Colin Cowherd just trashed the Packers with the most bizarre argument possible, and the comparison completely misses the mark

The only point that is reasonable is about the lack of blue-chip players on the roster, something that we have discussed here for quite some time. However, it's wild to compare the Packers to the Colts at this moment.

First, because their quarterback situations couldn't be more different. Even if you hate Jordan Love as a player, it's impossible to say that he is anything close to where Anthony Richardson is at. Richardson was a higher draft pick who hasn't shown any proof of concept that he is a viable starter. There's a real chance of Daniel Jones being the Week 1 starter in Indy. Daniel Jones.

A fair discussion around Jordan Love is if he is an elite quarterback or "just" a really, really good one. Last year, the Packers were fourth in DVOA and third in passing DVOA with a wide receiver group that obviously affected the efficiency of the offense. Love elevated the unit, even playing hurt for most of the season.

Moreover, it's unfair to compare Brian Gutekunst to Chris Ballard. Even though they have similar preferences in terms of scouting, prioritizing athletic players, Gutekunst's track record with draft picks, strategy, and quarterback success is much, much better.

There's a real risk that Ballard and Richardson both won't be on the Colts a year from now. Meanwhile, the Packers have a strong foundation with Gutekunst, Love, and head coach Matt LaFleur.

The Packer Way is certainly not perfect, and there are real reasons to criticize the model. But comparing Green Bay to a team they beat last year with a backup quarterback who had been acquired two weeks before for a seventh-round pick in Malik Willis is obviously not the proper way of doing so.
