How Will J-Love's Career Play Out?

[texaspackerbacker]

What makes you think the 2023 Packers will be great?

If not for Carr being KO-ed, this team would be sitting at 1-3 right now. Defense continues to underachieve, as it has been since Super Bowl 45. The Italian special teams coach remains overpaid as his units are averaging 2 fuck ups per game. Offensively, Detroit exposed the Yokozunas (fat guys); Love ain’t capable (at least not yet) of carrying the team on his back; and Watson has the biggest vag not seen in cold, dark and dull Green Bay since the Claymaker.

I have already resigned myself to a disappointing season, and I’ve a tons of flicks lined up on Netflix and Hulu to, hopefully, drown out the sorrow. The only positive is, I ain’t played a hand of poker in 7 weeks.

And they could just as well be 3-1 if not for the freaky debacle against Atlanta.

Congrats on your abstention. Let us know when you get your 6 month pin hahahaha.

They're right where they should be. Dominated one game. Got dominated one game. Lost a game they should have won. Won a game they should have lost.

Agreed

But these groupie hoes think Packers are Chiefs level! It seems like Why people have more cognitive issues as they age so could explain why they are crying about being .500. Had you asked them in August if that would suffice they would have claimed it was out of reach.

After 4 games I though i would know more about Lve than I do. I think he has untapped potential, but he might suck. I thought he was garbage for the first 24 hours after the draft, then i thought he had untapped potential and not suck. so 3+yrs in and i still dont know what i really think of him. Just hopes dreams and a pile of BS

[call_me_ishmael]

Mahomes is closer to H of F than just good unless his career is shortened by injury. I doubt Love quite comes up to that level, but I could easily see him as better than all but 3 or 4 QBs now starting.

LOL

[sharpe1027]

Love did a great job of staying calm under constant pressure. He seems to be making good decisions even when pressured. He's got the arm to make difficult throws. He's does miss opportunities due to inaccurate throws.

I think he's gonna start a lot of games in the NFL. I don't think he's going to consistently carry a team by throwing for anyone if yards.

LOL

It may be unlikely that Love will be a top 5 QB. But I don't think the idea is laughable. So far, he's mostly had to play without his best RB, best WR, and 2 best OL. We don't yet know what he can do with a full arsenal of weapons. He's had little running game to rely on, and a shaky OL since Jenkins followed Bakhtiari to the sidelines.

I think it's a bit laughable if is anyone claiming they know one way or another with certainty.

I think there's really three checkpoints here to determine the career arc:
(1) First game or two
(2) After 6-8 games
(3) Early next season

I think he's okay; Arm strength, poise and decision making are good and likely to improve. Accuracy is a concern. Not sure how much he can or will improve there, maybe he can work on it in the offseason but I think he's going to be a gunslinger type QB who flirts with making the top 10 in his best seasons. I also think they'll probably extend him to an overpaying contract and look to move on in about 5-7 years after a few quick Kirk Cousins-esque playoff exits. I could be very wrong here, it's only been 4 games, but that's the vibe I get from him. He's still better than anything the Bears have had in the last 30 years.

I think his floor is Jameis Winston and his ceiling is a Donovan McNabb type of player.

Talk about setting the bar low.....

Certainly but the assertation and boldness of the projection is laughably unlikely. Probability is supremely low

[Jaire]

How about "too early to say?" And this team has had too many key injuries since 2020 it seems. Love deserves at least a season and then several games with a healthy squad. He's got a really good receiver core for the next few years. Add a couple oline man and give him a couple years.

And Hurts is a stud. He may never be a G.O.A.T but barring injury, I will always look forward to watching him. He's such a chill, soft spoken dude as well: love his character.

Yes. I was generally agreeing with you.

[texaspackerbacker]

Claiming Love is not likely to be better than all but a handful of current NFL QBs is to say that Love's start to the season is a fluke. Is that what ya'all think - the mealy mouth poster who laughed at such an idea or the dumbass parrot who generally agreed with him?

It seems to me that as good as Love has played, he has just scratched the surface. His "accuracy problem" seems to me to be not in his arm, but in his inexperience on when and how to put air under the ball or lead a receiver just a bit more or less. And that will certainly improve. And he has been nearly Aaron Rodgers-esque in not stupidly throwing into a crowd and getting picks like so many supposedly good QBs nowadays.

I'm at a point where I'm comfortable now not necessarily predicting just yet that the Packers will have hit it big three times in a row, but that I sure wouldn't be surprised if it turns out that way.
