    Have you seen any of his games this year?
    What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?

    My thoughts also. Then I looked at his stats. A lot better than the impression he has left on my mind.
    But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

    agree; that is what I was indicating. May be Love's high end ceiling
    LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?

    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.

    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.

    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.
