Green Bay being spiteful like the Lions with Calvin Johnson. Not a good look imo. They'd be better off to do a full rebuild on offense

They totally mishandled the Rodgers situation by wasting a draft pick on his apparent heir apparent. Rodgers is petty, but it's a bad look when an entire organization is.

This is true as well. If they pick almost any half decent WR there, they probably play this weekend

I don't know. I have an entirely different take on that whole thing. Whether they did or didn't make a mistake drafting Love, I have no opinion. But, I think he acted like a petulant little bratty child when it did happen. Who cares? Play ball. What, does the team need his permission? LOL I know the situations weren't exactly the same, but did Flacco whine when he had Lamar and RG3 waiting in the wings? No. He's a grown man and just went out and played. It's what grownups do.

Didn't Flacco have some quotes complaining about the Lamar pick? I seem to remember he did.

If Joe had as much leverage as Rodgers, with about 2/3 of the league ready to take him, his complaints might have gone a bit further. He did do his silent protests of throwing Lamar those hospital passes when he was lined up at WR and then refusing to move when he was sent out wide himself. (What a stupid idea that was.)

"Hospital passes." LMAO.

In theory, yes. But that's not how it usually goes with superstar athletes who are the best in the world at what they do.

Tough to say, but my guess back then was that it was safer for him to just stand there, rather than move around and give a defender a free, cheap shot at a "blocker". Yes, it was dumb all around.

Last year the Bears did the exact same thing with Allen Robinson. 2 years ago it was the Bengals with AJ Green. Both teams had no problem signing free agents after that. I don't think it's the smart move when it comes to roster construction but I don't think it hurts when it comes to attracting future talent.

Asking for a friend.

He hasn't won one with the receivers he presently has so I doubt he could pull it off in purple and black.

If the Packers drafted Tee Higgins instead of Jordan Love there's a good chance they would have made the Super Bowl this season or last. Rodgers is a very good on top of his game, but the Packers need another play maker to line up opposite of Davante Adams on offense.

When you have a QB like Brady or Rodgers the goal should be doing what it takes to make the Super Bowl and not wasting a first round pick on a backup QB.
