Is Love asking for more than Goff got?
These are perilous times for the Pack.
I know Love does, but the Pack should not discount the beginning of the season. He was below average. Many on here were thinking we would have to draft a quarterback.
In the second part of the season, we got almost every break possible. Against Dallas in the playoffs EVERYTHING went our way early. Before San Francisco when he was all Universe - see Dallas game where everything went our way - during an interview he proudly stated he made throws his coaches didn't like - I'm assuming throwing off the back foot and throwing late across the body / field. Then he met adversity against San Fran and threw 2 late picks by throwing late across the body and field sealing the Pack's fate.
I'm not against Love. I hope he improves - steps into and powers throws and stops throwing late across the body / field. I hope he retains some humility and remains coachable. I want him to succeed.
In an earlier era, I'd recommend he prove himself this year. But, in this era of fragile egos that think every not sloppy kiss on the ass is a diss so I'm taking my ball and going home, I understand that sometimes you have to deal earlier.
This is a tough time for the Pack. Even $40M / year straps the Pack. If he's not mentally or physically who we hope he is - welcome to Cleveland. I get that it's going to take $50M so that's another $10M / year.
I'm glad this isn't my decision.
I remember Thompson doing the big deals around Thanksgiving. If Love starts we'll, I wouldn't care if it cost the Pack another $3-5M / year.
