Brett Favre
Drew Bree's
Jordan Love

What name is out of place in that list?

Leatherhead....

More accurately Brett Favre went from 3rd string in Atlanta to 2nd string at Green Bay ahead of Ty Detmer.

Starter Don Majkowski injured a ligament in his ankle in the 3rd game of the 1992 season.

Favre was then named the starting QB and never looked back.

I like to deal with true facts, i'm funny that way.

I wish Boyle the best, but it would be completely within the realm of Lionsy possibilities for him to blow his knee while stretching during the first OTA.

Great post!

thats about all there is this time of year..outside of an occasional free agent news drop...Packers already had that..

Never trade him within our own division. Preferably not even within the nfc. If the packers decide to trade rodgers, there will more than likely be plenty of suitors.

Favre wasn't traded to the Vikings...he was traded to the Jets, and GB received a 3rd round pick for him. GB then traded that pick to NE to move up to draft CMIII.

I agree, but only if AR privately asks for a trade. If his heart isn't in it, move him for many picks. Highest bidder. Just like drafting best available player. Always try your hardest to improve the team today and tomorrow. GPG

Like AR said 2014 "Dont know if God cares about football games".
Besides that 2016 most people in America righfull said the same. And we survived. So no need for such drama anymore. Guess you can seek your help somewhere else, but you have to pay for it. Neander fee.

But at least you are right that Love was a good pick and may be even great when all is said and done. Cant be worse than Hill anyway......

I remember people saying that about Majkowski and Favre.

God help just about any team if their starter get's injured. If Brady gets injured, Blaine Gabbert is the Bucs starter, and so on and so forth.

You want to dump the current MVP player, for a guy who badmouthed his front office and played poorly down the stretch? GB had a very rare chance to pick a QB they think could be their QB of the future. How is this different than the Rodgers pick? That turned out pretty well. You want to sacrifice a potential franchise QB for an ILB?????

You clearly don't understand the draft and certainly not the Packers draft strategy! I'd be happy to help you with your lack of knowledge!

If we lose Rodgers now we go back to the 70s

You mean Miami, who won 10 games and came one game short of their first playoff appearance in ages?

If your 1st round draft choice QB isn't fit to be a backup by the 2nd year, it is time to pack his bags and give him a bus ticket to Bustville. He can share a seat with the GM that spent a 1st and 4th rounder on him.

Love is QB 2...That has been decided.

What the heck are you saying?

I'm not sure what you're saying, either, but I am a huge fan of starting rolls. Delicious!

Plenty of room on the Bears bandwagon. Go have fun with a team that isnt as stupid as this one I guess.

Sounds like Tucker wrote this.

Why spike your punch?

Well, FA just started; there are more contracts that can be reconfigured and GB has 10 draft picks. The roster might look a little different by the time the season rolls around.

Yeah, and then people like edp can whine whenever a team gets a first down against us, like he always does.

If you've ever played on a defense, you know it's about teamwork and trust. I have to do my job and trust my teammates will do theirs. There are a lot of good defensive players lining up for the Packers....Clark, Smith, and Alexander would all be considered stars at their position. Savage. Gary, Amos and P.Smith would all have to be considered no worse than average. Khrys Barnes looks like a real player and I'm excited about him. We're going to get some help in the draft, and we have solid fill in guys in Lancaster, Lowry, Keke, Jackson, Green, Sullivan......

I think the deeper question is how good does the defense have to be? My experience tells me that if you score more than 30, you usually win, and when you score over 35, you almost always win. So you only need a defense that can hold teams under 30, and we have plenty enough talent to do that, or will, after the draft.

This team is built to win with an overpowering offense. It needs to deliver when all the chips are on the table.

It boggles my mind. Now that the vaccine is here and being distributed, all of the people concerned will be vaccinated. There's no reason to continue with some of these arbitrary and unnecessary measures to contain a virus that we can vaccinate against.

So I completely agree with you here, Canadapacker. There may be some remote video stuff, but we're going to be practicing together.

I know that there's been nothing to write about Love except fluff right now, because he was always inactive and we had no exhibition games. And he hasn't gotten caught doing coke with some hooker and her donkey, so we can't even be critical of him.

There's about a 50% chance he's going to be a decent NFL QB, if TGR's data on that is correct, and I think it pretty much is. There's less than a 25% chance he'll be a Pro Bowler. Hell, he could get hurt, or be another Brian Brohm. Or a Mitch Trubisky.

Or a Dickey, or a Campbell, or a Majkowski. I don't know.

But what I do know is that he'll replace Aaron Rodgers as the starting QB of the Green Bay Packers. Maybe in a year, maybe in two years, and maybe it's a mistake, but it's going to happen.

So for ME, I'm going to pull as hard as I can for this guy to succeed. I'm going to hope that our personnel department, and our scouts, and our talent evaluators, and our coaches and trainers can make this guy a good starting QB.

In this offense, what do you think are the most necessary abilities a QB needs? Running and scrambling, a la Wilson and Jackson? Laserrocket arm?

I would submit a Lafleur QB would :

Protect the ball.
Make good reads and accurate throws.
Be smooth and deceptive as a ball handler.

