cannondale Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 (edited) MM got his WR immediately last night - no doubt he had issues with player acquisitions here Edited April 24, 2020 by cannondale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burrow's age (23) is a concern if you're not going to play him right away, Tua has the whole injury issue, so it just comes down to how they felt about Herbert. I doubt he was QB1. I'm sure Burrow was it, but the Packers probably didn't invest much (if any) time into him because short of him committing murder, he was going off the board well before the Packers were going to pick.

Even in the Bulaga year, Bryant went right before they picked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He compares Love to Bortles. https://www.nfl.com/prospects/jordan-love?id=32194c4f-5613-0776-be4c-ce231b05c522 Below-average decision-making against zone looks Unusually spotty ball placement forced targets to work for catches Please... I've noticed this about you....do you watch film, or just take what some guy on a website writes as gospel? Because your posts all go back to some dude writing on some website. And you seem to take everything they say as an ultimate fact. Put on some film and enlighten me/us. I think if you do, you will see some positives to Love's game. And the things that aren't so good, can be coached. Clearly he's not a game ready prospect right now, but he's got the perfect situation to come into. He can sit down and learn without being thrown to the wolves. Even Rodgers needed that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both those guys were special last year. Bush was awesome for the Steelers as well. As for the bolded, it's pretty self-explanatory. They're focused on 4-5 years down the road and not winning a SB next year. They know they'll get to the playoffs. That's good enough for them. ILBers don’t mean squat if you don’t have bigs up front.

It's conceivable they decided against it because they did so much work on him. The big issue with him is that he can't get off blocks so you need to keep him clean up front, and Pettine doesn't want to do that. Doesn't want to, or cannot? Either way, that doesn't bode well for us. On the other hand, again, I don't think he would've been brought in to be a run plug up the middle moreso than a coverage LB that can operate sideline-to-sideline.

Did I miss the Bills/Titans/Steelers SB trophy from the last few years? Why exactly would we want to emulate the strategy of teams that haven't been more successful than we have? Also, why is looking at staying competitive long term a bad strategy? Can we not compete next year because we took a QB? This entire line of thought just seems like an emotional reaction to me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 I know I didn't read someone say that Utah State tried to make the offense more pro style last year! Nothing about what Utah State does is pro style. Even in that video with Mark Sanchez, he takes a shot by saying something akin to "I'm gonna have a talk with your offensive coordinator." People just flat out making stuff up now to fit their narrative, hey? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And WRs don't mean squat if the QB can't get them the ball, and RBs don't mean squat is the OL can't block, and CBs don't mean squat if the QB has all day to throw.

I saw his Wake Forest game and saw a guy that didn't tuck it and run when he could have. I saw WR's that had to constantly adjust to the fluttery balls coming out of his hand. I also saw a guy that had a great release as I've said multiple times now. I'm not going to be like AG20 and put a ton of GIFs up because 1. I don't know how to do it admittedly, but 2. it would be a massive post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next two questions...my point is that the Packers will be good enough to make the playoffs next year, but not good enough to win a SB. Same as this past year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldmansmell Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Is it possible that these guys are not going all in or out, but focused on value? Like maybe they didn't tell Rodgers because they didn't know that the best value at the end of round 1 was going to be Love (talent with a down year and who probably needs to sit so QB ready teams passed). The Smith's each had value leans that made them additions that made sense in the long term too. Trading back in the first round in year 1 had value, taking Gary had value (even if you disagree).

Sure, Burrow was likely QB1 by default but the fact that you couldn't realistically do anything with Rodgers' contract until Jordan Love is the same age Joe Burrow is now, and Joe Burrow is 25-26 probably meant that if he did commit that murder, we weren't going to be the team that would pick him.
