HOPE FOR THE FUTURE

[Bretsky]

This is something that would make a good poll hahahaha. I'd say Love more resembles Rodgers than Favre. His inaccuracy is overrated. He is generally careful not to throw picks - with very very few exceptions. The throwing into double coverage happened on that desperation play at the end of that game, but any other times? Not that I recall (let the whiny fact checkers cone out from under their rocks hahahaha).

As RG said, it's not that easy to find another great QB. Lightning striking a third time could happen, but it's a long shot. What I see from Love, though, is a QB already better than well over than half the starting QBs around the league and very likely to get a lot better.

BETTER than over half the starters ?

TEX, care to post the NFL Quarterback Ratings yet...the TD to INT ratio..completion percentage....etc............this is kinda crazy

A little bit crazy, but not too much. I saw a site that rated receiver groups based on drops and contested catches. Packers receivers were at or near the bottom. Packers are near the bottom at rushing the ball. Few, if any starting QB's have had as little support from their teammates as Love has had.

Jayden Reed is on pace for 750 yards and looks like our most talented receiver at this point.

agree 1000 percent

I have hope for one OL and one WR and one TE on our team. Reed gives us some hope

And out OC and HC are weak as well.
And our WR's suck and our TE's are below average

But I'm not going to be a complete apologist. I want to see better accuracy and decisions from Love. And no stats out there I know of would support Love being a top half QB right now

hahahahahahaha QB rating didn't mean anything the first few weeks of the season when Love was at the top of the league.

Remove the Bears Game and then tell me how he is

[bobblehead]

Remove weeks 2-6 and then tell me how he is.

I'm not sure if he's getting worse, OR if he was good enough to be good against terrible defenses but nobody else.

Even in the Saints game, take away some marginal pass interference calls and we don't get that game either.

There was very little actual tape on Love. The Packers knew going into the season what his best qualities were. No one else did. When he did play, the Packers weren’t able to build a plan around him because 12 was QB1.

So the Bears had no clue what to expect. And their pass rush is abysmal.

Since Chicago, teams have adapted to what Love does well and no one has as poor of a pass rush. The league caught up to 10 real fast.

Those who choose None of the Above, could also comment a complete overhaul would bring you the most hope

I’m struggling with how I, as a Packer fan, and we, as Packer fans, are possibly suffering a disconnect between our pre-season stated expectations and how we are responding to how the season is going.

The vast majority of us said we knew they were in a rebuild and expected poorer results than we’ve seen in the past. If I recall correctly, most of us predicted between 6 - 11 and 10 - 7. Most also acknowledged the first half would be the worst, but if the team improved over the second half, we’d think the team was heading the right direction.

So, as I’ve written elsewhere, what the hell did I - did we - think losing football would look like? Teams lose because they play badly and can’t make that one big play at a key moment. The Packers have had chances at ends of games to win. Would we all feel the entire organization was heading in the right direction if Jordan Love had completed just one bomb at the end of one of those close-loss games to win it and make the Packers 3 - 4 instead of 2 - 5?

They call them “growing pains” for a reason. Are we just not able to accept in our guts what our brains said would happen (young offense, lots of drops and penalties)? Or is there a way to be 2 - 5 and say “gee, I think things are going okay for this rebuild”?

[Bretsky]

I was at 7-10; Ino not really too surprised by much other than Watson being worse than I even though and the Dollar Tree trade Gutebag gave to the Bills for Rasul

[King Friday]

I think most had more hope for the OL and weren’t expecting it to devolve into a complete tire fire.

[Bretsky]

our OL can get better from within if we just get the best players on the field

[texaspackerbacker]

Love's overall quality as well as LaFleur's playcalling both took a major leap forward in Sunday's game. Of course, it was the Rams, and the fools and negativists in here will whine about that, but the Rams had (and still have 3 wins), probably the best D Lineman in the NFL, and a very highly regarded coach.

Regarding this poll, I say again, ALL of them give the Packers hope for the future, and a helluva lot of it to anybody with a lick of sense.
