Won't speak for others, but I am very excited about the young talent on this team. Might be a year of growing pains, but when Love grows into the QB position this team is going to be fun to watch. Might take Love anywhere from a few games to most of this year, but when he gets there, watch out. 

FWIW.....

I'm not discounting the fact that he didn't want to be here.

 

But, there is a world that's not too far fetched where he went to Den, didn't get hurt and lead them to a deep playoff/ SB run. In that same world, Jordan Love could have been awful (who knows when or if its even true that he turned the corner)

 

That would have been a disaster for us. A lot of people, even those claiming we should have traded Rodgers a year earlier would be calling for Gute's head. 

 

A decision like that would have been malpractice not going for the SB again.

Why would that have been disastrous for us?

Lol , really? 
 

I’m sure things would’ve been great in Packer land had that happened!

Other than listening to people whine about "what could have been" we'd be in a better position. That's literally the only downside since we know the reality of bringing AR back got us 8-9 and missing the playoffs.

right 10 drives, and we couldn't run and didn't have time to pass, again the QB needs the rest of the offense to do there part too, and they didn't

the hindsight I don't agree with is the stats that don't tell any particulars like dropped passes or fumbles, poor blocking, and a defense that hasn't been able to stop the run this whole decade.

people like you that just want to blame the QB over look everything else that makes it harder for the QB to succeed, and I didn't say Rodgers was perfect either, that is you labeling someone just because they don't agree with your narrow minded opinion

Rodgers dropped back 34 times. He was pressured on 9 of those, good for a pressure rating of 25.6%, basically average for the NFL. Jimmy G on the other side of the field dropped back 23 times and was also pressured 9 times for a pressure rate of 39.1%. 

+++

Our running game averaged 3.35 yards per rush. 

Their rushing game averaged 3.65 yards per rush.

Functionally identical. 

+++

Rodgers suffered from 2 drops for a drop rate of 7.4%.

Jimmy G also suffered from 2 drops for a drop rate of 11.1%

+++

Are there any other excuses you would like to make in order to explain away Rodgers performance?

Nobody actually thinks that Rodgers is a better postseason QB than Jimmy G though, right?

GM job is more complex in having to do both build for now and build for long term.  Players don't care as much about long term....especially one that ( according to his own words) was 90% retired after 2022 season.  

Rodgers was 3 years removed from MVP level play when Love was selected.  .....

Exactly.  Smart, forward-thinking, gutsy Buildican move in the best interest of the Packers.  Players are win-now, not long-term visionaries.  Stark contrast of priorities.  And Rodgers recognized the moving-on intentions.  

Even if Love fails, I thought it was a smart swing to take.  But if Love thrives and is good, Gute will look a LOT smarter than if Love isn't good!  Should be so fun to follow *IF* he really is the real thing.

This has always screamed to me what Gute wanted. Chris Simms would talk about teams and how certain teams coming off the bus just look different (because they are just bigger; height and weight…. Also how the players carry the weight).

It seemed like Gute has been trying to get to that.

He was though… early in his career. I don’t know if it was the Seattle championship game exactly but shortly after the Super Bowl. Rodgers never had a consistent post season success. He might go off for a game.

But never in back to back games.

Rodgers was 31 for 39 over 300 yrds passing the niners allowed us to move the ball between the 20's but tightened up in the red zone, and we couldn't score, Rodgers wasn't the reason we lost that game, mostert rambled for 220 yrds, and with a commanding lead late in the game they played prevent which allowed us to make a couple long drives and score a couple TD's, in reality we never challenged the Niners, we didn't block well enough to run the ball, or protect Rodgers, yet fans automatically just blame the QB.

great stats though.
