I do wonder what might happen if say Rogers gets injured next year, misses a significant amount of time, and Love comes in and plays well.  Rogers might become available, ala Brett F or Peyton Manning.  

Dream scenario for GB. They trade Rodgers and roll with Love.

And I wonder what happens if Love comes in and looks poorly and Rodgers doesn’t decide to hang around for another 4-5 years and they are stuck replacing a ball of famer but they aren’t close to having a top 10 pick by the time he leaves GB.

Have you looked at the '22 draft class? Unless some guys come out of nowhere, it's basically Sam Howell and a bunch meh.

Would highly recommend looking at available UFAs and possible cap casualties.

Not as ideal as drafting "the guy" but options are available that will be an immediate upgrade over our current room (that can also be covered and then some by what's freed up from releasing Teddy)

He's signed through 2023. 

Regardless of how long he is signed for, he can be cut with a significant cap savings Aafter next season.  If he is injured and Love comes in and plays well for them, I could see Rogers being cut regardless of how long he is signed for.

That being said, this is a dream scenario, and I wasn't really serious.  Even if he did get cut, the chances of him coming here are slim.  A more high profile team like New England or Pittsburgh would be more likely.

That’s only if he turns out to be a good QB down the road. There are many questions with that. I don’t fault them for drafting a QB at all. I’m just not sold on Love the same way I’m not sold on Lance. 

I think he will, especially after sitting 2-3+ years in that system just like Rodgers did under Favre. I'm 100% convinced that Rodgers wouldn't be a GOAT candidate if he didn't sit early in his career. He'd still be a great QB, but taking that time to learn the position at this level like that is invaluable.

 

Lance is a better prospect than Love, certainly. That's why he'll go top 5-10 and Love was at the end of the 1st round.

I highly doubt you'd see him cut. Favre was traded for a conditional draft pick that ended up being a 3rd. They'd trade him. One, to get draft capital. Two, to have some control over where he goes. The Packers didn't want the Vikings to end up with Favre. He ended up there anyway, but they were able to dealt it a year.  All three of the Packers' division rivals could potentially be interested in Rodgers and the Packers wouldn't want to see him playing for any of them.

I respect it. I just think Love was destined to be a bust.

You might be right about the trade being more likely.  A quarterback needy team with all the remaining pieces would probably be willing to trade for him.

I haven't but I still stand by my thoughts. We need to build a team. One or 2 injuries to a "top" player or so, kills everything every time.

If you don't have a QB you don't have a team. Can't say that about any other position.

I hear you. But even Teddy with a solid O-line and CMC not hurt, and a solid defense, with those WR's should win us 11-12 games. Who knows, when the cap goes back up and we have enough young guys, we should have plenty of cap space to sign a great vet that some teams can't afford. QB's are getting expensive.

If there's a top 5 NFL defense on the other side, maybe. But we've seen that if it comes down to needing a drive Teddy is gonna deliver the L. You need the best roster in the NFL to get Teddy to 11 or 12 Ws.

      From what i see, Canales offense requires a QB that is willing to take chances to maximize the offense. XL is also the kind of receiver that needs a qb to be risky to bring out his full potential. Its just a matter of if Bryce is gonna be that QB.

      Baker just played how Baker played.... everywhere but here. He is a risk taking gunslinger.  Always has been.  And last year was asked to be what he was.   Geno Smith was the best deep ball passer in the NFL his comeback season.  Wasn't even close that year.  Again, that's the type passer Canales has always been around in the offenses he has been part of.  The pass game that compliments the stubborn run is the deep chunk play pass game.   And that was his first investment with XL.  My continued point, is the same as going into last season.  It's a bad marriage going in.  The QB doesn't fit the scheme.  Again.  Carrol/Fox/Ron....all paired up their boring football with risk taking QBs.  And again, I'm fine if that is where we are going.  It's not my preference but that's not my argument.  I'm saying if we are doing that, we need a QB that matches it.

      I guess you missed the point. His rushing attack was dead last yet his team still performed. That’s not Fox/Rivera ball. His QB also had a career year. Remember the same QB that played for us in the same division and was so bad he was cut?  Carroll coached after Lynch as well. In fact Canales was more involved in the more recent offense with Geno Smith and a good rushing attack. People are taking him wanting a rushing attack and assuming that means we are shutting down our passing attack. Again many of the top offenses like SF, Miami, and Detroit featured strong rushing attacks.
