[@theblindcaboose]

I think people are forgetting the animosity that was between them? Or Brady and Garoppolo? Or between Favre and Rodgers, or Rodgers and Love. Roethlisberger and Rudolph. Starting QBs hate backup QBs with potential. The best backup QB in the starting QBs mind is someone who isn't all that good and just there to be their friend. They can become friends after the fact, like with Bledsoe and Brady and Favre and Rodgers, but during it the rook is trying to take the job of the vet and the vet is doing everything in their power to make sure the rook knows jack. Peyton Manning goes down and a "superbowl contending" team wins 2 games.

[@Noah_Tindell]

@@qaxcgyujm Where's the bad part in that? They're both rookies at the end of the day

[@qaxcgyujm]

​​​​​​​​​​​​​@@Noah_Tindellthe bad part is Penix isn't a project and you have the pieces for him to succeed in his first year on offense right now. Love had huge mechanical issues. He could barely hit the throwing nets accurately his rookie year and Rodgers had issues with his release his rookie year out of cal that they spent an entire year changing. Penix doesn't have release or accuracy problems most had him the most NFL ready of any of the QBs. Due to Penix age if you sit him the time he's supposed to start most QBs have started multiple years and are in their prime instead the Falcons will be evaluating if Penix can still play or not pushing 30. Jordan and Aaron both were 24 when they were starters in the NFL. Packers didn't sign a QB then draft his replacement 2 months later this isn't the same scenario as Rodgers and Love or Favre and Rodgers. I wouldn't be surprised if the Falcons fanbase and media turns on Cousins before their timeline on Penix even ends despite Cousins cap issues. That never was gonna happen in Green Bay since they were legends of the franchise so Love and Rodgers backing them up didn't become much of a distraction until years down the road when Rodgers and Favre started acting crazy in the off-season.

I think the main issue with drafting a rookie when you have a vet is how long the vet is under contract. Penix is behind Cousins for 4 years, love was behind Rodgers for 3 years. A year or 2 isn't anything crazy but 3-4 is when people question it.

[@1boiboy206]

[@brooksorlando4510]

It depends on the prospect. Younger, raw ones who have physical upside, I agree with. Like if AR was sat his rookie yr, I'd understand that. But guys who are 24, 5th yr seniors who are refined, like Burrow, I think are better off just playing. Ride wave of momentum from college into their prime.

[@jman0022]

[@jeffbarnett3702]

Depends on your definition of success. There is a chance the Packers cost themselves a Super Bowl trading up to take Love as they were on the cusp and could have had a difference maker with that draft pick. Where the Packers were at 30 they could have had Higgins, Pittman at receiver or Taylor, Swift at running back.

[@UnbiasedPep]

Or even if you traded up for Love then they could have traded up for Jefferson. That would have been a difference maker. But they started worrying about the future. Defense has been terrible since they won the Super Bowl so a defensive guy would have been helpful

[@qaxcgyujm]

Packers are a franchise that's never tried to go all in. They would rather be a well oiled machine. They've always been one of the youngest teams in the league since Ted Thompson was GM and now Brian Gutekunst who was a student of Ted is doing the same thing. They'd rather not risk losing a long term competitive product on the field.

[@swaggpappi1130]

[@dustinmirr979]

I like the approach of Favre to Rodgers as far as not forcing teaching but instead letting Rodgers decide if he wants to learn to be a great QB. Thats the first indicator if someone wants to be great or not. I also noticed comments about coaching and for sure Tom Clements was a huge influence on Rodgers, and now Love. However, I feel Mike Holmgren also deserves a huge amount of credit for his instruction to Favre and the trickledown effect that's had in GB. Here's to at least 12 more years of owning the bears.

[@joemckim1183]

Even Brady sat behind Bledsoe for over a year.

[@lampini]

I feel like this goes without saying. Having a rookie sir for a year or two just makes sense compared to throwing him in his rookie year. I feel like most people would agree that that’s the ideal situation for a QB to walk into. But not all franchises are fortunate enough to be in that situation

[@andrewseburg4095]

Lions fan here. Love is the real deal and I never expected him to be. Congrats Pack, you have another good one.

[@dustyburwell592]

Mahomes was behind smith for a year. Mentorship is for sure under rated. I think the most awkward thing about Penix in ATL is that he’s already 24. It’s one thing to sit behind a vet at 21 like Love did, he got to start at 24. If penix sits for a few years he’ll be pushing thirty before he takes a starting snap.

[@Rowsy91]

Two things: 1.

As we all know, the big knock on Maye is his footwork, and I don’t think he starts until Mayo is happy with it, even if the team goes 0-17. I would hope Brisset doesn’t suck enough that we go winless with him starting, but if that’s what it takes to get Maye’s feet to an NFL level, so be it. It just means we get to draft a stud at receiver in 2025.

[@Pnw208]

I honestly don’t think people have ever seen Rodgers play in college. He was so awkward! The dude was like a robot, I’ve never seen anything like it. Rodger’s play style completely transformed over his time behind Favre. If Rodger’s started day 1 and tried to play with the his arm up by his ear marching with a wide stance in the pocket like he did in college he would have never got a second contract. His style in year 3 was night and day opposites from his college play. Love mimics Rodgers style too. There were times last season I forgot I was watching love because it looked so much like Rodgers. It’s not just mechanics and style it’s leadership, the knowledge of the playbook and NFL defenses. It’s how to lead, and also what not to do… when you start day 1 in a crappy organization you don’t have anyone to look to. There is drama everywhere. You don’t have time to fix anything so your bad habits become permanent. You don’t learn leadership from anyone so you wing it and may develop bad leadership qualities too. Most of these guys have 2-4 different offensive coordinator/ HCs in their first 4 years too so they never get comfortable. Having 3 years to learn 1 offense, how to perfect your craft physically, mentally, and habitually you have a huge leg up on your first start.

