I know the owner wanted some answers last night....
Not the same situation...
-Jordan Love was younger than Penix. If Penix waits as long as Love did, Penix will be in his age 27 season as a first time starter.
-Jordan Love was the 26th overall pick, not the 8th.
-Kirk Cousins isn't going to pull an Aaron Rodgers and win back-to-back MVPs to quiet the dysfunction of having a 1st round backup QB and people calling for the backup to become the starter.
-The Packers had the 15th scoring offense/9th scoring defense in 2019 before drafting Love. The Falcons had the 26th and 18th despite playing in a terrible division.
-The Packers didn't just bring in a brand new starting QB and make their very first impression with him of them doing this.
Plus while it's nice now for the Packers to have a QB... they wasted 2 MVP seasons (and thus 2 Super Bowl shots) from Rodgers after being in the NFCC the year prior. You put Tee Higgins on those '20 and '21 Packers teams and they probably win at least 1 SB. In '21 their #2 WR was Allen Lazard with 513 receiving yards. WRs not named Adams in their 2021 playoff loss had 1 catch for 9 yards and they lost by 3. Love could be good and still never make it to the SB even once.
