Why? Accuracy issues. That's tough to teach - in most cases, you either have it or you don't. I could just be lucky, but I thought Favre was going to be huge in the 92 preseason, thought Brunell and Hasselbeck would be good early, and thought Rodgers had all the tools, but just needed the game to slow down (though I didn't think he'd be the GOAT). I don't see that from Love, but I suppose greatness could have many paths.
And so Rodgers might be a goon about the pandemic, but he's a damn treasure as a QB. Don't take him for granted - we will not see this level of play for a very long time, if ever again.
If we trade him for a haul, at best we become a dominant defense that can make an occasional playoff run if healthy, but never a perennial contender (like the 49ers or Browns).
We need to do whatever it takes to keep him. The brass better not get cute and think a few first round studs (maybe) is going to replace what he does.
Man. I think accuracy is important but I don’t see why it isn’t a skill that can improve.
Now pocket presence and keeping eyes downfield is really important and he has that.
I also like that he was doing the RPO and getting really good quick and accurate throws out on the first couple of passes. I’m not sure what he will become but the more I see him the more I am seeing good foundational pieces to him.