[@jordanflores5687]

They just need to sit to learn and adapt to the NFL I've been saying this for decade's now 95% of these guys aren't ready like that......franchises need more patience coaches need more patience and willingness to adapt and work with a qbs strengths instead of forcing their way on them work with your qb not against him adjust your playbook to them not the other way around but too much ego involved for that to ever be a reality so you get these qbs who are out the league in 2 and a half seasons

[@tnox219]

Even teams who don't have a star quarterback don't truly develop a second quarterback and I never understood why. Give them some time to learn a system and if the one guy isn't advancing maybe promote from within. Most times they sign these guys just to fill a roster spot in practice, but the Packers draft them and develop them in their system. I think that's why you see Packers backups having signature games or finding careers elsewhere.

[@bgfarm857]

For every Love who sits and watches and gets better, there’s a Stroud who jumps in instantly and helps turn the whole franchise around in one season. That being said, every team with a franchise QB need to pay attention to what the Packers have been able to do, they literally have a 100% success rate with 1st round QBs. And have had an MVP caliber QB(I’m assuming Love is gonna look even better this year) constantly since the early 90s. Like 30 straight years, so if the Patriots would have picked a 1st round QB and actually kept them to sit until Brady left maybe they’d still near the top of the league instead of what actually happened

Who was the last 1st overall pick to go into the NFL and be elite right away? It has happened before but it definitely takes a really special type of someone to do it. CJ Stroud is a rare human

[@rohanshah7559]

T-law has been decent, but not elite. He’s the last guy I can think of who has any measure of success as someone who got forced to start right away as the #1 overall pick

[@JP-1844]

Penix gameplay is completely different from kirks. Itd be like taking lamar jackson to sit behind brady. Completely different playmaking abilities. Like if you think the dark horse if this rookie QB class is Bo Nix. I was hoping i could have gotten him in my dynasty league but didn't play out that way.

[@phillipdeignan7210]

With this topic how did they not even mention the Vikings??

[@pete6705]

As a Pats fan, I respect everything Brady says, but I want to see if the guy we just drafted is any good. I’d rather not wait another year while he sits on the bench

[@joshbeezley4158]

It's too late for this, but you should have stuck what you did with Brady. They drafted him, let him sit and he balled out after that. That drivel is what teams like the Bears do. They throw them into the fire and they bust.

[@pete6705]

@@joshbeezley4158 I’m not saying it’s the right thing to do. But it will be frustrating to watch a whole season go by without seeing if our new #3 draft pick QB is any good or not

[@scumfuckflowerT]

​@@pete6705you'd rather see them play when they aren't ready so they flame out then you call them a "bust" and draft someone else and also play them to early and they also become a bust and so on and so on just because your impatient ?

Nobody and the def still sucked

[@Ra-jx4xd]

Yea but other teams don’t have a aaron rodgers brett favre or Alex smith to sit behind them of a year to learn most rookie just get thrown out

[@GP-wu1eu]

but yeah make fun of the falcons for trying to do this exact ting lol

[@royhobbs5167]

What if Atlanta did the smartest thing in the draft this year??? Cousins not a bad qb to learn from!!

[@rohanshah7559]

I think the issue is that they picked the wrong rookie to do it for. If they’re gonna sit a guy, they should have done Mcarthy or Nix, not Penix who is 24 and not considered a “raw prospect”

[@royhobbs5167]

@@rohanshah7559 That’s true. But if Penix comes in at 26 and was top ten in the league for the next eight years, that’s a damn good pick!!

[@elizabethgodfrey1033]

Mac Jones wasn’t developed as a Rookie! It’s why he crashed. He had a lot of turnovers too. Mac should have waited until his 2nd or 3 yr to be QB1. He was a alternate as a Pro Bowl & only got 2 votes as Rookie of the year. He froze because he got saturated too fast! 2021, He got 3Xs more weapons than they gave Cam Newton in 2020. 😳

[@axe2grind244]

Theres nothing that suggests it does anything. If every Hall of Fame QB played right off the bat most if not all would still be HOF'ers.

[@toddharrison9553]

I know Pittsburgh fan, Rudolph and Big Ben, Rudolph started to full fill his potential then they let him go.

[@efrenarzate4758]

haven't you guys been clowning the falcons over the past month for setting this exact scenario up?

[@Noah_Tindell]

Exactly, the Falcons deserve an apology. All this just because Brady said it??

[@ishyameru6232]

No Kirk isn't familiar with that system nor has he established any culture in Atlanta and Pennix is old so he shouldn't be sitting in the first place as the 8th pick 😂😂

[@Noah_Tindell]

@@ishyameru6232 He knows the system, lived in Atlanta and his wife and her family are from Atlanta and 24 isn't old when QB's are playing into their 40's. Everything you said is already debunked

Once you're a Top QB in this league, your best ability becomes availability. That's the one thing Andrew Luck, unfortunately, never got taught. He would put his body on the line just to gain an extra yard and it caught up to him eventually.

[@goldenageofdinosaurs7192]

There are so many times I want the guys on my team (not just the QB) to step out of bounds, or go down instead of fighting for a couple extra yards. There are enough times where they really have to put their bodies on the line, but I like to see them take as few ‘injury causing plays’ as possible. I know it’s not old school, smashmouth football, but I think going into the postseason with a healthy squad can reap a lot of benefits.
