Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst has had a successful week. He got a very good haul for 39-year-old Aaron Rodgers. He navigated the NFL Draft superbly. The Packers got players at premier positions and added depth to places that have been very thin.
But now he has to make a decision about his starting quarterback — before dinner time. Does Jordan Love warrant the fully guaranteed fifth-year option price tag of $20.272 million?
Of course the answer is obvious — hell yes he does! The Packers had numerous opportunities to find out if Love could play last year when Rodgers was dealing with an injured thumb on his throwing hand.
