I get that you have to coddle your superstars and Rodgers needs to feel included in everything the #Packers do, but when it comes to picking players not a single guy in the Ron Wolf tree would allow someone in the locker room to dictate who he drafts. Wolf himself said ...
this week that if he liked a guy a lot, he would absolutely have done what Gutekunst did in drafting Love. The GM job is to look after the long-term future of the organization. No one can predict when a guy& #39;s talent will fall off the cliff and so you have to be prepared. Besides,
he didn& #39;t draft a ready-made QB. He drafted a guy everyone knew would need a few years to develop, so there wasn& #39;t a threat of him taking over anytime soon. It makes me wonder if Love has looked really good in practice and Rodgers sees the writing on the wall or if it& #39;s just ...
the pick of Love that ticks him off so much. I do know Rodgers likes to have control - shoot, he got Roll out the barrel and beer bottle races back up on the video board at Lambeau Field -- and the Packers give him a lot, but having a say in who is drafted just doesn& #39;t fly.