That's Rodgers. He's a tricky bastard with those handoffs and fakes and is an accurate passer who rarely turns it over. But it also might be Love. He's got a front row seat to this, and he's kind of a smooth moving QB who can throw strikes.

I'm going to remain optimistic until there's a reason not to. Right now, I think the Packers are stronger at the QB position than 90% of the teams in the league, both for now and the next few years.

The vaccines will bring back "normalcy" ?
My God there is a CGI President running this country right now.
The Democrats and their media are NOT finished milking this fake crisis for control and political gain.
Sadly, "the people" need to step up and demand that our freedoms are restored , but that will never happen. ( sorry , but someone has to say it)
Expect some crumbs next season in the form of more fans allowed in the stands but don't expect normalcy.
The Packers are going to be one of the top five teams again next year and a cinch to win our division and that will be very enjoyable that's for sure .
Go Pack !

Turn on the rookie preseason film of Rodgers........He was outplayed by Craig Nall.....And Rodgers HAD an offseason, OTAs and rookie mini camp

You might be right. I'm curious though if you've watched Love throw a single pass in person. If not, please consider for a second that the Packers talent evaluators have been watching and speaking with him daily. Maybe they're pretty good at what they do?

Wow...wish my crystal ball worked as well as yours!

"Two young players with opposite trajectories."

After 4 career passes for 15 yards....and Boyle is on a trajectory? Lol

Boyle was a restricted free agent - he is going to make $2,5 mill next year - I dont think that the Pack wanted to waste that much cap money on a back up - when 2 things might happen - 1. Love might be good enough to be a back up -- especially since we WILL have a full training camp sometimes in June and August with preseason games. 2 there will be back up quarterbacks available near the end of free agency - much cheaper ( and free agent college walk ons). The Pack will need quarterbacks in the room and on the field to run drills and to be prepared for an injury or illness with the QB's. Always has been more than 2 there and always will until the cutdown. Once in awhile they keep one on the PS. Finally Boyle will not beat out Goff but I like that idea because the Lions will be like the Bears - and really suck.

Boyle won't be given a chance to win the job over Goff to start the season. But at some point there's a very real possibility that the lions will bench Goff for poor play and then Boyle will have his chance to take the job and keep it for awhile, tho probably not much more than the rest of the season. At which time next draft they use a high draft pick on a QB. Boyle could easily prove to be a better option than Goff.

When Love had decent players around him he was outstanding in college. So IMO, he has a good chance to become a quality NFL QB. Maybe a Dak Prescott type, but not a generational or HOF QB.

Boyle won't start immediately for the lions, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if he becomes the starter at some point in '21 and keeps the job over Goff.

When the Vikings took Jefferson (WR) right before the Packers and I saw the Packers move up in the 1st round I knew the Packers were taking Love. He is talented and I am very excited about his future. The drafting of any player at any position is a crap shoot (look at the last 10 years of the Packers 1st round draft choices), and Love will not be any different.

The comment that Love needs to bury his head in the playbook is telling. If he does would seem matched with his athletism good things are likely to happen. I am excited about his potential and will monitor his development with interest.

All you need is Love.

Unless you think Boyle is the answer, what difference does it really make?

In my opinion, Boyle has shown arm strength and patience in the pocket, but thus far in his young career, has not shown NFL starter type accuracy. He seems to place the ball in a general area of a WR, but he doesn't seem to throw the ball to a point in space. Example, placing the ball in front of a WR where it's catchable vs. placing the ball high to the outside shoulder of a WR running down the sideline where the WR can catch it but the CB trailing with inside leverage cannot.

Literally just got done posting the same sentiments.

I am always amazed at how short the memory of the typical Packers fan is. It's either short memory, or an inability to learn from experience.

Irish.....

Not sure your aware, but the reason fans were saying bad things about Rodgers is because they were butt hurt the Packers drafted a QB in the first round.

Rodgers barely played in his 1st 2 seasons, 31 attempts....judge that if it makes you feel better
At least he won the 2nd string job and completed some passes

As far as Rodgers first two seasons (starting)
He threw 58 TD passes and 20 picks.
Had passer ratings of ..93.8 and 103.2
Completion percentage of 64.3

TERRIBLE

Agree Irish about Rodgers early years

Do you really think Boyle could have carried us? I suppose you must. If not, it’s really stress over upside or not. Boyle had some good points but he never really convinced. Love isn’t going to be that much worse if called on. It’s possible he is better.

Given Boyle’s college history, it’s kind of funny to talk about small sample sizes in a discussion involving him. By comparison, Craig Nall was more polished and had a much better case to be above Rodgers on the roster at the same point in his first contract.

Actually no!

There was no reason for Love be put in that position. If Rodgers had gotten hurt and missed a number of games it would have been interesting to see what the Packers would do if Boyle struggled. Than to me if Love wasnt even considered to come in than I might have some concern.

Herbert flashed some nice plays but looked lost and way over his head during the first four or five games. Once things slowed down for him, his athleticism and competitiveness took over and allowed him to flourish. The same is likely true for all inexperienced players and more so for qb's. GPG
