It's all Apples to Oranges. Were Rodgers 1st 5 games vs. better teams (defenses) than Love? Are the current rules more QB friendly than Rodgers 1st year as a starter. Were the coaches better then or now? Does Love drive to practice in a more comfortable car than Rodgers did?
It’s true You’ll never have a perfect comparison season to season However we can make reasonable deductions based on the players around him. We now have an adequate sample size. We’ve played D rankings in points allowed:
#5
#10
#15
#21
#30
For a #16 average

You’re welcome to look up the 2008 season and first 5 games. Add the defensive rankings and divide by 5 games. That’ll get you close to your answer to question #1
The other questions are somewhat vague and non quantifiable. However imo, I don’t think the rules for a QB have changed that drastically since 2008, so that argument holds very low value unless you go back 50 years etc.
As far as the coaches? That starts to get more subjective. They are a part of the teams success and it shows up in points scored/ points allowed

I can verify we have not had a tough schedule. Definitely we have not had an easy one
