On Nov. 1 last year, Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst met with the media. It wasn't for a victory lap.
The Packers were 2-5. Over the previous five games they averaged 15.6 points. In Jordan Love's first season as a starter he had a passer rating of 78.2 and a completion percentage of 57.7%, both unacceptable numbers for a regular starting QB. We know how the rest of the movie went, but on that day Love's future with the Packers was very much in question.
"I think we’ve got 10 games left," Gutekunst said.
