Still too early to tell what Love's ceiling is.

    The thing that I don't get most of all is how these jags are so open for JLove but seemingly never were for Rod. What's up with that? Different offense? They were always open and ARod ain't throwing? It seems that the truth is a young QB is dangerous because they will attempt throws that an old one won't attempt.

    SO MANY said AROD won't throw to a guy til he trusts him. I always found that rather pathetic. Just throw to the guy who's open dammit. His zeroing in on Adams lost us games at times.

    But on the other hand, our WR's are WAY BETTER NOW than what Adams had backing him up. But part of that is RODGERS fault for f'cking up our WR room up with this buddies who lacked talent

    Thank the Jets want the Lizard or Cobb ? Those two guys, talent wise, would not crack our top 6 WR's and...on of them started for us last year
    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 ?

    go watch the replays, a rod usually had guys open on every play

    he just wasn't looking at them

    Really glad Love made it to 30 in 16. Gonna be fun rubbing it in Bears fans faces on Twitter since they’ve never seen 30 in 120 years. And the shit they talked all offseason.

    Jordan love shouldn’t be swishing that champagne on his teeth. He gonna be toothless when we trade him to the Jets and that might lower is trade value.

    He has a family to provide for. Unless Love has a bad game. Then he has nothing better to do than immediately come here and spend 3 days repeating the same nonsense.

    It's hard to tell so early. He sure seems like he has a lot of the characteristics you want in a QB. The thing that jumps out to me is he seems unafraid to let it fly to JAGs. It makes me think of how many big games were left on the table when ARod was throwing to JAGs but wouldn't let it fly.

    I think Love will be limited by his accuracy. I'm still not convinced he's a top 10 QB yet. Newness goes a long way. Next year could look totally different. I would dangle the carrot to him contract wise. "Jordan, we love you, you're great, but we just need to see more. You're under contract next year and we will absolutely use the franchise tag if we can't come to an agreement. Let's do 8 weeks before and if you continue to perform the way we think you're capable of, we will give you the largest contract for a qb".

    I was hoping for a TD hat trick for him. Get to 31. Tied for second with Purdy. Start to lurk in that borderline MVP zone. If the Packers had a defense, we’d have 11 wins and he would be in the hunt for that MVP.

    I think his accuracy is already improved from what it was earlier in the year. He's gone from the bottom to 21st in the NFL. His completion pct. has gone from 58.7 in the first 9 games to 68.4 in the last 7. Also Love is 3rd in the NFL in average depth of target, whether completed or not. So he's likely not going to have the completion pct. of guys who throw more short stuff.

    30 TD seasons without Randy Moss or Rob Gronkowski:

    Jordan Love: 1
    Tom Brady: 0

    Posers like tell_me_iSmell just read stat lines and act like they paid attention to the game. Love’s accuracy is more than good and will only improve. Just based on his face and body language he was thinking way too damn much. Now his eyes are determined and he is letting the cannon loose.

    Basically homeboy was playing nervous and now he’s feeling cool.

    Exactly, the early season accuracy issues, IMO, were him playing tight, literally. Now he's got more experience which has boosted his confidence so he's playing loose and letting it rip.

    The kid's demeanor is awesome. His game face speaks volumes.

    Rest of the NFCN is in trouble because he's only going to get better.

    He's playing good but his deep ball still stinks. Anything with air under it feels like a problem with JLove. I am not sold on his deep ball accuracy yet. We shall see. He looks the part right now, I agree.

    I gotta agree with you here. Remember, there’s not much difference between “deep balls” and “balls deep.”

    Rodgers wasn't great on deep balls early in his career either. Remember the miss to Jennings in overtime against Arizona in 2009 playoffs? Deep balls are great when they happen, but being able to throw a bullet accurately down the seam, and being able to throw a great deep out are more important.

    The other thing that seems kinda weird is it doesn't seem like JLove ever throws a laser. The ball goes far, but it doesn't seem to be going particularly fast. What newfangled physics is he applying to this situation to achieve this?
