A first round bust?

[Manster7588]

Rodgers was Favre's backup but Love doesn't even suit up for the games. He is on the inactive list on game day.

And yet you want Dallas to trade Cooper for him?‍

I disagree, Rodgers was projected to be the first QB drafted in 2005 while Love had a checkered college career and some experts had him going in the 2nd round. It is early but I don't believe Love will be anything special.

Yes, he was so highly thought of as the number 1 pick that no other team that needed a QB jumped up to snag him. One team liked it him at so quit pretending he was projected number 1.

Rodgers was projected to be the first QB taken in the 2005 draft. That is a fact.

I was just kidding. Lighten up.

He hasn't played a down. Can't call him a bust until he gets a couple years of playing time.

I'm going to call him a bust. A first round pick that isn't good enough to even back up the starting QB is a bust.

19 other teams missed on Rodgers or did not need Qb at the time. 12 other teams could not or would not trade up for him. GB picked him and sat him behind Farve . Were they smart or just lucky the other 19 teams did not pick him or the other 12 did not move up. Sometimes it’s just being in the right place at the right time. Like the poor schmoe that drops a dollar on the 30 million dollar slot on the way out of the casino and hits .

Alex Smith went to San Francisco with the first pick of the 2005 draft. Mike Nolan was the head coach and Mike McCarthy was the offensive coordinator.

The FO took a lot of flack for selecting him so maybe keeping him as the third QB and keeping Rodgers happy that he doesn't have to look over his shoulder could be a possibility.

The fans in Green Bay are very unhappy with the GM. They feel he should have selected a WR with the first pick.

I thought they would have gone that route as well but the FO obviously has different plans.

No Rodgers vs Smith was split. You called rashan Gary a bust after one game or something last year too.

See heading. Copy , paste, post. Never read.

GNG probably thought Mahomes was a bust his rookie year too

He was never drafted to start day one. Love is to Aaron Rodgers what Aaron Rodgers was to Brett Favre.

Except Aaron Rodgers was a considerable #1 overall pick selection, had VERY good QB IQ out of College, and the 49ers whiffed and chose Smith. Just turns out ZERO teams needed a QB until the Packers picked.

Love was an early 2nd BOOM/BUST pick because he had all the intangibles but his football IQ was pretty much at a peewee level.

Comparing Rodgers to Love is about the stupidest thing that anyone can say... it's good, because it's at least told me who to ignore in terms of analysts, websites, users on this forum, etc.

Could Love work out? lol, sure. That's not what my post is about, it's about the dumbass people that compare the Love pick to Rodgers.

He still wasn't drafted to start this year though, which is more the point.

The only reason Rodgers or smith were cobsidered for #1 was San Fran needed a qb...... they weren’t #1 talents.....easy to claim all this on Rodgers now. But he wasn’t this can’t miss HOF prospect

That’s literally what he is though. The Packers used a 1st round pick on Love because they believe he can be the guy. You don’t use a 1st round pick if you think a guy is gonna flop.

That doesn’t mean GB is right. Just look at the Broncos and Paxton Lynch. Elway used a 1st on him because he though Lynch was a surefire NFL QB. Then he only started about 5 games in the NFL. Teams can be wrong about who they draft, but where they draft them is a big indicator of how they intend to develop them.

Green Bay made Love a first round pick. He is their guy who they are gonna develop behind Rodgers. Maybe it will work out, maybe it won’t, but the sure thing is Love will be given the reins at some point.

I doubt he will ever be the starter.
