Basically anyone but the Chiefs and that is solely drive off the 3 in a row as a Packer fan. If I had a choice I'd pick the Bills because if I wasn't a Packer fan I could see rooting for the Bills.

ain't that a cute comment, "well lik.

Cute, eh? You implied he was smug with no emotion thus he was no leader. Perhaps I should have said highly regarded? If Love is as aloof as you suggest (how you can know this is another question) I seriously doubt the team would have won 11 games this year.

Favre had 24 INTs in his 2nd season before popping. Yes yes, I know.. Love has been in the system for longer than that. There is no substitute for actual live action. Even Rodgers wasn't Rodgers the 1st few seasons and he had the same career arc.
And we shouldn't expect Love to be the our next HOF QB. He may not be but he's good enough with the right supporting cast to be successful.

Is Love the type of QB that is in the top 3-4 in the league and can carry a team to a championship? The Packers think he is but he didn't show it in 2024. His floor is quite high because of his athleticism. At his current level, he's about a 9-12 level QB in the league. I think his biggest flaw is his inaccuracy on deep throws over 30 yards in the air. He also showed problems with decision making this year. I wouldn't assume he's not going to be able to improve. The WR Corp was an even bigger disappointment this year partly due to injuries that limited Love's progress. Love's poor play down the stretch is a big concern but I doubt he can be written off as a failure.
The wide receivers have to mature the same way Love must. It is not like he has a corps of Kupp, Adams, and Deebo out there.

They'll always be the Redskins to me.
Hail to the... er, Commanders.

Unfortunately, I had to hear that "Fly, Eagles, Fly" song a couple of times during the game today. Stupid Eagles. With my luck, it will probably be a Chiefs/Eagles Super Bowl. Ick.

Love just doesnt use his feet enough to get out of trouble, the other top QB seem to see the trouble coming and scamper for the first down...its just a back breaker for the defense. In playoff football QB have to extend drives using their legs. I believe Love overall just doesnt see or feel the field well...that intangible may never be there.
I thought last year Love used his feet more than he did this season...

Wrong. What we traded up for, put time into, he played like trash this year. Enough with the excuses. His accuracy should be better at this point. Footwork also. Pressure for the contract you signed? Tough. Hurt? You were good enough to play.Too bad. I expect more, generational talent or not, at this point for this kid.
Jordan Love will never be a QB like Daniels. Daniels looks like a generational talent who can carry a team on his shoulders. But that doesn't mean we can't win with Love. Jordan just needs a better supporting cast to be successful.

Nobody is suggesting Love was wonderful this year. Perhaps a new QB coach will improve his play going forward? If not then the onus is on Gute to correct this mistake. I get why we moved up. Where we were drafting it was the only way Gute felt he had a shot at a decent QB. It seems like this position in particular is difficult to scout. How many guys taken in the top 5 in any draft bust spectacularly? All I was pointing out was he will never be the type of QB who can carry a team. There have been other QBs of his ilk who have won ot all.
