The Packers are voiding a year of Rodgers contract and making it way more likely Love starts in 2023. They wouldn't have done that if they didn't feel pretty good about #10.
I'd like to put half a foot in and wait until after preseason to decide which way to go.
What's better for Jordan Love? Another year learning from a GOAT and getting to develop without the pressure on or getting a couple picks for Rodgers after this year and Love getting the extra firepower to start his career?
All eyes on 10 now
Ok.
I've seen enough. Hope Love has a great career and proves me wrong, but I am on the Benkert band wagon. I don't think love has what it takes and don't think he will, something I've been watching to see for a while. Benkert won't ever be great but he doesn't have any expectations.
Thanks for your expert opinion. We can now cut Love tomorrow to help get to 80 players.
I tend to agree with what Jaire said. Love has a helluva lot to prove just to show he is significantly better than UFA Benkert. He's apparently gonna get his chance this week. Buffalo thoroughly kicked the ass of the Bears, and now we have to go to their place. If Love stands out in this game, I'm prepared to change my mind about his mediocrity, and I suspect LaFleur will give him a lot more weapons than Benkert had against the Jets. We'll see how it plays out.
I’m assuming this is a joke?
From an arm talent, mobility and decision making perspective, based on what I have seen and read, love is substantially out performing the law office. Now I don't live in GB so I don't see practices but I read and watch what is available. And I don't have the same hometown biases.
In the preseason videos i have seen love made more accurate and deeper throws. Benkurt made more checkdowns. Small sample size admittedly but there was a reason benkurt was avaiable from the falcon.
12/17 for 122 with a rd and 0 picks
26/37 for 239 with a td and 2 pick.
Which line do you take?
Both are too small to really make a decision so to me our opinions probably show our biases more than anything really.
You people think a guy who constantly trips over his OL is the future? There is no pressure on Benkert. He made a bunch of safe throws and produced very little. I think they tried to do more with Love in the first week with a wider playbook. He wasn't fabulous, but neither was Rodgers in his first two years. Love also got no help from the OL, which seemed to be a more organized group in week 2.
Benkert is a nice backup QB in this league...nothing more.
I remember a time in America where results spoke louder than...handling the delicate QBs fragile ego.
I was one of the first to be against Gutes, but 2 NFCC games and a loaded roster can't be ignored. Firing fat mike and hiring MiLF was also a great move. I as well, think drafting Love when we did was a mistake, but I also understand why it was done.
If you are hitching your wagon to Benkert over Love as a packer or in his career its very bold....and very, well, I'll be nice.
I doubt anybody sees Benkert as "the future" except maybe as the future clipboard holder. Like somebody said, he would be a decent back up. As somebody also said, the idea of Rodgers for just one more year is "ideal for Love". THAT is why, sorry to say, I can't help wanting to see Love fail miserably/get traded/whatever. Anything that gets Rodgers firmly rooted in Green Bay for the foreseeable future is what I want and should be what any Packer fan wants who likes having a winning team.
I have zero confidence in Love. It's his confidence, command in the huddle, the head stuff. Benkhert seems to have all that. And I don't think it can be learned. Kurt is limited but could get us through a year or two.
That's my meaning. The tools aren't the most important thing. I could be wrong on Love, but I've been looking for those so called "intangibles" and I really don't see it with him. So to me, at least Benkhert is a nice safety valve when Love flops.
I respect you're opinion but I feel you need to think longer and harder about even considering Benkhert a starter. He's at best currently a one or two game stop gap and likely that is his ceiling given his measureables, history and projections. Love is clearly the more talented player and was a projected high draft choice. Whether he ever pans out and fills the space between his ears with the needed vision and decision making is obviously up for debate.
It's still way too early to make an accurate assessment of him. Certainly as this season progresses we should get a much better picture of if he's NFL starter material or not.
Lastly, in reference to Tex's comments, rooting against any draft choices success (i.e against Love) is a dangerous slope to start heading down. It reeks of player worshiping versus team loyalty.
