), but I do think its a very important part of the story. Love was a QB that Gute and Co. were obviously very high on, so they went for it. As Packer fans, many of us think/hope Rodgers will be playing forever or at least another 5 years at a very high level for the Packers. However, we really have no clue and I am going to rely on Gute, MLF and everyone else that knows the stuff that we don't about that possibility and just how quickly they think that window is closing. Do we all know with 100% assurance that Rodgers clock is ticking faster in GB than we think it is? That being said, even if Gute and Co. have the same hope we have, at some point in the very near future, the Packers needed to try and find themselves a new future starting QB. So when does that begin? Next year at #32 pick, #28 pick? When you find yourself picking top 5? When you find yourself having 5 straight losing seasons and you get multiple stabs at it? The was, at least in my book, a very moderate investment with potentially a very high upside, a franchise QB. If Love doesn't look the part in 3 years, then you go to Plan B and hope Rodgers still has a few more years in him. Look back on our late first round picks over the last 20 or so years, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, but if this pick is a winner....big reward. Will giving up the chance to pick someone like Patrick Queen instead of Love cost us a Super Bowl? I doubt it, but we will never know. [/QUOTE]
