I have been on the Jordan Love train since prior even to the 2020 draft. Many of you on here have gotten tired of hearing me say I not only wanted Jordan Love but called the draft selection. Been waiting very impatiently for him to become QB1 for 2-years now. I expect Jordan is going to be one hell of a good QB, particularly now with some very good young skilled players being added to go along with the experienced OL & RB's. This is going to be one hell of a fun year! Let's support Jordan throughout the year along with the young players/team.

It's still almost 4 months until we see him starting a real game that counts, and a ton of stuff can happen between now and then.

My biggest concern is injuries to the offensive line, but other than that, I think we're going to be a better team on offense this year. I've been doing some digging and we weren't very good on offense last year, just like we weren't very good on offense in our last playoff loss. But we've almost completely overhauled our WR/TE situation since then, and no QB in history has been prepared better by his organization than Love.

He's going to show why he was drafted before Jalen Hurts.

LH, that's big talk in reference to Jalen Hurts. I sincerely hope you are right.

Going back to that draft, I thought the packers selected a qb a year early but then thought, hey the front office must really like this guy so I got on the Love train.

This will be a fun year, I hope and the following year with the players taking a leap, it should be even more fun to watch.

Jordan Love’s best season in college was better than Aaron Rodgers’ best season. That has to carry some weight about Love’s abilities walking in, despite his coming from a different conference. He also was widely regarded as having the strongest arm of all the QBs in his draft class.

Can you say “deep ball?” I knew you could!

I think Packer fans are going to realize the magic Gutekunst & LaFleur saw in him when they picked Love in 2020. He was perfect to run LaFleur’s system.

Get a load of these comments by Bob McGinn on Jordan Love from February:

"They love Jordan Love. They think he’s the second coming now. They’ve seen enough in practice for three years, that they believe he is like Rodgers 2.0. That’s where this organization is coming from right now. They have turned the page, just like they did to Favre in June and July, those months in the summer of 2008 and I don’t see it changing.”



“Even if Rodgers comes back to collect that $59 million, I think he’s the backup. He could try to ruin the whole operation. But he knows that’s not going to happen and he’s going to accept a trade somewhere. He knows he can’t live with that, with the Packers’ fans and everybody. It’s Love’s turn. The organization’s going that way. And that’s the way it is. This is everybody, I’m told. This is Murphy. This is LaFleur. This is Gutekunst. This is the whole shooting match. They’ve turned the page. They don’t see Rodgers as a guy who’s really working hard anymore. They see a guy who — when he reported this year — his body wasn’t so-called ‘tight’ and strong as it was. They see a guy who blew off the offseason last year. … They’re done. It’s a hard guy to be done with.”

We’re on the same page Knock…..I think I have half of my down votes from 3 years ago and from comments after the KC game supporting the pick and him…lol. I even have a Love jersey and wore it at the KC game. We made up signs that said. “All you need is Love” & “Love is all you need”. Great fun…People love it.

I just don’t understand those who knock it…..no pun intended. It’s basically the same situation we had with Favre and that turned out pretty darn well. Anyways, we are in the minority and that’s ok. Funny now thou how many feel he will be good now that Rodgers has moved on….Unfortunately, those same folks will be the first ones to critique his every move. Human nature to some extent.

Only thing I don’t agree with your above, is his pass catching weapons are few and far between. Yes, there is potential, but no really proven commodity. Yes, Watson and Doubs both showed potential while also showing rookie mistakes. Except, for those two really nobody else has any starting experience. It will take time and I expect some offensive struggles, especially in the first half of the games.

I hope that Jordan is the next great QB for GB and that it sends a loud message around the NFL on how to develop a rookie QB. Watching and learning from the current starter for a few years instead of being thrown in the deep end only to panic and drown.

Year after year we see top college QBs with great potential come into the league and are overwhelmed only to be labeled a bust.
This could be the template for development instead of desperately throwing an entire team’s success on a rookie no matter how good he looked in college.

Burrow and Mahomes are outliers. Only 14 rookies have started a playoff game in NFL history.

Jordan sounds like he truly appreciates what Clements and Rodgers have done with his progress.

Here’s to Jordan Love, Tom Clements and the Packer way.

BTW, Colin Cowherd blasted the Packers today for peaching patience for Jordan Love. I don’t have the link but it’s on youtube

Ron61, I agree that we do it the right way, but how many teams field HOF QBs that they can sit a rookie to learn behind? We've been very fortunate in that department (ask the rest of the NFCN).

Most teams that have had HOF QBs STILL haven't been able to produce QBs like GB has turned out behind our HOF QBs that have gone on to be successful on other teams. Teams with billionaire owners just want to buy a QB and don't have the will to do it the Packer way.

Mahommes actually sat for the first year. I agree, although I don't think 3 years is necessary, One year like Mahommes makes sense. Cowherd is wrong on this one. I often wondered how many would've done better if they learned for a year.

Have to give Jordan a lot of credit for keeping his trap shut and biding his time.

Besides the obvious, I’m looking forward to learning about his personality.
Is he funny? Is he self-critical? Does he defend his teammates or throw them under the bus? Etc etc etc

I don't know who down thumbed you, but that's a good point about his leadership, TK.

I'll never forget those laser looks after a dropped pass or if the receiver wasn't where the ball ended up (even if thrown errantly).

In the beginning Rodgers would go talk a receiver through it on the sideline. Towards the end he just made them figure it out on their own and didn't go back to them sometimes for whole games.

Yes, and I didn’t mean it as a direct slap at 12. This idea is widely debated in all sports: when one player “gets in another player’s face”, is he showing “fiery leadership”? Or is he being a douche? I think it really has to be a case by case basis. If it’s Tom Brady or Michael Jordan, it’s looked at differently than if it’s coming from a less accomplished player.
Back in prehistoric times, when I competed, I was extremely hard on myself after a screwup. When a coach or another player gave me that treatment, it was…very unproductive. But every player reacts differently. And that is where leadership and knowing your players and teammates enters the picture.
Heck, even Lombardi knew how to do it, and that was a very different era.

TK, funny you mention that, because Team Captain, Aaron Jones said in his presser yesterday:

“We all love Jordan here, and like I said, he has everyone’s full respect and we’re all going to lay it out on the line for him… All the guys buy into him. He’s lovable. He’s funny. He’s caring. He has everything you look for in a quarterback to command a room.”
