Yeah, until we draft a WR in the first round, you will never be able to criticize a GB QB. Because the excuse you used for AR is valid for Love. Never mind that even the 5th round rookie was able to make more use of rookie WRs in 3/4s of the first preseason game than Rodgers over the last how many years (except Watson).

I suspect that if there were a draft do-over, Jennings, Jordy and Adams would have been taken in the 1st round.

And now Watson, plus probably Reed and Musgrave.

Both Rodgers and now Love have had their share of 1st-round-quality receivers.

I agree.

The validty of the argument was never very strong. Although I have heard some say the it was Roodgers who elevated them to their high level of performance. It certainly helps having a great QB, but much still depends on the player putting in the work.

Conversely there are a lot of WRs drafted in the 1st round that stink. Regardless of who is the QB.

Reed and Musgrave haven't even played a single snap in a game that matters. It's far too early to make such claims in my opinion.
