Yes. Obviously it’s hard to compare to someone as prolific as #12 at QB. Obviously we can win a SB without the elite accuracy of #12 and much of that relies upon the success of the other 2 phases.
I see a QB in Love that could potentially grow into a good starter if he continues growing. If he improves his shorter game accuracy (touch passes, leading the receiver properly etc..) he could be capable as a lower end starter by early next season. Jordan won’t really get substantially past that level without live game experience against 1’s. Unfortunately he’s stuck behind the best QB to ever play football. It’s a blessing and a curse simultaneously.
By spending this year on the sideline learning, Love will have gotten the best possible coaching opportunities available to any QB coming into the league. He has not been under fire to perform, and has had the opportunity of spending his time with a certified HOF QB, and learning from him, and the coaching staff. It doesn't get any better than that.
If, and when, he does take the field controlling his own destiny, these three years will have either gave him the education he needs, or he has failed, simply because he doesn't have those skills necessary to rise to the level of a true winner.
I think it's 3 times more likely that he'll succeed after this year than it was, when he was drafted. That learning curve, without the pressure, is an enormous help getting where you need to be.
But, this is just my opinion.
