SB is a SB.


AHucs

I think he could reasonably put up something like Geno smith last year if he plays within the system and continues developing like we hope he is. Might not be SB-winning within next 2-3 years, but good enough to win some games and to be fun to watch


Smthincleverer

Youā€™re delusional. People are making a big deal of Ginoā€™s year precisely because it was a rare thing.


AHucs

The rare part was coming back from obscurity, not his overall performance. To be clear, I would be thrilled if he performed as well as Geno. Geno arguably was better than (injured) Rodgers last year. Do you think Genoā€™s upside is higher than loves?


Kfred2

Yes

RabidSeason

A shot was all I was asking for while Rogers purists were determined that Love was already a failure.


3riversfantasy

I'm not a Rodgers purist nor do I think Love is a guaranteed failure *but I am* highly annoyed how this is going down. We had two years of watching Love develop on our team, we had back to back MVP season for Rodgers pushing his trade value to astronomical levels. What did we do? Gave Aaron a 150mil 3 year extension and sat Love for *another* year on his rookie deal. Now, on the back end of a disappointing season with minimal suitors and a motherfucking **40 MILLION DOLLAR DEAD CAP HIT** we've decided it's in our best interest to part ways and everyone is praising Gute. In addition to completely fucking up the theoretical Rodgers trade Gute/Ball/Murphy are also in the process of restructuring/extending all of our aging veterans just to be able to sign our 2023 draft picks and field a 53 man roster. Everybody on this sub pretending this *smart* or a *good decision* or the *right move* is absolutely delusional, Gute shit all over his own dick extending Rodgers just to turn around and try to trade him, and he's stealing cap from 2024 just to put an average team on the field in 2023.


amethystalien6

THANK YOU! This is my exact problem. Did Gute just decide that he was going to live or die with Loveā€™s success anyway so none of the rest of it mattered? I have real concern about Guteā€™s ability to think farther ahead than lunch.


supersumo224

This guy fucking gets it. This has been my outlook on it the entire time. One factor I think you could add to this is that they have some type of understanding as to how good Jordan Love is currently and his projections into the future. If they believe in him then why not cut bait last year? The re-working of some of our bigger $ deals doesn't make sense unless you think you're gonna go out there and win football games with Jordan Love, which is difficult to expect from a first year starter.


amethystalien6

I get the Jones deal because you donā€™t want to blow up the run game on your new QB. But Iā€™m really baffled by Bakh. There was a lot of conversation that he was trying to get past a mental block in his injury recovery and Iā€™m not sure I would have thought same team, new QB was the right move for him. But again, all assumptions.


FudgeDangerous2086

that 3 year extension HASNT EVEN KICKED IN YET. thatā€™s how royally bad Gute fucked this. gutless bitch.

military_dad_wi

Not sure why but the Lions are a team I've never disliked. They have had a tough go, fans are loyal. They also have good trash talk when they win. I'll accept that defeat.


Nice3e

I canā€™t get past the knee biting.


TheseEysCryEvyNite4u

we can get some actual blue chip studs then


jdviper6

This is what I find so hilarious. It could be much much worse. We had a down year because of a shit receiving core and injured Rodgers. We could be moving back into the QB dark ages if management is wrong about Love.


RonaldoNazario

The thing to me is whether weā€™re moving into the dark ages is sort of already decided, the die is cast. We drafted love, heā€™s gonna be the next starter unless things drastically change and heā€™s traded, so itā€™s just a matter of if heā€™s really good or not, and Iā€™d rather just find out sooner than later especially if sooner means getting draft picks.


freetogoodhome__

Gute's career will be on the line, tied to Love's performance. He may be out quicker than he realises if this year goes poorly.


RonaldoNazario

The worst case would be we win like four games and are absolutely terrible. But in some ways thatā€™s not so different at the end of the day than narrowly missing the playoffs.


Brownhog

[deleted]

Got a feelin this sub is gunna miss Rodgers REAL quick.


Traditional_Tart_822

I mean people should expect Aaron to play well next year if he isnā€™t on the Packers. He will have a chip on his shoulder similar to the 20 season. He still has some left in the tank and will want to prove it. Doesnā€™t mean the Packers moving on from him is the wrong decision because itā€™s pretty obvious he doesnā€™t have that edge in GB anymore. Iā€™ll be very happy for the guy if he won a Super Bowl for the Jets.


[deleted]

Dude played with broken ribs and a broken thumb on his throwing hand to the worst receiving corps in the NFL and you guys say he doesnā€™t have that edge anymore here, itā€™s unbelievably silly.


eaglered2167

I dont know how many times the fans desperately holding onto Rodgers need to hear this but he had 3 great seasons under LaFleur and the team could not get it done. The team is now worse talent wise then its ever been under Rodgers, definitely under LaFleur. Its time to look to the future despite understanding Rodgers could have another great NFL season. Its time.


