What if Jordan Love was our QB in 2022 ?

[Bretsky]

I've hear this more than once so I'm curious what da RATS feel.

How much better, OR worse, would we have been with Jordan Love last year ?

[Bretsky]

Yall know my polls should not be easy :) I've heard some say the Packers Roster was good enough to be a sub par below .500 team with Love as our QB in 2022.

How do you think we would have fared with Jordan Love as our starting QB last year ?

[call_me_ishmael]

If they are starting Love next year, I think they make a slew of other tough choices and flip from one of the older rosters to a younger roster.

[George Cumby]

He's younger, faster with a stronger arm and can be coached.

From our small sample size, he's more accurate.

Love would've got us more wins.

Actually before the 2022 season started the Packers were the 10th youngest team. If they move on from Rodgers, Crosby and Lewis, they will surely be one of the very youngest.

9-8 if Love is the Packers QB, Could be 10-7. Rodgers didn't make the Playoffs during his first year as the starter and neither did Favre. It's a lot to ask a first year starting QB to take a team to the playoffs.

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

Nobody knows, but that is sorta the point, we won't know until we play him..

[bobblehead]

I said near same. Rodgers was not good bordering on bad. A first year starter would probably make some dumb mistakes, but there would have been positives to counter it. Rodgers energy level was nil this year and that bled through the roster. Love would have had the opposite effect. But I feel confident in saying that based soley on this season Love would certainly not have been appreciably worse.

[Fritz]

I voted for about the same. Love would make some bonehead plays, but the offense might've done no worse. Rodgers threw lots of picks this year.

[King Friday]

I think Love could’ve played as efficiently at QB as Rodgers did. His legs would’ve brought a much needed additional threat to the offense in short yardage and goal line situations. It would’ve likely been a wash…still a .500 team.

[Joemailman]

Looks like Tex must have misunderstood the poll question. :-D The thread title and poll question aren't quite the same.

[texaspackerbacker]

True. I answered on the basis of the thread title - apparently others did too based on the comments. 3 games worse i.e. 6-11, that would be very much on the high side if Love was the QB.

That would mean we were 9-8 this year and in the playoffs. 3 games worse would be 5-12.

[texaspackerbacker]

I stand corrected hahahaha.

[Vincenzo]

No doubt in my mind that we see a drop in final results with Love at the helm. That’s not to say with a full year under his belt that we can’t get back to the level we’ve seen with AR.

[sharpe1027]

I think the lose a game or two more, so about the same.

Here's the thing, there's a possibility that Love doesn't need to make the same throws as Rodgers can to be as effective for the team. If he plays within the system and makes the calls MLF wants.

Good point. In Rodgers's younger days, his legs were a killer for other teams. They'd do everything right, and Rodgers would slip out of the pocket and take off, often getting key first downs or touchdowns. That quality is rapidly evaporating for him. But Love has it.

[bobblehead]

Not sure how anyone can think Love would have been worse to be honest. I just check espn total QBR ratings and Rodgers was 26th. He was just ahead of, in order:

Russell Wilson
Mac Jones
Davis Mills
Carson Wentz
Baker Mayfield

Thats a who's who of totally inept QB play during the 2022 season. Notables who were well ahead of Rodgers include Jacoby Brissett, Marcus Mariota, Kenny Pickett, and Andy Dalton. All basically journey men and a rookie.

Why would anyone conclude Love would have been worse?

[Tony Oday]

He had an ok game and seems to be progressing but I think he would be much worse then AR was.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Why would anyone conclude Love would have been worse?

Tony O’Day would conclude that, historically, Black QBs have not fared well in the Green and Musta Yella.

Akili Smith couldn’t even make the team. Seneca Wallace made the Polar Bear regret cutting Vince Young. Brett “The Hun” Hundley was every bit as abominable as his distant relative, Attila the Hun. Kizer wasn’t German and he couldn’t hold Tim Boyle’s jockstrap. Aaron Brooks displayed some kung fu but he never played a down for the Packers, as McCarthy stole Brooks away on his way out after Rhodes’ infamous one and done season.

Prior to the Balding Eagles game, all Love showed in his token appearances was inaccuracy, indecisiveness and the inability to handle blitzes.

Paraphrasing O’Day here. :)

I’m in this same boat. Road gets was average at best this season, he did nothing special, he made maybe a handful of throws where you would go “wow”, other then that he was just there doing his own thing

Love doesn’t have to make the same throws Erin does, he’ll Erin doesn’t have to attempt most of the shit he does, there are guys running wide open all over the place

For some reason that line really cracked me up. You're always cracking me up, Red.

[MadtownPacker]

Thinking it would’ve been just enough one or two game difference. Then everyone didn’t have to RELAX and watch Packers hopelessly chase the playoffs and blow it.

us michiganders gotta stick together

[MadScientist]

Love would have made some bad decisions due to inexperience, however he would have made more of the short throws that Rodgers missed when his thumb was really bad. So probably a wash. If Love had started this year, he would have been much better next year. Unfortunately, he looked pretty bad in 2021, so the Packers didn't want to risk it and signed Rodgers to a terrible contract.
