What’s your early take on Jordan Love?

[Bretsky]

DAN PATRICK SHOW

Indy was moving up ahead of GB to get Love

DAN PATRICK CONSENSUS TAKE

Bit surprised; unlike AROD Love was not a value pick. Consensus was he was going between 25 and 35

[mraynrand]

I believe he was trying to make a Full Metal Jacket (Sgt. Hartman) reference.

Likely. Someone ran a statistical analysis last year and found that 84.6% of all references are really Full Metal Jacket (Sgt. Hartman) references.

What a shocker first round pick, IMO. Lindy’s draft magazine had him ranked as the 6th best QB in this years draft class.
What’s your early feeling on Love?

Lindy's? They've always been about the worst resource you can find. Their goal has always been to rush their magazines out early, so they can make more money.

My feeling is to not trust Lindy's.

Regardless of how Love turns out in the long run, in the present it means reset.

Wrong. 2007.

It will only be a reset if Rodgers bails, which I don't think he will.

Posters who are thinking rebuilding are aware of what the Vikings have lost this year, right? And that the Bears have 32 veteran TEs on their roster?

[mraynrand]

Are you feeling feverish? Should probably get tested to be sure.

Seriously, it's out there. He made a bet with some other talking head to donate 5K to the Jimmy V foundation if Jordan Love was drafted before another QB.

You just have to think rationally, and you'll see that drafting a QB high fills a huge need. Backup QB right now and future franchise QB.

I know. Just jokes baby, just jokes.

AFC scout: “I’m not a fan. Everybody else seems to be. Does he make smart decisions? I don’t think so. Average arm strength.

I quit reading this scout right here. Dude has good arm strength.

[HarveyWallbangers]

McShay likes him. Bet 5K he would be drafted before... (can't remember which QB)

I think it was Herbert--when the Love over Herbert talk hit a crescendo.

[Packers4Glory]

I think Rodgers can still absolutely carry a team. Dude had no weapons outside of Adams and Jones. His down year was pretty ridiculous by any metric. It's absolutely criminal how this team has constantly ignored giving him potential high pedigree weapons, especially when Jordy was on the decline.


I do think this will make him pissier but in a good way. He went from having that chip on his shoulder to something else and less productive. I think having his NFL mortality shoved in his face is going to reignite that fire a bit and he's going to be out to make these guys look stupid. that said, father time catches up to everyone. I can see Love taking over in year 4 just due to age and injuries. I think we have 2 more years of Rodgers being one of the top guys in the lg.

Can we start the drum beating for OJ Howard? please?

ridiculous. almost everything I've seen said he has the best arm in the draft.

[mraynrand]

I know. Just jokes baby, just jokes.

Is that Buddy Love?

[mraynrand]

ridiculous. almost everything I've seen said he has the best arm in the draft.

Just watch about 20 seconds of highlights and you can see him fling it 40 yards off his back foot.

Correct
