How are the Packers so good at drafting quarterbacks?

They went from Favre to Rodgers to Love
Most franchises have a period with bust draft picks or journeymen while they’re trying to right the ship

not flame
Part of the reason Packers sucked for like 25 years post-Lombardi & pre-Holmgren is because of their governance structure. We famously are a community owned team, but what this meant for a long time is that the team was run by the local good ol' boys club. So there wasn't just one shitowner fucking things up, there was a cabal fucking things up.
So you got things like Bart Starr being coach for 9 years, garnering a .408 record (he was also GM for 5 of those 9 years). Starr was a fantastic QB but it was reckless to install him as coach and GM, and retarded to not move on sooner.
Things changed in 1989 when Bob Harlan (announcer Kevin Harlan's dad) was promoted to president. "Harlan became the first team president whose background was primarily in football; all previous presidents of the Packers were local civic leaders or businessmen in the Green Bay, Wisconsin-area."
Harlan brought on Ron Wolf as GM and they've been run pretty professionally ever since.
