Packers take the Beatles advice on Draft Day, "All You Need Is Love!"

Aaron Rodgers saw one of the Best years of his career in 2016. He completed 65.7% of his passes and threw for 40 touchdowns. Rodgers touchdown percentage that season was a decent 6.6%, and In 2017 Rodgers only played in 7 games but his completion percentage fell to 64.7 while his touch percentage improved to 6.7%.

In 2018 Aaron's numbers dipped. He finished the year with a 62.3 completion percentage rate and a touchdown percentage of 4.2%. In 2019 the Packers went 13-3 but Rodgers numbers still weren't good as he only completed 62% of his passes and his touchdown percentage only increased to 4.2%. 

Excluding the 2013 and 2017 seasons, Rodgers has thrown nearly 600 attempts a year since 2008. After two significant collar bone injuries, a dip in keys stats and the fact that the quarterback will be 37 in December, The Packers made a move.

I am not a packers and don't know whether or not the stat drop was due to extenuating circumstances. I'm also not going to pretend like I know if he's the same player he was prior to his injury. Nor do I know who's responsible for the Packers 2019 record. 

Shane Mickle of Clutch point wrote "The Green Bay Packers have selected former Utah State Aggies quarterback Jordan Love with the No. 26 overall pick in the NFL Draft after a trade with the Miami Dolphins." This was shocking to many around the world. 

"Aaron Rodgers in March on the possibility of the Packers drafting a quarterback: "No matter who you bring in, they're not going to be able to beat me out anytime soon." Tweeted Field Yates of ESPN at 1127 pm, probably right after the the Packers picked Love.

I am sure Aaron Rodgers has some strong feelings about this and it looks we'll get to find out soon enough, As Nico Beato of Clutch Point wrote in an article "Prior to the draft, Rodgers stated in the Pat McAfee Show that he will be the first to welcome the Packers’ newest member with a phone call. In light of recent developments, however, it will be very interesting on how the current dynamic plays out in Green Bay."

Two questions many have going forward are, Will Rodgers swallow his pride and mentor Love, and two will he be humble enough to make that phone call? 

Packer fans for along time have fought with Patriots' fans over who's the G.O.A.T., Now that Rodgers has his "Heir Apparent", let's see him out play his contract and force the Packers to fall out of "Love" with Love. That's a G.O.A.T. move. Is Rodgers up to the task?

I doubt it, read what Mickle wrote on Love. "Jordan Love looks an NFL quarterback and has good mobility and athleticism that will help him in the NFL. Love will stay in the pocket, but he is also strong on the run and can make accurate throws. He has a quick release and his throwing motion is clear. He also has a strong arm and he knows it. He will air it out with great accuracy.

The big knocks on his game have to do with some football IQ. After the snap, he sometimes fails to read defenses changing which could account for some of his interceptions during the 2019 season. He can hit the deep ball, but at times he is too aggressive and will try to force the ball a place it probably shouldn’t go." 

Love's risks remind me of Rodgers some how.

If the Packers can develop Love and put him in a situation where they can avoid his risks, Love might end up being a good quarterback. This is a big gamble but will it payoff, or did the Dolphins just sucker the Packers?
