Love - no worse than Rodgers in 2022

This kid can really throw it. I mean look at this, god damn.

You’re late to the party, I was kinda late too. Welcome to the Love train baby.

If by 'throw' you mean casually flicking the empty soda can into the wastebasket, then yes.

Christ, he makes shit look easy.

Not even if they buy a ticket?

I still have questions about his deep ball accuracy but no significant questions about his short game. He does seem to throw behind guys more often than I'd like. I think this lack of accuracy may be off-set by his willingness to sling it. He is a weird mashup of Brett and Aaron where he'll throw it up anywhere but somehow doesn't actually throw interceptions.

They've basically stopped throwing the deep sideline passes that he was missing so badly on. Some of that may be due to not having Watson. He's still a work in progress, but he's making throws Rodgers wouldn't even attempt early in his career.

That's the sort of throw they tell young QB's to never do, unless your name is Brett Favre or Aaron Rodgers... or Jordan Love.

Yeah, late, across your body and over the middle is a bad combination, especially if you don't throw it where only your guy can catch it.
Love has outplayed the 2008 and 2022 versions of Rodgers. Looks like we're all going to see how his career unfolds. I expect they'll be announcing an extension in May.

He does have a list of things to work on -- his footwork being one. MLF did adjust plays to his strengths (as he should) but smart teams will watch film and find ways to better defend and take away the throws he does best.
I think if he works on his fundamentals his accuracy will improve everywhere on the field. Assuming there is continued improvement and development at the skill positions, that will help him out too.

Everyone can polish fundamentals. Until the retire. They’ll never stop doing that.


But Love is very accurate falling away and it’s far better for him to fall a way more often than to stand in there too often and get killed. That is way overblown to me.

Occasionally he doest have his feet turned in the right direction and I see him miss 90% of those. But those are rare in the second half of the season. Maybe one every two games lately.

The primary criticism people lay on his fundamentals is the fall away, and I insist it’s an asset.

I agree. Falling away actually increases accuracy. Think step back 3. Think of SS throwing off balance in MLB. However you lose a little steam doing it. Love has shown a master class ability to throw off platform. All the things Zack Wilson was supposed to do.

Well Bosa did make Rodgers his bitch so he should know.
