Brad Biggs: Packers did more than prepare for a future without Rodgers – they prioritized the QB position. That’s something Bears historically have failed to do. | Charlotte Observer

After the first round of the NFL draft last week, Bears fans were gleeful the Packers traded up to select Utah State quarterback Jordan Love.

As the last 12 seasons have proved, Aaron Rodgers doesn't always need a ton of help to maintain control of the NFC North rivalry. So instead of outfitting him with a playmaker or wide receiver from a deep draft class, Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst peered into the future and chose Love, putting Rodgers' potential replacement in the same room as him sooner than anyone imagined.

Yes, Rodgers is 36 but signed a four-year, $134 million extension in August 2018 that runs through 2023.
