The Jordan Love Thread

[longtimefan]

Well, don't let me slide. I've seen more QBs come and go than you can remember. BRETT HUNDLEY stunk up everything.
JORDAN Love is the same...strong arm..no accuracy...nice throw here and there...but bad judgement..bad footwork..stinko... you don't know what you are talking about. Prove me wrong...

He had a td vs KC at arrowhead in regular season.

Rodgers didnt have a td at home in playoffs.

Lmao

 

[longtimefan]

Not true. As a matter of fact...it was a Surprise that GB traded 5hat far up with what they gave up for him. And, BTW. .watching him against the chiefs..solidifys why he should go...he sucks. Playing against 2nd and 3rd teamers..Goodness..BH dena vu...

I showed many links showing he was top 25

 

[Spanky]

Love isn't even the 2nd best QB on the roster right now.

Sadly true. If Rodgers goes down for a couple of games I'd much rather have Etling holding down the fort.

 

[gopkrs]

Etling did not look really good to me. OK though. I would certainly roll with Love. His arm looked much improved tonight to me. He can really zip the ball. And as we all know; preseason does not mean anything.

That's not true. The Packers created a cottage industry of grooming Brett Favre's backups to be starters for other teams based on their preseason play. Because they sure as hell didn't get regular season snaps.

Mark Brunell
Ty Detmer
Doug Pederson
Matt Hasselbeck
Aaron Brooks

I may be forgetting someone, there were so many.

I'm referring to wins and losses. They don't mean anything.

 

[Voyageur]

Preseason. The level of talent across from each QB the Packers use, and the talent working with them, will dramatically effect the results.

That said, I do like Etling's play. I'd find a way to keep him, even if it means needing to keep him on the 53 man roster.

 

[Deleted member 6794]

I'm convinced....that I disagree with you on both points.

Come on, Poker. You truly want to argue that the Packers found themselves in the same situation in 2020 as they did in '05??? And just because it worked out with Rodgers automatically means it will with Love as well???

It’s a valid example. It’s also a highly successful outcome.

Yes, but fans shouldn't expect it to work out that way just because it did the last time around. On most occasions around the league it didn't.

 

[tynimiller]

Omg..your a troll

Or and idiot….it truly has to be one or the other

Thou shall researcheth thy knowledge before thou speaketh:

The starting defense came out firing on all cylinders and hitting.

Packers offense started coming alive in the 2nd quarter when the Chiefs starters started leaving the field.

I’m not sure what you are watching but starting level Defenses will feast on a young QB who has a small range in both playbook and field vision.
It’s sorta like Baseball. Everyone just moves up because they only have to cover 75% of the field. Etling might manage some short passes and move the chains. He’s actually pretty good at that, but maybe a poor man’s Taysom level. That’s not good enough to get you very far in this league. Our chances of Etling coming from behind are 1:3 ratio to Jordan. I know you are entitled to an opinion, but that doesn’t make it any more valid.
No thanks to Etling as our #2 that’s a terrible idea.

I still think that part of the reason for drafting Love was that it was 1 month into the Pandemic. No one knew if there was going to be football in 2020, how finances were going to be and 2020 was a huge unknown. If there was no FB in 2020, you are going into 2021 with an aging QB that was showing signs of slippage, 2 years since anyone played, probably no 2021 draft or at least a 2021 draft with the last film on college players being from 2 years ago. No FB in 2020 and I imagine the cap in 2021 would take an even greater hit.

Interesting theory. Welcome back, Firethorn...it's been a while.

That’s a very good point. The draft literally happened right after the pandemic bomb had dropped.
It really was right toward the pinnacle of all that mess.

Reminds me of a saying I like:
Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes the reason is you are dumb and made a bad decision.

Thats a diff take...

10 needs to work on his deep throws big time.

I’m familiar with it. First hand!

 

[OldSchool101]

I don’t know that I’d be too overly worried about 1 throw with 14 sec on the clock and 1 TO. That’s not an area you have much of a choice.


I’m not sure what PS games you’ve seen or not, but Love has had some money throws that were deep. So I’m not really sure what you mean by he can’t make a deep pass? He already has over the last couple weeks.

 

[tynimiller]

Saying he needs to work on his deep ball isn’t accurate.

Until the Chiefs game it was the intermediate and close throws he was having trouble with yet exhibited insanely good touch on deep balls. At KC it switched.

That throw was so far off I’d be curious to know what he was seeing?
I mean that because he could’ve thrown it into the Endzone. There were 4 Defenders in play. 3 Within possible reach of the ball.

 

[OldSchool101]

I was pleased to see what Rodgers said about Love yesterday.

He said what he’d like to see was Love marrying up a few aspects of “footwork, keeper or hard-action fakes, RPO game and run solutions with the running game”

I thought it was interesting he really didn’t pick on him in the passing arena, but rather said Love was “a Master of the Offense” which is the exact opposite of what the novice critics are using as areas of some great concern.

I admittedly don’t know what all those entail, but I do know that constructive criticism doesn’t match up with one fans opinion that I’ve seen. Which doesn’t give me great confidence in any fans opinion.

Here is JT O'Sullivan's take on Jordan Love's game 2 (preseason) performance vs. the Saints. Kind of a mixed bag. Quick summary: some impressive throws but accuracy lacks consistency. Footwork needs further cleaning up. That said, there has been improvement for Love.

I really enjoy QB School. I encourage everyone to check it out.

And he is excited to see more and thinks he is trending in improving

Which a lot here have said.

8 preseason games in 05 and 06, Rodgers had 4 games under a 45 rating?? Also a 12 rating
