With Love, I hope we see a QB1 who gets that football's first and foremost a 'we' thing, and uses encouragement instead of contempt to share his feelings when someone doesn't meet his expectations.

There was a marked difference between the style of Favre's communication with his receivers when they weren't on the same page compared to Rodgers' pissy fits. Favre was always coaching them up, showing them where he wanted them, while Rodgers was more concerned about the range of histrionics he could include in his tantrums.

Let's hope Love's leadership demeanor resembles the Hillbilly, not the Princess.

“Because let’s face it, the Packers are going to struggle this year.”

Jordan Love is not being “thrown into the deep end right away.”

Eh.

He’s entering his 4th year. He’s ready. He’ll be fine, more than fine leading this Packers offense in his role as QB1. I’m convinced he’ll play that position better than his predecessor in the manner intended.

There’s one helluva lot of talent around him, and all he has to do is facilitate for LaFleur according to plan.

Will he make mistakes? Of course. Part of the human condition. Given that, I don’t see Jordan Love making mistakes we cannot overcome.

These young players, all of them, are a more connected, cohesive group, and they’re all-in according to Aaron Jones & Keysean Nixon. We’re about to witness a really special coming together of big youth, power, speed, talent united to achieve greater goals. Out with the old. In with the new.

“All Gas No Fucking Brake,” is now ON!

GPG.

THIS IS GONNA BE FUN!

I have faith in Love and think he will be an outstanding QB, for the GBP, for a long time to come. Yes, there will be bumps and miscues, in the road, but I feel those bumps and miscues will be few and far between. I mean, both Favre and Rodgers gave us their share of bumps and miscues. It's only fair to allow Love to learn from his mistakes and from the mistakes of his predecessors. I hope Love develops a deep connection with his teammates and becomes a proven leader--The kind of leader other teams wish they had, at QB. GO PACK, GO!!!

Let’s get some things straight here.
Who cares what MLF Says.
Love only needs to listen to him.
Not Love him.
Who should he Love?
God, Country , and the Packers.
When you Love your Team.
It’s "can do" across the board.
Put the team first. Nobody else.
And the leadership will be “To infinity and beyond".
(As long as the Buzz is so great.)
It’s ready or not, here I come.
Sucking Ass doesn’t work.
Because No Boss is perfect.
They're intolerable.
If he wants money, he'll earn it!
And this business will be in good hands.

Love’s biggest problem, I suspect, will be inexperienced receivers running routes poorly if not incorrectly.
That will not be his fault, but you can be sure he will be blamed by “fans.”
Heck, Musgrave, Kraft, Wicks, DuBose, Goodson, and Nichols are all 21 or 22, and several had incomplete/disrupted college experiences. Watson, Doubs, Reed, and Melton are 23–the typical age of a red-shirted ROOKIE.
I expect the offense to flourish when the receivers get it right.

Most team’s have struggles no matter what. Though I get what you’re saying Corey. We have a lot of new pieces this coming year and there are just as many opportunities as struggles. Someone mentioned this in another post, but the TE’s for us have been dormant the past couple of years. This opportunity alone with two new athletic TE’s should help tremendously. Can we start the season already please! :)

How does a leader carry himself after a bad incompletion on third down? How does a leader carry himself when an offensive lineman misses a block en route to a sack? How does a leader carry himself when a receiver runs the wrong route?"

Well...If it was our PREVIOUS leader he would have first glared at the sideline, screamed at the O-Linemen and threw the ball down, or ran towards the receiver and started pointing where he was supposed be WHILE screaming and glaring at the sideline. Personally that wasn't ever my type of leadership.

IMO the best leaders ae those who accept responsibility, actually TALK to his teammates and coaches, and NEVER blames anyone or anything else for a loss or bad moment offensively in the game. I'd want a guy at QB who his 52 other brothers on the team would run through a brick wall and defend with every ounce of their being, and he would do the same for his teammates.

My guess is Love already has several if not everyone of his teammates ready to do that. I wonder if Rodgers could claim even half of the team last season would have done that for him.

I mean WHY? The dude didn't give a damn about participating or getting to know all the new additions last year or for SEVERAL of the previous years for that matter. Nor did he ever find a coach or player he couldn't or wouldn't throw under the bus.

Personally, my expectations for this year aren’t too high. That’s because the real problem hasn’t been rooted out yet. Rodgers wasn’t the problem; he was a dedicated QB who wanted to win, and we’re already seeing the effect of his leadership and accountability he brings to the Jets. No, Rodgers was not the problem. Matt LaFleur is.

I still support the decision to trade Rodgers, because we already had his successor in Love, it would get us some nice draft capital, and, from a cap perspective, there was no possible way that we couldn’t trade him.

MLF, though, is the problem with this team. From horrible red zone play calling to terrible personnel and coaching staff decisions, I don’t think he is someone capable of truly leading a team. Sure, he can beat inferior teams in the regular season, but he consistently fails in the playoffs, when it counts.

If you look at Dan Campbell and Mike Vrabel, you will see two excellent coaches who can truly lead and motivate their teams. Despite the fact that Campbell has a losing record as HC, I would say that he’s a better HC than MLF, because he knows how to lead a team, and won’t hesitate to call out someone when they do a bad job (he fired their DBs coach mid season after their 1-6 start).

We have never seen MLF succeed when Rodgers wasn’t playing on an MVP level or when he had Davante Adams. MLF has been riding on the coattails of those two, and this year, I think he will be exposed. The Joe Barry decision will also age horribly, too.

Of course I want the Packers to prove everyone wrong and do well this year, but realistically, I see them finishing 3rd in the division this year, behind the Lions and Bears (narrowly) and ahead of the Vikings.

