100%. Shortly before he signs his first Jets contract.
Lafleur said he teases Love by telling him he's going to call his mom if he ever notices him changing.
I think he is more likely to follow Starr's path than Rodgers.

I'm going to enjoy the month or two (or longer) that Dak is the highest paid QB. 
They be gel.
The hardest thing about replicating last year's run is going to be at RB, imo. 33 played at the highest level for a sustained stretch. It's not nothing that he's gone. He had a way of leveling up the perception of the offensive line by finding hidden yards and providing exceptional contributions in pass protection. When he was humming it made things a lot easier for the other 10 on that side of the ball.
Every season presents its own troubles and replacing Jones' production is going to be a challenge this year. 33 at the peak of his talent was like having an almost Marshall Faulk like impact on the offense. It's the spot that gets pressured for saving money and I don't doubt Jacobs will perform well, but matching the work Aaron Jones put in during last year's run is going to be some big shoes to fill.

I’m more than happy with Jacob’s.
And Lloyd is gonna be great.
@vitaflo posted:There were only 5 seasons of Rodgers career where his best 11 games were better than Love last 11 games of last season. They were the "Run The Table" season and his 4 MVP seasons.
This is why Love got paid. You don't screw around when your QB is putting up historic MVP level numbers.
@PackerHawk posted:Oh hell yeah. Me too!! But I'm just trying to picture this soft spoken, humble dude becoming vilified. Can he remain that guy despite the fame and fortune?
Just don't get bored making the easy completion. 🙂
I think this is a great middle ground deal. In reality, it’s 4 more years at about 15% of the cap. JL gets a shot at another bonus if he earns it and Packers get a option for an early divorce if they want one.
They had to get married, glad the prenup is reasonable for both sides.

And Dillon... uhh... has really big quads!

Tom Silverstein talked about this in a recent podcast that teams can mostly tell what a player is going to be like personally even before they're drafted. Mentioned how the Packers main concern with Rodgers coming out of college was that he was very cocky and arrogant. And of course we saw that at times over his years here, and especially towards the end.
Also said the Packers concern with Love was that he may be too even-keeled. He never seems to get too high or too low and they weren't sure how that would play with him being the team leader. Obviously they've seen enough now to know that that smooth demeanor is actually a benefit.
That's a really good sign!
Even though we didn't hear much from him while he sat behind Favre and came off as a level headed, cool and collected young QB when he finally took over. One of the first things he said the night he was drafted was that SF was going to regret not taking him.
That choice of words was called "foreshadowing" in this story.
Good point. Not to mention...
Rodgers' arrogance is the main reason he fell to us in the draft.

And he backed it up pretty well.
TT wasn’t afraid of the complicated fella. He just wanted to win.
The lowest he'll be ranked for the next 10 years. Or would it be highest?
Top 5 when he wins a Superb Owl.
I'm surprised he even made the top 100

Favre is surprised it took this long.

It's certainly not zero.
Only time will tell.
So you're saying there's a chance.

At least we can count on the Vikings never winning a Lombardi.

I think some people will think being too even keeled is a bad thing but I think it is a good leadership style. I am not comparing Love to Joe Montana or Bart Starr in any way but I think sometimes a calm leadership style has a way of having a calming effect on everyone around them.
