"I think Aaron and Tim are at a great place and will be at a great place," Getsy said. "But the two young guys, it's going to be a demanding training camp for them because they don't even know exactly what the drill is that we're going to do yet. They've only seen a video of it.
"They don't know what it feels like for any of that stuff. They haven't had to say a cadence or say a play in the huddle with the team."
Getsy says the atmosphere amongst the quarterbacks has been positive, especially in Rodgers' case. As much as has been made of Love's arrival, Rodgers has been receptive to the rookie and has his focus set on the 2020 season and taking the next step in Head Coach Matt LaFleur's offense.
To that end, Getsy has seen an "extremely motivated" Rodgers who wants to improve upon Green Bay's 14-win season in 2019 that ended one game shy of the Super Bowl.
"His input through this offseason has maybe been the best I've been around," Getsy said. "We've included him in so much and we needed him to be included in so much. He's been huge. He's clarified things for us, we've clarified things for him.
"I feel like there's no question that we're moving into this summer with our staff being on the same page with him, as good as I've ever been with him. I think he's in a great place."
There still are a lot variables and unknowns the Packers will be working through in the weeks and months ahead, but Getsy doesn't see any "insurmountable" challenges in front of the Packers, crediting the plan LaFleur and coordinator Nathaniel Hackett put forth for the offense during these uncertain times.
As a young coach with his own head-coaching aspirations one day, Getsy has taken a lot away from the NFL's work-from-home offseason. Once life harkens back to a sense of normalcy, Getsy believes there are techniques and exercises he did this spring that'll stay with him as he moves forward in his coaching career.
"That's the beauty of the offseason, is you try to take some moments to catch your breath," Getsy said. "The beginning of this pandemic deal was, I think, rough on a lot of people, just because it was a new thing for us
"But I think after a couple weeks of practice and doing it, I think we all got much better at it, and hopefully we will be able to implement it in some way in the future."
