Head coach Kyle Shanahan and GM John Lynch understand that as long as they have quality route runners on the field, Shanahan’s play designs can win. You must have a true No. Get ready for a whole offseason spent dissecting this move from every angle, then get ready for another one or two years of it afterward—presumably, that’s how long the Packers plan for Love to sit behind Aaron Rodgers.Rodgers is notorious for remembering every slight, and by default, all the speculation about his and Matt LaFleur’s relationship gets rejuvenated after it had been put to bed by this team’s success in 2019.Let’s just focus on the “for now:” Rodgers is still elite.
