remember this word?

Maybe im wrong, I certainly can respect and see your side of the debate. I just disagree with it myself. I think the staff has had a side eye turned at Love since day one and there are all kinds of conclusions they can draw from a year of practice.
How does he command the practice squad huddle? Can He remember the plays hes asked to execute? Is he accurate? Does he make the right read?
Lots of answers to be gathered. Nothing final of course, that comes on gameday. I just think they have "some" "pretty good idea" of what they have, and that amount is way more than many are considering. They have had the guy in the QB room for a year and every practice, I think they know alot.
As far as the third string and practice squad, wouldnt that be who goes up against the #1 Packer D in practice? Just playing an offense that resembles the opponents?![]()
While yes you can gleam some things like, "is Love accurate, does he have the arm we thought we did, do teammates respect him, does he remember the plays, does command the huddle etc.", there is still a lot of unknowns after just one year of play.
Rodgers didn't have the respect in 2005. He had shown some traits and shown command of the huddle, but it wasn't until the 2006 QB school that MM said he took that first leap.
Just because there is still unknown about Love after one year does not make him a failure or a bad selection. Year 2 is where you would expect to see more of that growth, confidence, ability etc. Internally, I would expect this is the training camp where coaches will see if they have something in Love or not.![]()

I do agree there is still much more to know, I just think much more is known than some are giving credit for. Just my opinion, probably not changing any minds tho![]()

I stick with my point of MOST though do have the physical gifts, most can make all the throws and have strong arms, and most ( at least now days) have the speed and agility to escape pressure and the pocket as long as they see it coming, so it's my contention that almost 2/3 rd bust because they lack the mental ability to play football at the nfl level given the time restraints teams allow prior to starting them, it's the main reason I don't want us to rush Love into action.
