Aaron Rodgers spent 18 seasons with the Green Bay Packers, and few thought he would ever leave.
However, in recent years, the relationship grew tumultuous, and he was traded in the offseason to the New York Jets.
The Packers selected Jordan Love, Aaron Rodgers’ replacement, in the first round, right when they needed some offensive support.
Rodgers wound up winning back-to-back MVPs, but that didn’t prevent the relationship from falling apart.
Rodgers finally came to the conclusion that it was time to move on while Love waited for his turn.
Packers legend Donald Driver told Fox News Digital in a recent interview Love is “the future of the Packers” and can eventually be compared to Rodgers and Brett Favre.
But Driver wouldn’t commit just yet to saying Green Bay made the right choice to trade Rodgers.
“I will not say that they made the incorrect choice, nor will I say that they made the right choice. There comes a point where both sides has to be happy. It’s like a marriage,” Driver said. “They will break up if one of them is not happy, and both sides have to be happy. I think that’s what happened. I believe that at some point, they both decided to part ways because they were unhappy.”
Driver wants Packers fans to be patient when it comes to Love, who has struggled since taking over for the four-time MVP.
“At the end of the day, Green Bay Packers fans, we have been spoiled. We’ve had two Hall of Fame quarterbacks over the last 30 years. You can’t complain about that, right? And both of them turned out to be Hall of Famers and great players. But Jordan Love can be that, too.
“It’s gonna take him time. I believe the Packers are prepared to give him some time. He sat three years behind Aaron. Aaron sat two or three years behind Brett. So, it’s a learning thing. It’s a process. To succeed, Jordan Love needs talented people around him. That’s what it’s gonna take.”
