Last year, the controversy only escalated as Love sat at the bottom of the depth chart at QB3, behind Tim Boyle. An obvious criticism was that if Love wasn't even as good as Tim Boyle, then why waste a 1st round pick on him?
There's a lot of criticism to be made, but that particular point doesn't really hold a lot of water.
Just because Love was behind Boyle doesn't mean he wasn't better and it certainly doesn't mean he won't be better.
All it means is that Boyle was better suited to be the backup quarterback at that time.