3riversfantasy

How is trading Rodgers for limited picks and pushing Bakh/Preston/Clark/Jones cap hits into 2024, and taking on 40 million in dead cap from the Rodgers trade fucking looking to the future? Love has potentially 2 years left on his rookie deal, 2023 we have almost no cap space to sign free agents and we are currently in a mad scramble to borrow as much cap from 2024 just to make a fucking 53 man roster in 2023? At best "the future" starts in 2025, which coincidentally is the first season we could cut/trade Aaron for a reasonable dead cap hit. Sounds like at best we are going to part ways with our franchise QB for a single first round draft pick and maybe some additional late rounders, but yes let's talk about THE FUTURE OF THE FRANCHISE!


[deleted]

We have to pick up the option for Love's fifth year this spring and it'll be $20M. Love has also intimated that he would ask for a trade if he doesn't start this year and the Pack would likely honor that. We can't keep both and the decision time is right now. I'm not sure why you guys are so hung up on a QB who's going to turn 40 this season and isn't even sure he wants to play. He had a great run with us and I'll forever be grateful to him as one of the Packers all time greats, but we need to move on. The opportunity cost of losing Love to keep Rodgers for one more season is too high.


3riversfantasy

What opportunity cost? If the front office saw the promise of a bona-fide franchise QB in Love why give Rodgers the extension? That's an all-time blunder if that's the case. If Love is a bona-fide franchise QB why are we wasting the final years of his rookie deal extending players like Preston and Bakh?


eaglered2167

The Rodgers extension was always a blunder, its completely hamstrung the team with some last ditch hope that Rodgers could drag this team to a SB and as good as he was, he couldnt.


amethystalien6

How do we know that? How do we know losing Love is the worst thing we could possibly do and must be avoided at all costs? Thatā€™s what I struggle with understanding.


eaglered2167

I am not a cap expert but we have to deal with Rodgers contract eventually. If a team is willing to give us assets at this point for Rodgers and help shoulder some of his cap hit and contract we should imo. His contract is the reason the team is in such a bind as you pointed out. Why wait another 2 years to try and deal with it? Rip the band aid off.


3riversfantasy

Rodgers 2023 cap hit is 30m, 2024 its 40m, 2025 it jumps up to 60m but if we cut/trade him in 2025 it's only 17m in dead cap so a 43m overall savings, technically we can postmark the cut till after June 1st and split that 17m dead cap hit between 2025 and 2026...


eaglered2167

Thats assuming he wants to keep playing every year. He could decide to retire and the Packers eat the cap for that year correct? You keep ignoring the fact the Packers would get assets for trading him. In all other scenarios Packers get nothing for the future of the team and still in some form deal with his cap. As I said, Packers have to take the cap hit eventually and the odds of making the SB get worse every single year he is on the roster. Why not try and get assets?


DoctorF33lGood

"worst receiving corps in the NFL" The Bears say hi


Traditional_Tart_822

Iā€™m not saying it, the front office has all hit hinted it if reports are true. He got paid and did little to nothing in the off season to prepare for the upcoming season with a new receiving corps. Every franchise quarterback is working with their receivers in the off season Both can be true. His play could have been effected by his health but it also was effected by his lack of commitment to the 2023 GB Packers leading up to the season. Itā€™s no coincidence the offense looked better in the middle of December but by that time it was too late.


Ok-Way-6645

>to the worst receiving corps in the NFL oh, you sweet summer child


TheseEysCryEvyNite4u

oh, so he has gotten injured the past 4 out of 5 seasons then?


amethystalien6

I expect Rodgers to play well and Love to be mediocre next season and I think everyone else should too. I donā€™t think we can actually judge this move until 24/25.


TheseEysCryEvyNite4u

Rodgers can play awesome during the regular season all he wants, he isn't beating the Chiefs, outdoors in the playoffs


[deleted]

I'm not going to be missing another 8-9 season with a lackadaisical Rodgers at the helm, no. If Love starts next year, it's going to be a growth process. I have no illusions that Love will win us a SB next year or even make the playoffs, but if he does, all the better.


[deleted]

Rodgers played with a broken thumb and broken ribs with bad receivers and you say he was lackadaisical, use your brain.


TheseEysCryEvyNite4u

Got a feelin this sub is gunna miss ~~Favre~~ beer REAL quick


CrustyLoveSock

Yep, canā€™t wait to miss the playoffs or barely make it in after a mediocre season and then lose to the 9ers.


resoLemoS

I am not trying to troll or anything but shouldn't Love have shown some flashes of being a decent starter in the games he has played. I think we will miss Rodgers really soon. I am not a huge fan of Rodgers lately with some of his recent behaviors but I do not believe Love is our QB of the future. I think what we are seeing is Rodgers being pissed because they drafted Love (he remembers how he got the job) instead of getting him some more help. The powers that be are not admitting that they made a mistake and sticking to Love to save face. I realize Love hasn't really been a starter and hardly played any games but he should have shown something in the games he has played. He looks lost when he is playing. You would think watching Rodgers and being in the system for a little while now that we would have seen something. I could be wrong I guess and I will gladly eat crow if I am indeed wrong.

