Earthquake thoughtfully asked:1.  I feel like I used to feel teaching when one of my favorite students graduated.  I'd feel happy for them, I was glad I had the opportunity to watch them grow, but I would still miss them.   I am feeling the same thing about Rodgers.  We were all blessed to have him.  For many many years, he elevated this team well about the talent level he had to work with.  As I said in another thread, I hope he win the SB there (and plays 65% of the plays.)

2.  I feel eager to see what Love can do.   We (talking to myself here...I) have to have reasonable expectations however.  Rodgers went 6-10 IIRC his first year.   He is physically a tremendous talent.  The question is his CPU and heart.   I think he has 'it'...but we will see.

3. I think players will blossom without Rodgers sucking all the air out of the room.   He WAS always the story.  I think guys will be able to step up from a public persona perspective, and it will be interesting to see who leads.

4.  For the coaching staff, there is not more "Rodgers changed the play"...or...."Rodgers wanted a hybrid system".  Let's see how good you are with these groceries...your jobs depend on it.

I'm still irritated that we didn't dump Rodgers last year, after two consecutive 13-3 campaigns, when we probably could have gotten a first-round pick for him instead of having to swap first-rounders to get rid of him. I'm also feeling a little vindicated, because I always thought people who were hoping for a pair of first-round picks were wildly overestimating Rodgers' value. 

I think I was the only person in the chat room cheering when they drafted Jordan Love, so I'm looking forward to seeing what the young sprout can accomplish.

As far as trading Rodgers after back to back 13-3 seasons, I would say that bordered on the impossible for any sane GM, but at the same time, the extension contract was insane as well. We got plenty for Aaron, especially when factoring any alternative to this trade. Personally, I think Aaron still has it, but I don't mind watching him prove it in New York. My biggest thrill would be watching Love surprise the hell out of everyone this year. The dynamics of the position itself has changed so much over these years that I wouldn't be as surprised as so many with lesser expectations if Love actually crushes it. Still hated the pick at the time. Hope you can come back and tell us all that you told us so.

I think Love will be fine. Yes, there will be growing pains, just as there are for any new starting QB.  The good thing is, it won't be a that bad of a schedule he will be going against, as the Packers were not that good last year at 8-9. When Aaron Rodgers was the new QB, he had a tough group of teams to go up against his first season as a starter.

My new name for the 2023 Green Bay Packers......"The LOVE BOAT"!!!😁

Heck, that offense made Jared Goff look like a top five QB in the conference.  The Packers with Aaron Rodgers went 8-9 in 2022.  I think if Jordan Love and Packers get 8 or more wins in 2023, we have optimism for the future.

I have no regrets taking the shot we did...who could have known we would be down our best two linemen most of the year.

Vikes fans here in Minneapolis think their long nightmare is over.

Pretty sure it's not.
