Blake Bortles

Thing is if he looks horrible in TC and pre-season can you say he's a legit 2 and not just because he's a draft pick he is.

If you want to evaluate a guy on a small sample size yes. I don’t think this organization will

To me you put best talent on roster. If that be love or Bortles though neither to me will be something you want to start if Rodgers is here and gets hurt or he's gone.
 
Well could have been worse Packers could have tried to bring back Kizer or Nate Peterman LOL

And one additional point. If Love is QB3 on the roster the organization has publicly admitted its mistake, that’s unlikely to happen

I'm not quite certain that's true. I can see a scenario where the Packers would want to ease Love into the line up slowly, if Rodgers is a no-show. To do that, they'd need to use someone else when the season opens. That, in my opinion, could well be Bortles. If Rodgers does come back, they could continue using the idea that Love needed one more year to develop on the sidelines, because last year was a lost cause.

If they panic, and believe they need to show him as being the Rodgers back up this year no matter what, it could actually harm his progression.

I'm still a believer that a lot of QBs should get two years on the bench, without playing, refining their skills, and learning exactly what they need to do when they hit the field. I firmly believe that was what made Rodgers the player he became. Rushed, he might have lost his confidence, and a QB who has lost confidence is totally lost in the NFL. They'll eat them up.

I don't care what the fan base wants. I want another year of Love being prepared for a career in GB, not rushed in to show everyone they didn't screw up.

Valid and this maybe semantics but if you are QB3 your not running the same reps as QB2, your the scout team guy again. In camp your not seeing many if any reps with the first unit. Your not mentally preparing the same way. Assuming 12 is on the roster thats one more redshirt year and not sure that does not hurt his overall development

I agree I would prefer to let a guy sit but that unfortunately is not a perfect world. its one year closer to his 5th year option, its becomes a business decision also
