ron wolf used to draft a qb almost every year. but he wasn't foolish enough to use a high draft pick to do so. i do have a problem with using the first round pick on a qb when we already had one of the best in the league. people keep talking about his "eroding skills". even in 2019 he was still a top five qb.



but neither one of those guys would have helped fix the problems that were apparent in the loss to the chiefs in the nfcc.



assuming we don't trade away the 4th round pick: antoine winfield jr. in round 1. jeremy chinn in round 2. malik harrison in round 3. lajarius sneed in round 4.

You made my point. The trade up was the issue. I’ve been consistent with that. And if I remember correctly I even advocated taking a QB early. No GM is perfect. Truth told the DC was also part of the issue but I digress

It’s not a feel good thing at could care less actually. I’ve been consistent that the mistake was the trade up more than the pick, I would have preferred a different QB but it is what it is

And Chinn and Winfield played safety. That does not solve the issues at CB or rush end.

yeah, i was playing around trying to pick the best combination and forgot to change the other one back.

higgins, chinn, harrison, sneed. those four vs love, dillon, deguara, nobody.

I liked Higgins but unfortunately he does not play CB. I just don’t think anyone on the board last year helps beat Tampa.

Look, there is no question that Gute and Murphy and MLF probably could have engaged Rodgers more around the Jordan Love pick but let’s not kid ourselves.

Rodgers is a diva and as sensitive and passive aggressive as they get. Other than promising to never draft a QB under his watch I’m not sure Rodgers would have accepted any other answer. So he puts the cryptic “beautiful mystery” bullshit out there and has his camp float he’s unhappy instead of being a man and coming out and doing it himself. He might be a great football player, but he’s a fing coward. And he thinks he can hold a gun to the Packers head? Good luck with that.

He’s all out of options. He can stomp his feet and pout but the Packers hold most if not all of the cards. If he doesn’t show up for camp he’s getting fined. If he sits out he loses accrued time toward free agency. If he retires he looks like a spoiled brat quitter and GB still holds his rights.

The best part about all of this is Rodgers fancies himself as the smartest guy in the room. Guess what? This ain’t the NBA or MLB. Players are pawns given their ability to force moves. For a guy that been so strategic about crafting a certain common person image to endear himself to the fans, he burned that house down in 2 hours Thursday afternoon.

I can’t speak for the offseason stuff, but I think the Packers are going to come out on top here just like they did with Brent. Everything Gute is saying is correct and if they truly cannot recover from this then they will get a massive haul back in return either next spring or after June 1. Meanwhile, Rodgers thinks he can be more successful in Las Vegas or Denver? That’s laughable.

Nice work ski. Very good points. I was, however, waiting for you to say that Gute should make him an offer he couldn't refuse
