I'm a Steelers fan and was at the game last year, Love had 3 downfield completions where I just said "fuck this guy is gonna be good" so unfair that a franchise get 4 decades of incredible QB play
If I'm remembering right, I think the Pittsburgh game was the game where I finally said "The team's still struggling but he's looking so much better". Love wasn't looking awful, but he certainly didn't look like the QB he was at the end of the season. Pittsburgh was the first game where he looked like he was getting comfortable and just needed things to start clicking. It seemed like the WR's were in a similar position, and they all started growing closer together and getting better as a team. It was great to see, and even if the team didn't make the playoffs, they would have still been fun to watch.
I live in Wisconsin and what won me over is the news story about a lady stuck in a snow in parking lot. Jordan Love stops what hes doing and pulls over to help a complete stranger. Down to earth nice guy.
One thing that is making Love so good is the fact he isn't favoring 1 WR above the rest like Rodgers started to do the last 4-5 years of his career in GB. Rodgers started out throwing the ball to whoever was out there for his first half of his career and this is arguably when he was most dominate. I remember for fantasy football you could not predict who his #1 WR was going to be at the start of the season. The playoffs are very different from the regular season and teams that try to force the ball to their one superstar WR keep getting shut down. The amount of 3 and outs with Rodgers trying to force the ball to Davante in double coverage was painful as Rodgers just became one dimensional and average. I'm fine with Love taking a risk like he did in the 9ers game. Sometimes you will throw a pick and end the game but sometimes you have to risk your QBR to win a playoff game when you are down in the 4th because sometimes that throw gets caught and you win the game.
@@richardcheese9152 yeah, the stats in the regular season were great. I'm talking about the playoffs. Specifically 2019-2021 (didn't even make the 2022 playoffs). If you go back and watch the 4th quarter of those games, it is the same offensive strategy and result each time. Rodgers is one of the greatest regular season QBs ever. The one knock on him is his game doesn't elevate in the playoffs and d coordinators were able to limit his game to buddyball.
@@CompoundingTimeDid you want Rodgers to make Lazard and EQ something better than they are? That's why Gutey finally upgraded the WR position. Think about that Rodgers other weapons outside Adams was Lazard and EQ in his last Playoff game. That's beyond horrendous.
I mean. You're not wrong about Rodgers trying to force feed the ball to Davante. That cost us the game 2 or 3 years ago in the NFCCG. But I still don't want to see Love continuing to make throws like he did vs SF last year. If he just throws that ball away who knows what could have happened? Maybe on the very next play Wicks breaks wide open for an ez TD???? Or maybe he just throws a pick on the next play??? We will never know.
One thing that really stood out to me with Love last season was third and ten or more did not seem to faze them at all, they would just run a play and convert them somewhat regularly
Love is an absolute monster on 3rd and longs. I was at the opening day game vs the Bears last year. At one point, he was like 8/10 for 140 yds and 2 tds on 3rd and 4th down. The kid has ice in his veins.
To the dudes disagreeing with Jack whittle. We all said the same when AARON took over for Farve. Look how legendary that turned out. I think the same will happen here.
it was clear LaFleur didn't know what to do with Love at the start of the season. similar plays that Rodgers was very comfortable with, Love struggled in
At least he WILL step up to be the hero. I’m confident he capable of being a good one. The mentality is there, he’s just gaining wisdom and experience.
Any analysis of Love's 2023-2024 season also has to take in account that he was working with rookie or 1st year receivers and that for the first half of the season those receivers were going through a learning curve equal to Love's.
Seeing the great improvement from mid season adjustments to to Love's strengths makes me wonder what we'll see with a whole off season of planning. Go Pack.
statistically it is easier to score from just outside the redzone than within that range. The field condenses an you have less space to work with. The packers were just as aggressive in this area with Rodgers
