Green Bay really wants to get to the Jordan Love interception fest era quick.

In 2007 Brett Favre led the Packers to a 13–3 regular season record, the NFC North championship, and the second seed in the NFC playoffs; he was also 2nd team all pro.

Odd that he wasn't disgruntled with the Packers after the 2007 season when they released Brett Favre and gave the starting QB spot to him.

You mean like every pick they made other than Jordan Love? Green Bay was stacked at every position last season.

Their WRs are Adams and a coat rack. Their OLine is pretty good, but without Bakhtiari not great. Their DLine is poop. Their LBs are poopish.

So they're stacked at RB and in the Secondary, and they have an elite QB and WR with nobody around him.

In 2020 they needed OT, WR, and LB according to https://packerswire.usatoday.com/2020/04/22/packers-top-needs-entering-2020-nfl-draft/, which jives with my position descriptions above. Instead, they pick a backup to a HOF QB who isn't done being elite. If the team is going nowhere, that's a good decision. But the team is at the point where they can still win a SB. So instead of Patrick Queen, Tee Higgins, Michael Pittman Jr, Isaiah Wilson, Laviska Shenault, Cole Kmet............they get Jordan Love. Then AJ Dillion....for a room that actually is pretty loaded with talent. The rest of the draft was pretty head scratching from what I can remember. I mean....this is all with the benefit of hindsight. That's why I threw Isaiah Wilson in there. But, they weren't even trying to win now. That's his point.

But I know you have an irrational hatred for Aaron Rodgers.

Rodgers is a whiny bitch. Green Bay had the #1 scoring offense in the NFL last season, and he is acting like it is a bad situation. In spite of being a high scoring team,, their defense was top-10 in fewest yards per game allowed. Offensively, it was very much a pick-your-poison dilemma for defenses. Since nobody stopped the running game, play action was lethal and opposing defenses were clearly overwhelmed. The whole offense was running like taking candy from babies-level easy. Their team was far more than just Aaron Rodgers, and him wanting to leave Green Bay makes zero sense from a competitive standpoint because no other team is going to be able to afford to pay him $40 million per and also have anything close to the same supporting cast that he has now in Green Bay.

The point is they are a super bowl contender and decided to flub basically the whole draft last year.

Imagine if they actually drafted someone who could contribute instead of trading up for a questionable QB in the 1st round.

Then spent their 2nd and 3rd rounders on a backup RB and a TE who had 1 catch last year.

Just because they have Jones and Adams doesn't give them license to draft like idiots.

Oh, I'm sorry, I guess every other team is just better at drafting than the Packers. No other teams ever make any mistakes in the draft, that's why Green Bay was the worst team in the league last year. Oh wait...

Their draft last year was awful, you can easily argue it was the worst of the league.

Obviously the effects of that aren't going to be seen in 1 year though.

So they had a bad draft last season, why have a meltdown about it when your team is still among the best anyway? Being a big winner on a great team apparently isn't good enough, that's what makes Rodgers a whiny bitch.

They pretty much completely ignored all needs. It's not like they had some bad luck bad draft, it was pure stupidity. I cant blame the frustration with the front office for that.

Especially when the biggest bonehead draft pick was to get his replacement. What's he supposed to think? You're this close to a SB and you're spending a first round pick on someone who is either best case scenario: going to take your job (yeah right), realistic scenario: not contribute for years, worst case: never be used.

He's right to be frustrated when these are the moves while he's at the end of his career.

Listen, the only move for Green Bay is call his bluff. If he isn't a moron, he'll come back. If he wants to leave really badly, he's going to have to quit football for a year.

Rodgers will be 38 before the 2022 season and he's scheduled to have the biggest cap hit in the NFL. That's one reason they drafted Love last year and he knows it.

Story goes San Fran offered Jimmy G, the 3rd overall pick, and more picks. If I'm Green Bay I'm listening.
