Which if I'm being honest is just fine with me, and I think it's fine with the Packers, too.
We've been watching a roster overhaul happen the past 3 years, converting the team to a defense and run game first construction. My personal feeling is that a lot of the dysfunction we have seen during that time period has been Rodgers struggling to adjust his style of play to match a team whose makeup was changing to one not centered around otherworldly QB play.
I think the FO fully realized the odds of them landing a third tier 1+ QB in a row approached zero, so they wanted to tool for a team that could be successful with someone who is just a guy a QB. If love turns out to be more than that, great. But I think they intend to contend even if he is just someone that can hand the ball off and complete <10 yard dump passes.
As someone who has been watching the team for over 30 years, it's honestly exciting. And I will take any indication that our offense can be remotely successful as a big win.
