all i can say is that i hope that someone has been spending a lot of time with him and coaching him up. he was never activated last season, but hopefully he was not ignored during practices and someone was focusing on his development.

You just dont have time for that in season, and thats not something to blame the staff on. Its the nature of installing the game plan, walk thru, 1st team reps. Thats what OTA's and Mini camps were designed for

many of those guys were said to be overdrafted even at the time they were drafted. especially trubiscuit

I dont think they were over-drafted, more supply and demand of the position that overvalues guys. Thats been around for decades

so what? he just sat on his butt for a year? just letting him get stale? fgs, hire an extra coach to focus on him. an assistant qb coach. he could have other duties as well, but that should have been his primary focus.

It's the occasional "wow" play that made the difference. I don't care what anyone says, you can't really project a Rodgers or Mahomes trajectory. Not really. But I do believe that Packer brass thought they could clean him up but retain the break-the-pocket, throw on the run stuff and bail us out when the play breaks down that Tim Boyle, for example, is just never going to do. Which is essentially the same thing as when they elevated Rodgers over Craig Nall.

The team eval of him is really part of a broader pattern. We saw it with Gary and Savage as well. They see traits and then say, I don't care if he never did it in all his snaps, we can make him do X, Y and Z. I comprehend it but I don't think it's the best way to do things. Drafting players is about obtaining a player that basically doesn't exist (yet), but that sort of thing can only go so far before it devolves into magical thinking.

and part of that is many of these guys are playing out of position at the college level, on both sides of the ball because of spread / option schemes. Guys who should be a safety (Queen) played OLB/ILB in college due to his speed. Gary was a DE who played wide for many the same reasons. You have guys at DL who should be LB's.

and who does he thrown to, what guys defend...its not like college when you have 90 guys on a roster and you have that luxury. You can work on mechanics a bit but a glorified 7 on none is really no benefit

From what media guys who attended open practice said this was pretty much it. Rodgers got the lions share of 1st team snaps and then Boyle got the rest and the 2nd team snaps. Love ended up running the scout team. So Love pretty much got classroom work this past year watching tape and being able to Q&A from ML and Rodgers. Love will pretty much be a rookie this year for getting actual work in.
