No use giving up draft capital for a guy who can leave in 2 months. What if Dillon, who loves Green Bay, wants to come back on a great deal for GB? Are we signing him or are we done? Always depends on the price. After the season, see what his asking price is. I really like Dillon. But I don't like Dillon making super duper money. His current average yearly salary ranks him 57th in the league. If he gets 2 million per, that is tied for 27th in 2024; 4 million per is tied for 16th (Jamaal Williams). I wouldn't be opposed to giving him 2 per season. Maybe something like 3 years 7 million or so. The benefit of having this young offense is that they will all be cost controlled for the next few years as well, so we could afford a slight overpay to keep Dillon on board, if we wanted to. He isn't bad when he is used to his strengths and not getting hit in the backfield. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now.....what with AJ's inability to go long stretches without getting dinged / out....that perhaps puts Dillon to the forefront more than we'd prefer - simply because the character of the offense changes based on differing skill sets. Ask me....offense all begins with the OL. Behind a functioning one....all things are possible. Behind one thats playing like **** - everything's a challenge.

Packerraymond Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Two high end football players like Jordan Love. Luckily for us we have a local expert here to tell them he knows more and they are fools! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can we scheme and entire gameplan around our Right Tackle??? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys are right, it's all everyone else's fault. The Packers are the only team in the league who's had a WR run the wrong route. Jordan Love is obviously an elite QB what was I thinking?

It's one thing to have one guy running the wrong route, but we seem to have multiple guys running wrong routes on the same play. And you should note this...I am not defending Love. He's been pretty bad for quite a few games. The guys around him have been pretty bad as well. It's just a bad, horrible, offense right now. And there are plenty of guys worthy of taking blame, including the coach. Guess I got my answer. It is a no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Gute is tanking? I get that the hope is that they all kind of come together in the second half of the season and set themselves up for 2024 success. I guess we'll see, but it doesn't make much sense to saddle a first time starting QB with a bunch of guys that aren't ready for primetime. I think the idea has kind of been a bust so far. I guess we'll see going forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I don't think we can chalk it up to "tHey ARe yoUnG" and walk away. Something on the offense is broken. It's either Love, the pass catchers, or LaFleur (or a combo). We need to find out which one it is and kill it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, we are losing plenty on early downs. If he wants them to loosen the reigns and cut him LOOSE, I'm in.

Mazrimiv Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 It's going to be tough to evaluate Love this season while his supporting cast is playing so poorly. Acme's breakdown of mistakes/missed assignments vs DEN isn't pretty. As expected, Love has issues to work through, but MLF and Stenavich have done a poor job of getting this young group of skill players up to speed.
