How Will J-Love's Career Play Out?

Have you seen any of his games this year?

My thoughts also. Then I looked at his stats. A lot better than the impression he has left on my mind.

I don't think they're similar players at all though. Maybe similar is ceiling.

agree; that is what I was indicating. May be Love's high end ceiling

Dak looks a little stalkier and thick. Not a great body type comp. But the game they play. They’re similar that way. If he’s as good as Dak, we’re lucky. Odds are against him being even that level.

Maholmes is the closest comp to Love in most ways, except for accuracy and ability to read a D. One of those can be improved. Also, that comp is probably the reason Gutes went up and got him. By seasons end we should have a much better read on most of our offensive skill position guys. All the first year guys (Love included) have shown some improvement. All have also made ugly gaffes.

I think Blake Bortles is a much better comp. Huge arm, athletic, prone to throwing off-balance and not at all accurate. NFL.com had it right

If not for the cheaters Bortles would possibly have a ring. I also was always much higher on Bortles than others. Our resident genius, Nate Hacket broke him (just like he is finishing off Zack Wilson instead of improving him).

I had been avoiding saying it but 100% agree. He plays a similar funky, awkward style that makes it hard for defenses to calibrate on him.

First 300 yard game for Love today. I'm not enshrining him in Canton yet, but it was nice to see. Also (looking it up) hit 10 different pass catchers!! Wow.

Love played great today

Look at Bretsky, coming around!

Against a very bad pass d love played well. That's good to see.

Another test on Thursday.
Kinda like mid terms junior year in high school

I think Packers lose 31-27 on Turkey Day in one heck of a fun game.

He looks like an okay starter.
I still say extend now with a heavily incentive based contract

Love looks really composed under pressure and he is placing passes better. I'd place him at this time as:

FLOOR : A good qb that can win some games

TRAJECTORY: occasional pro bowler

CEILING: All Pro / HOFer

Me liking!!

Things are looking up - of course for Love, but also for the attitude of posters in here hahahaha.

I agree.

Looks like the majority got it right here. He's been slightly better than Mahomes, but this is not vintage Mahomes. I thought Love would be pretty solid. But I have to say he's made more WOW throws than I expected. It wasn't until sometime in Rodgers'2nd year as a starter that I knew he was a lot better than pretty good. Still too early to tell what Love's ceiling is.
