How Will J-Love's Career Play Out?

[Joemailman]

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 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.

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.”

[Joemailman]

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.

[call_me_ishmael]

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?

[texaspackerbacker]

The kid is erring on the side of not throwing interceptions, and that is absolutely a good thing. He occasionally does hum it in there like a laser too, just not all the time since it isn't always necessary to throw like that.

Jordan Love is the only QB in the league to throw for

1,800+ YDS
16+ TDs
1 or fewer INTs
And a completion % of 68.0+ over a seven-game span this season

The last QB to put up these numbers in the NFL was Aaron Rodgers in 2021.

[call_me_ishmael]

Wow, that's incredible

[MadtownPacker]

Wow, that's incredible

Almost as much as you are lame for saying his accuracy sucked.

[BrokenArrow]

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

he just wasn't looking at them
