Fact: Anyone who says otherwise doesn't have a handle on the actual facts. this part is 100% true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply saying nothing or making unsubstantiated claims would be a better argument than basing your argument on something you know to be demonstrably false. it's a perfect retort to which I retorted I don't need to believe it any further than in the context in which I presented it as a counter-argument Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our Front Office would have a LOT of resources to build an incredible roster around Love, that could open a sizable window for success if he's even Jared Goff-level good. This window will never be bigger than it would be with Rodgers unless Love is actually a russell wilson level qb or better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ACTUAL market >>> Walter Football projections in February. Literally just had this argument on FB. I don't care that some publications or mock drafts had him going #1. He lasted to #24. That tells me he wasnt that highly regarded. RG3 was, and he went #2. Darnold was, and he went #3. Carson Wentz was, and he went #2. Guys that were actually in the conversation for #1 had teams trading up to acquire them. If Rodgers was actually being considered for #1, he would've went Top 5, minimum Top 10. He didn't. That tells me all I need to know Edit: I'm caught up on the whole conversation now. I don't agree or disagree that they're similar prospects. Haven't thought that much about it. Just thought the argument was centered around "Rodgers was projected #1 and Love wasn't, so the situations aren't comparable" Edited March 31, 2021 by smetana34 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because "internet draftniks" aren't all in NFL circles and Rodgers fell to 24 vs Love falling to 26 does not make them the same caliber of prospect. You're stating facts that don't actually paint an accurate picture. Either that or you clearly didn't study Rodgers at Cal. If he was the first Tedford QB and not another in a long line of failures, he would've been #1, no questions asked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It literally does. And it literally uses the best available information to support it. To suggest otherwise is to suggest that the suggester of the different reasoning places his/her opinion above that of 32 collective NFL franchises.

The NFL GDP places it roughly in the middle of all COUNTRIES in the world. It is a market all by itself. It attracts sooo much money and influence it is obviously an efficient market. It makes me so sad when people think they individually have a superior understanding that what the market actually indicated. No individual is going to consistently beat this market; therefore I trust no individual opinion over market results (especially when hindsight is involved).

You want to take the exception and trade it for the normal plus picks and cap space in 2 years So I guess the idea is to take a shot at being the 2013 seahawks if you hit on the QB, rather than trying to be a better version of the 2011 Giants, 2015 broncos, etc. Your idea is to give up an actual shot now, to have a chance at a shot later.

No it literally doesn't lol. What if Love was the 26th player on the Packers board and Rodgers was the 2nd? What if Rodgers was a 10 top player on all 32 boards, but teams didn't need a QB so they passed? You have two numbers that are the position a player was drafted, nothing to do with their grade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the feeling that the emboldened part was why Rodgers fell. Honestly, the comparison and some of the points of the discussion are almost to the level of where you would wonder if someone was trying to cause drama here TBH - not that I am saying that is the case here... I only mention it because anyone who put the collegiate careers of both QB's would see that one QB played in a Power 5 conference with one of the best collegiate dynasties ever and almost beat them with an ok RB and JAGS. The other played in a non-Power 5 conference and had a subpar senior season after multiple starters around him graduated. One QB was consistently pegged as a top-10 player based on his production; the other rose up the draft charts towards the draft very quickly based solely on athletic traits and a few big plays that reflected those gifts. To put it in perspective: Tom Brady was a productive college QB who only had a QB battle because he wasn't a 5-star QB like his teammate, but achieved and produced anyway. He came into the league as a 6th round pick with horrible athleticism, but he "threw a catchable ball" and found ways to achieve despite his limitations.

Love will be a pro by the end of the season with two full years of staff evaluation. Plenty of time to make a FAR more educated guess than Love the Utah St. prospect. My idea is to give up a diminished shot with an overpriced, aging QB that historically has severely limited chance of ultimate success for an improved shot with a ridiculously high value (cheap) QB for 3+ years (depending on contract extension timeline), a ridiculous draft capital infusion, and an extra $30million of cap space to pepper the surrounding cast with talent. It's a no-brainer from a purely field-product POV. It gets murky when the soft-science gets factored in (public perception, product sales, etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have two numbers that are the position a player was drafted, nothing to do with their grade. QB is the most valuable position. It, more than anything, will demonstrate the efficiency of the market. The NFL collectively valued Rodgers the prospect and Love the prospect nearly identically. It's all I need to know. Every individual opinion to the contrary is hogwash. It's why I'll never buy an individual stock, either. I trust no one who thinks they are smarter than billion/trillion dollar systems. It's insanity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
