I started watching football since the play offs last year,(I’m from Portugal)so I really was not here when the packers decided to draft jordan love instead of a guy to help us winning right away, but don’t you all agree that, as a small market that Green Bay is ,we need to stay competitive every year? Or at least try? I really can understand the pick back then because we knew Rodgers was not going to last forever so they were projecting the future instead of having to draft a guy now and possibly be a bad team in the next years. Thanks guys, go pack go

    Small market in the NFL isn’t really a big deal, there’s a salary cap so every team has the same to spend.

    The pick and you thoughts on it basically come down to whether you prefer being good for a long time and hoping to occasionally hit big, or going all in to maximize your chances of winning in one or 2 specific seasons. Both strategies work and can win you a Superbowl. It really just comes down to organizational philosophy. Buccaneers sold out and it worked, Rams, Broncos with Manning, Chiefs built their team the long way so did us and the Patriots.

    I am one of the ones who hated the pick at the time and think we should have tried more to win when the window was there, we didn’t, I moved on. Now I’m looking optimistically and think we are 3-5 years away from the next window opening up for us. Life of a fan.
