10. Up here in Packerland they let new QBs sit on the bench a few years before starting.

Aaron Rodgers was drafted in 2005 but sat on the bench till 2008 while Brett Favre started.

Jordan Love was drafted in 2020 but sat on the bench will 2023 while Aaron Rodgers started.

I don't think its a bad idea to develop a young QB for a few years. Love is doing ok, and I think he's going to be another great one.

He's shown flashes, but also a lot of inconsistency True Dough Nov 2023 #14
