Harsh. When he's fit, he has been good. Still a few niggles given his youth, but I still haven't given up.
I'm going to agree with you. He's still super talented and has a great demeanor and character. But these brain farts have got to stop

He's becoming Brett Favre without an cannon for an arm. I don't see Love dislocating our WRs fingers with a heater for a pass.

Do you believe he was tested enough to command a $220M contract?
Probably not, but he had the team over a barrel to some extent, and the front office probably trusted themselves as judges of talent. Really though, he hasn't been healthy. If he wasn't hurt, maybe we're having a different conversation. Having Willis in the background makes things more complicated too. I was also concerned about a sophomore jinx before the season started, we might be looking at it.

You know it’s funny. Whenever we play a good game there’s inevitably a chorus of posts saying stuff like “where are all the naysayers now???” Or “I notice the usual suspects aren’t here complaining!” Or “no sign of the typical Debbie downers!” And so on.

And of course now that we’re having an absolute clunkers…. Not a single peep from any of them. :D

I think we didn't have a choice. We gambled against giving him a longer contract before the season and lost. If not us, there's definitely some team who'd have paid more than us and we can't afford to lose him.

I’m still good with Love. Frankly I don’t think he’s been fully healthy since week 1 (and I’m really not sure if he’s even been that close. He’s never looked right) and to me it’s more the coaching staff doing him a disservice than any one thing Love himself is doing or not.

I'm sorry but to heck with those that thinks that it's his injuries hampering him. Almost every single NFL player, plays through their injuries. His NFL leading 10 interceptions were so to POOR DECISION MAKING. Let's not forget he's missed over two games, this DEFINITELY not $55 mil a year football.

Well... you know what's going to . unfold in the 2nd half right? Pack will come to life after Detroit's 1st possession TD and just fall short after a furious comeback attempt... moral victory .... blah blah blah.

Love should not be playing.
Oh yeah. It’s very obvious Love is in a bad way. Just look at him he’s wincing in between plays in pain. This isn’t about 1 game any more. I’m beginning to believe our HC isn’t capable of making important decisions. It’s relatively easy to coach a team for someone trained, it’s very tough to swallow your pride and admit you were wrong.

Correct- from a business perspective but it still doesn't mean he's an elite quarterback deserving of an elite salary.
