I like Toure and hope he makes a big leap this year, but I recall that a year ago, Tyler Davis was the Packers pass catcher du jour.
He was coming off back to back MVP seasons. It's been mentioned how insane it would be to dump that. Its easy looking back now.. That's all I'm saying.
Bringing Clements back has been huge, and ironically that was all AR's doing. Taking an active role in young players development is an area that unlike Favre (and even Brady based on a book I am reading), AR excelled at.
I have a feeling Toure' is a "gamer". Sucks in practice but shows up during GameDay.
It's hard for coaches to give a guy like that playing time.

The much younger Russell Wilson coming off a 40 TD season was traded. Crazy like a fox.
Jordan Love: “The whole offseason I approached it as if I’d be the starter. That was just my mindset going into it. I couldn’t control what happened.”

Jordan Love said he's talked to Aaron Rodgers since the trade. Rodgers wished him the best and said he'd be there for Love if he needs anything.

"Always just grateful to be around him."
I watched the press conference. The reporters tried to get him to say more than a cliche. He would not bite. I respect that.
After the last guy, this guy’s pressers are going to be really boring, and I am here for it.
Aaron Jones on why he believes in Jordan Love: “He believes in himself, that’s No. 1. You’ve got to believe in yourself or nobody else is going to believe in you. … He did it the right way, waited his turn and you never heard one peep or complaint.”

I think this kid is going to surprise a lot of skeptics. Not saying he's going to light the world on fire or there won't be growing pains in year 1, but he's more ready and more confident than most think.

The really difficult thing to learn is to retain that confidence after he's thrown his second pick of a game. That's where he has to have the confidence to believe that the next throw into a tight window will be his best throw.
@DH13 posted:Schneider vs. Guter.
Just like Schneider couldn't convince Carroll for a year Gutey had the same problem with Murphy. The real difference was Wilson's last year in Seattle was an almost MVP season and Rodgers production dropped.

And old.

He needs to make mistakes this year and accept them as part of the learning process.

Oh, he's going to set the world ablaze.
It's going to be an interesting preseason to see if or how much the betting lines move based on how the Packers look.
Love gave a great interview. He comes across as very calm and level headed.

No ayahuasca?
AR's quirkiness (I'm being kind) became tiring and a return to normalcy at QB is welcome.
Throw 35 TDs and I could care less
How much less?

Play shitty in playoff games and I could care less than BK could imagine.
@MichiganPacker posted:...but I felt it made no sense to trade Adams and keep Rodgers. You should either build for the future (with no experienced NFL WRs that were better than a #3 wideout on a good team) or keep them both and go all in. ....
It makes sense if Gutekunst had already planned to use Rodgers as a bridge, though it was an expensive way to do so. Keeping Rodgers was a good PR move and gave them another year to try to develop Love.
In other words, bringing in a a stop gap veteran to start over Love for a year maybe has more potential issues, and Gutekunst's on the hot seat if Love doesn't pan out.

That's a really good point of view for Gutey. How expensive is too expensive to keep one's job? Might as well max the credit card and then work with the National Debt Relief company also known as the Jets to secure a buy out.
I think it was real simple. They thought they could still make a run with Rodgers and they felt Love wasn't ready. Their sentiment on Love changed during the season and if they had as much confidence in Love at the start of the season as they did at the end they might have traded Rodgers. I'm sure the FO is much happier falling off their 13 win plateau with Rodgers at the helm rather than Love. Trading Rodgers this offseason looked like the obvious thing to do, last year not so much.
Refreshingly simple, logical and straightforward take.
Unfortunately, that kind of thinking is frowned upon on the web, so I'm going to have to report you to the mods.

A wise, championship coach once said.....
"Getting rid of a guy one year too soon is better than 1 year too late."

Asked Tom Clements how long it will take for him to know if Jordan Love has it, or not: "I don't think you can put a time on it."
— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) May 18, 2023
Clements says Love's developmental has been similar to Aaron Rodgers' timeline. Now just needs to build on it like Rodgers did.
I'll tell you when.....
When he wins a fucking Super Bowl.....that's 'when'
And when Aaron Rodgers says...."It's about time"
That's 'when'
As soon as JL10 tells fans to C-H-I-L-L when he loses his first start.