The only thing that's really changed so far for Love is that his name is at the top of the QB depth chart. He's run most of OTAs and minicamps for the last two-plus years. He was the guy on the field...hopefully he's approached this as the putative leader from that position in the past.

Wait till he gets 7-8 games under his belt before we get drunk on his various talents. If these young guys aren’t motivated to be ready game 1 then there are plenty of others eyeing a 7 figure payday.

What I saw in few press conferences Jordan Love had, he acted like true leader, showing understanding for mistakes (we do not know whose, as he did not mention any name connected to specific mistake) others or he did and showed positive opinion for every player on the 91 roster. He calmly admitted that there is lot to clean from everybody including him, but noticed how players are commited to improve themselves through the practicing. He also offered help to any player if he can help. That is how true leaders acting and taking responsibilities for group of people he should and will lead.

OTAs are time for mistakes. Every practice before TC. TC should be polishing what is learned thruogh off season.

I admitt I'm not patient enough and can not wait to see what pre season/TC will show us what kind of Packers we can expect through the season.

Like with everything else with Love just put it on the list of we don’t know…leadership include. If you want a prediction, go ask his coaches and teammates in Utah how he was.

Because let’s face it, the Packers are going to struggle this year.

I do not buy this statement at all. Just because it is written, in print, on the internet does not make it so. It is Cory’s opinion.
Here is an alternative one, “Because let’s face it, the Packers should be 2-3 games better this year with an overall improved roster, an offensive system the QB buys into, 2 outstanding RB’s and a deep OL.” 11-6 should get us to the post season.

I just read a great article on Wisconsin Sports Heroics, and about Love and some of his WRs. Unfortunately, I can't give you guys a link so I'll try to update you. The title was: Green Bay Packers: Jordan Love has been amazing for young WRs. They interview Wicks and Reed in the article and they were gushing about how accessible and what a great teammate Love has been to them. Wicks stated since they are all about the same age, they can relate to each other and are building a bond. They are growing together. Love stated that the new guys can come to me anytime to ask questions and he can ask them things too. He says he is building a chemistry with them.

In an interview with ESPNs Rob Demovsky,Packers WR coach Jason Vrable stated that last year Rodgers didn't show up until mandatory training camp and was very demanding of the rookie WRs. Showing little patience. Often times Rodgers would yell at the young WRs and throw up his hands in exasperation. So basically instead of trying to acclimate the young WRs to the team and the NFL and help them get better by teaching them as a good teammate would have done, he instead chose to show up late and ridicule them. What a TOOL!

Love said he thinks the WRs relate better to him and he will do what it takes for the TEAM to be successful. I hope you guys can find the article. It was uplifting.

Leadership? I was privileged enough to see an old QB lead a bunch of mostly over-the-hill vets take a team the length of a frozen field against a very good team with everything on the line. That is leadership, and although I've seen other fine examples over the years, that one really sticks in my mind.

IMO, the QB position is mostly about leadership. It's not your arm strength or 3 cone time or hand size, it's your ability to get the job done in the face of maximum adversity. It'll be the measure of Love, and if he can lead men to victory he'll be more successful that either of his predecessors.

"Throwing Love into the deep end right away..." as in, right away after three full years on the roster???

Who was running the offense for all of those OTA's that Aaron Rodgers never attended?

"Learning to handle adversity..." in OTA's? Not even training camp, but OTA's??? Good to know we'll have a guy who's "battle tested" in OTA's. LOL.

And if "LaFleur knows exactly what he has in Love" then what is the point of saying "...because when the season gets here, it’s too late to test out a player’s toughness. A coach needs to know that by the start of the season." Does MLF know what Love has or not?

Just another weird article that has no freakin' clue what it wants to say.

The Packers are struggling in OTA's right now. Largely due to our "standout Utah State quarterback." What makes him a standout? Leading the nation in interceptions?
The running back tandem is non-existent. Dillon aka "Quadriplegic" was nowhere to be found last year. What make you think he will show up this year? Until Love shows he can throw the ball well, every team will pack the box. Jones wont average 4.5 yards per carry. Dillon is all hype.
The right side of our line was terrible last year. The center did nothing. How are they better this year? The left side was crippled last year. This year they are better?

Now lets talk about defense. We have Joe Barry back. That says it all. Kenny Clark was ineffective last year. How did the line get better? Two subs moved in to start. They were subs for a reason. We drafted a pass rusher. Yes we did and he has zero sacks in the NFL. We have a temper tantrum at linebacker. Hopefully he went to kindergarden summer school. Cant wait to see him crying in the olio tunnel after getting tossed for tackling a cheerleader. Who plays safety? The gymnasts husband? Do you think he will want to sit out after missing a tackle? Who plays safety at the line of scrimage. That tacking machine Savage? And will Jaire play off 10 yards on third and three? Only Joemama knows for sure.

Play number one will be a bomb to Watson. He'll drop it stunned by the decapitation of Love. Thanks Nijman for whiffing on the block. Lastink will reevaluate right tackle. Maybe he will put in that Shawn guy.

This team is not better than last years team. This coach is the same old manicured wannabee as last year. This team has Joe Barry for christ's sake. The same Joe as the worthless Joe from Detroit.
Let's count the drops by Watson and Doubs. All you needed to see was play number one last year. Hey we drafted a bunch of huckleberries from the NCAA. Of course none of them were named Jefferson.
Hey Nero Gutekunst we can offer Amari Rodgers and use him as a punt returner.
We got two tight ends with less experience than whats his name Steinbrenner? Steamengine?
Whatever Packer Corey.
After five games call me. I'll be watching the New Pork Dirigibles. What a way to end the run of two great quarterbacks. Thank you Nero Gutekrapst. Hey Caligula Murphy please retire before the NFL draft.