Idk if Love is playing hero ball as much as he’s hoping his WR can play hero ball. Specifically vs Denver and Vegas. Watson play on the ball vs Vegas was awful.
Yes winning multiple SB are great but man you gotta love GB since Ron Wolf HOLMGREN and Favre then Thompson Mcarthy and Rodgers now it’s Gutty Leflure and love. CONSISTENCY 👍
You have to keep in mind that Va frisco the kicker had already missed field goal so I’m Sure he felt it was all or nothing cause that kicker was garbage
I know there’s a lot of factors for why Love (as well as the team) got better but right after the raiders game Love said after throwing 3 picks or losing the game he decided to just say f it imma sling it I know I can do it and proceeded to get better and better. Atleast I’m 99% sure
The good news is Tom Clements is almost old enough to quit training GB QB's. He's the QB coach who trained Favre, he's the QB coach who trained Rodgers, and he's the QB coach who came out of retirement to train Love. He's 71 years old and with any luck won't be able to train Love's successor in 10 years.
When tom retires his prodigy who he was teaching all the tricks too will take over , GB has a plan for that already, perks of being one of the best orgs of all time
What is truly disgusting. We could have had Love on a cheap deal for 1-2 more years and used some of that money to re-sign players like Aaron Jones and had the best duo backfield in the NFL. Instead we made the same old mistake again. Over paying the QB and eating up most of our cap. Now GB is going to be a playoff contender and that's it. No SB's unless we just get lucky. When is GB going to wake up and realize you can't win it all if your QB is eating up 50+ million per year?
They had the money to sign Jones. They chose not to cuz hes 30 and injured all the time. They gave Jacobs double what they offered Jones cuz hes younger and more of a workhorse. Made Xavier Mckinney one of the highest paid safeties in football too. Their salary cap is fine. Love's cap hit doesnt reach $40 million in a single year until the last year of the deal (4 years from now) which they will then restructure or give him a completely new deal. And this is with the salary cap expected to continue going up. Just tell us you dont like Jordan Love cuz you're talking out of your butt.
@williamhermann6635 Jones missed what 6 games total? For the workhorse back that honestly isn't bad. We could have resigned Jones and another capable RB who was as good or maybe even better for the price we got Jacob's. Give Jones enough help so that we limit the possibility of him getting hurt this year. I like the McKinney acquisition. We definitely needed help in the 2ndary. And as to your comment about me not liking Love. I freaking went out and bought his jersey last year. I hope he starts right where he left off from last year and improves on that throughout the season. All I'm saying is we didn't have to sign him to a major deal yet. We could have had him cheap for 1-2 more years and used money to sign another prime CB to help our 2ndary, or signed a true WR1 like Mike Evans. We could have gone all in for a SB this year and maybe next year. Then signed love to a huge contract and worked towards building young talent around him. But personally I'm of the opinion that the QB market has gotten out of control anyway. Guys like Lawrence, Tua, Goff, ect haven't put up stats to deserve 50m+. I've been a GB fan my entire life and it killed me that AR12 wouldn't give up some pay on the grounds that the extra money would go towards signing him some help. And now I see GB paying boat loads of $ to Love and I forsee a repeat of the past 10 years.
As a bears fan, i hope he just got really lucky, and will be on a decline. As a football fan, I hope he and Will Levis can resurrect a Cutler-ian flavor of "fuck you" aggresiveness that was really fun to watch when i was a kid
@@thehound9086 He was never that good, especially not good enough to be paid highest in NFL. Last year was Soft schedule, Top O Line, RB, and coaches. Watch and learn this year going to be a lot of INT's cuz teams have film on his inaccuracy downfield
@@joshbeezley4158 what I hate is GB finally has a stacked offense, and now they paid Dak 2.0 so if they ever get close to a SB he will flop again. If he ever becomes accurate, I will change my mind but throwing it over head of RB in backfield 2x a game, and at the feet of wide open WR's downfield aint winning anything especially NFC North with CHI and MN trending up now.
@@joshbeezley4158in practice love will test his limits and throw throws he wouldn’t throw in games plus they could be the receive faults plus maybe our d is that good there’s plenty of really good throws so I’m not worried

