Williams is dropping like a Rock, losing his luster weekly. Is awful under pressure and has issues reading a defense. Maye was a big name last season but not playing in an Air Raid O has tarnished his numbers and his ability to push the FB.It's interesting that Gutey isn't certain about Love at this point, but pretty much expected, under the circumstances. If we said that Love was playing like a franchise QB, we'd be wrong. But, is that his fault? To a degree, yes. But, it's also equally the fault of penalties erasing good offensive plays, sideline clock management, play calling, a porous offensive line, missed blocking assignments, poorly run routes, and a multitude of other things I could offer and be right.
It all boils down to the fact that there probably aren't too many QBs who could do real well under these circumstances. But, also, what percentage of those out there now, can do as good, if not better?
I do believe that if the Packers decide that Love isn't the future, it will be after they see where they will finish the season. The earlier the draft pick, the better their opportunity will be to get a QB they believe could give them instant success. I don't think it's a reality, but let's face it, people who are drowning will reach out and grab anything they think will help them stay afloat. In this case, I see them possibly looking at several. Here's potential list from PFF, based on their ranking of the QBs who will probably come out. This is their ranking, not mine, so don't read into it, what I believe

Here is the reality of the situation, there are no *generational franchise QB in this draft, all of them will need talent( and a real OL) to be successful. Talent we don't have and won't until 2 drafts and 2025 FA.
* Note I said that about Love after we drafted him, I might be right or wrong but #12 couldn't get this sorry-ass group in the playoffs so asking Love to was a bit much. I stand you can't fully evaluate the young man fairly under the circumstances.