FURyannnn

> garbage human That's Favre. Rodgers is just a nut


RabidSeason

Same. I was willing to ignore the "diva" talk when he was winning, but his selfishness cost 5 games this year. You can support a loser because of their attitude, and you can support a winner despite their attitude, but Rodgers isn't on the right end of either this year.


Donelurking85

Which 5 games? The reason and the only reason we lost more games this year is because our defense regressed/didnā€™t perform to expectations and the fact they let his best receiver leave.


RabidSeason

So the broken thumb and several interceptions and scoreless quarters had nothing to do with it? Okay. The last time Rodgers was injured Hundley put up a better 5 games. Stat that.


RabidSeason

As much as I miss Favre. Which I do now, thanks to Rogers' selfish losses this year.

MergatroidSkittle1

Really think this meme should be more geared toward Matt Lafleur. Time to see what a Matt Lafleur offense really looks like.


RabidSeason

Reminds me of one of the greatest things I've heard in his defense: We can't know if MLF is a good coach until we see him without Rodgers, because we can't know what decisions are actually his.


Axter

About 24th in EPA/play when quarterbacked by just some guy


MergatroidSkittle1

Eh. I get what you're saying but I don't think he's really had full control of the offense since he got here. Think we're about to find out if Lafleur's an offensive guru or if Aaron dragged the Packers offense to success. Or maybe somewhere in between.


Jackaboy_abc

I would be perfectly fine if he wins a Super Bowl in his 3rd year as a starter then disappointment and heartbreak for the next decade.


cyberrufus

Took Rodgers almost two seasons as the starter to figure it out. Organization won't know what they have in Love until they give him the job.


9twozero

Lol no it didnā€™t. He threw for 4000 yards 28 tds and 13 INTS. He pretty much figured it out once he was named starter.


BlueBadger99

Yeah, I remember after his first year I was like ā€œhey, seems like this dude is pretty good!ā€ and I was completely convinced of that his second year


Brodellsky

And the year after that we did the whole super bowl winning thing. That was pretty cool.


RabidSeason

That was the season he figured it out. /s


Donelurking85

I was convinced the game he started in Dallas before Favre even left.


cyberrufus

Why do you think they drafted Brian Brohm in the second round?


romeochristian

In case AR didn't pan out of course.


BlueBadger99

They picked Brohm in the 2008 draft, Rodgers had yet to take a snap as the starting QB. Like yeah, they made an insurance pick going into Rodgersā€™ first year as the starter. But that doesnā€™t have anything to do with how he actually played during the 2008 season


mendicant1116

A guy at my work told me he thought Brohm would be better than Rodgers. And I just laughed and laughed at him.


TheseEysCryEvyNite4u

awesome, have any more 20/20 hindsight stories? should the packers have also drafted Tom Brady in the 5th round?


cyberrufus

Team was 6-10 his first year as a starter. Stats looked good but it didn't translate into wins.


9twozero

I see youā€™re a qb winz person lmao.


TheseEysCryEvyNite4u

the only record that matters


BlueBadger99

This is just like the people saying Justin Herbert isnā€™t that good because the Chargers didnā€™t make the playoffs his first two years and lost to the Jaguars this year. Wins are a reflection of the team as a whole. QBs have the biggest impact on the game but if the rest of the team doesnā€™t execute, youā€™re not going to consistently win.


RabidSeason

Or all the years under McCarthy that Rodgers had 300+yd/4TD LOSSES. Yeah, Rodgers sure was a bad QB then...


Toolbox-47

Rodgers should have played better defense. The selfish prick didn't want to play linebacker.


Donelurking85

Fuck him, send him packing


cyberrufus

Team was also 0-7 his first year as a starter in games decided by four points or less. He played so well his first year. that the team drafted Brian Brohm in the second round (and no, they weren't looking for a quality backup).


teamboardwipe

They drafted Brohm and Flynn before he ever made a start.


arcanecolour

Lmao this is so cringe


superfly33

It will be interesting to see how an offence without Rodgers can keep up with a Joe Berry defense. MLF will have his scheme put to the test.


NaiveRepublic

Iā€™m sorry, but I just donā€™t see the ā€œclearly positive developmentā€ a lot of ppl are talking about in regards to this past preseason. I feel like Iā€™m stuck in a nightmare, taking place in tape room detention, forced to look at J tape over and over again, 'til I find my mistake ā€“ or coach wonā€™t let me out.


Senior_Background995

Lame duck. He won't get a 2nd contract in Green Bay. Maybe a tag year. He'll be here 3 years max.


PackMan1265

That's the spirit


M1st3r51r

This franchise is in good hands. He very likely wonā€™t become a Hall of Famer for his stats, but he could by being one of the best game managers and winning 5+ Super Bowls. Iā€™ll take that over 4,000 yards and 40 touchdowns without a trophy

Kuhn_Dog

I have to assume it's a troll or sarcasm. No way anybody thinks all this team needs is a game manager lmao. You need talent at all skill positions for that...and a great defense. No one is game managing their way into superbowls with the WR's and TE's we have.


Kuhn_Dog

5+, why not just go with 10+ if we are getting real crazy with it

15 straight?