J dog love has to learn how not to force the ball in crunch time in the big playoff game and this should help him bring home some hardware dare grasshoppers
I'm a Steelers fan and was at the game last year, Love had 3 downfield completions where I just said "fuck this guy is gonna be good" so unfair that a franchise get 4 decades of incredible QB play
That game they gave up 5.75 yards a carry against a bad offense. Pack has been bad against the run for a long time

Him playing hero ball, its gonna get ironed out as he gains experience still was basically his rookie year
Not even close. A rookie doesn't go into a year with that sort of knowledge and skill that he's learned from the past Green Bay Quarterbacks.
not even a packers fan but really like Jordan love. not even sure why tbh. just want him to succeed. great vid.
good you are on our side then.
Dude he’s a great guy and if you heard about what happened with his Dad, it’ll make you admire him even more.

Very true. Except his stats in his last two MVP seasons were absurd

I firmly believe that love has the potential to be better than Rodgers and Farve. Better first season as a starter and Loves only gonna improve
stop
Pump the brakes a bit please
Dude...
To the dudes disagreeing with Jack whittle. We all said the same when AARON took over for Farve. Look how legendary that turned out. I think the same will happen here.
@@cousinit5670 I'm all for hyping up your guy but pump the brakes, we're talking about Aaron fucking Rodgers here

At least he WILL step up to be the hero. I’m confident he capable of being a good one. The mentality is there, he’s just gaining wisdom and experience.
I think what he did with all the injuries to his weapons is something to marvel at.
Everyone forgets packers had 12 injuries at one point
Youngest team since 1970 to make playoffs. Thats absolutely ridiculous. I think he shouldve been MVP last year cuz nobody did more with less.
Partially he had young receivers who were also learning.
Any analysis of Love's 2023-2024 season also has to take in account that he was working with rookie or 1st year receivers and that for the first half of the season those receivers were going through a learning curve equal to Love's.
Having Tom Clement’s is key too.
We’re getting spoiled with this much content let’s GO
That outer edge throw was a Rodgers habit. We need to cultivate that inside pass game.
Seeing the great improvement from mid season adjustments to to Love's strengths makes me wonder what we'll see with a whole off season of planning. Go Pack.
Impressive take, Billy
They did use their 1st pick on an offensive weapon that drove Rodgers to get two mvps. His replacement....
This dude wasn’t playing hero ball Rodger’s played hero ball the year before
AGREED!
There was so much time, just mello out and get small gains,
till you get to about the 10-15 yard line, then try a shot in the end zone!
statistically it is easier to score from just outside the redzone than within that range. The field condenses an you have less space to work with. The packers were just as aggressive in this area with Rodgers
I think he was scared of the game relying on our kicker, who showed he couldn't perform under pressure.
But the real question is how many years do Jets fans have to wait to see love play for them
0:27 if rogers was bald on forehead hair he would look like nicholus cage
Idk if Love is playing hero ball as much as he’s hoping his WR can play hero ball. Specifically vs Denver and Vegas. Watson play on the ball vs Vegas was awful.
Yes winning multiple SB are great but man you gotta love GB since Ron Wolf HOLMGREN and Favre then Thompson Mcarthy and Rodgers now it’s Gutty Leflure and love. CONSISTENCY 👍

Lmao that’s so morbid. What a legend he is.
@treysonmcgrady4750 71 isn't all that old anymore. I could see him coaching into his 80's with a big enough check or a promising enough student.

Tom is probably one me of the best coaches that (nearly) no one knows.
He was working with Arizona with Murray before coming back to Green Bay. That’s when Murray had his best two years.
Never have I clicked faster
Seems like this video was made by a Bears fan. 😂
His last pass of the season was one of the worse if not the worst pass i ever seen.
