Why all the "LOVE"?

[MadtownPacker]

Agree with that. I think the injuries made him reluctant to do so. I also think he wants to be a passer not a runner perhaps a bit too stubbornly, but i don't see anything wrong with running 5-6 yards and sliding if there's nobody open. 2nd and 5 is better than 2nd and 10, obviously.

Yeah, it was frustrating to watch. That’s pretty much how Mahomes keeps drives alive. Seems to work well for KC.

[MadtownPacker]

I think it's a matter of coaching - he's being told to keep the running to a minimum. Willis has more of a reputation as a runner than Love, and he didn't run much either when he played.

I also have wondered this too. Cause it sure as hell looks like he’s thinking don’t run don’t run.

i think there's general agreement here that Love needs to use his legs more. He doesn't need to go crashing into linebackers and defensive backs, but if he sees open field on third-and-seven, then, well, Run Forrest, Run.

And slide at the end before you get hit.

Coming off a pcl tear and then dealing with a slight groin pull, I'd be hesitant to run. The injuries more than likely affected his footwork at times as well.

[SkinBasket]

Fair enough. His regression was very foreseeable. Anyone that thought it wasn't a real possibility was fooling themselves. It wasn't guaranteed, but it was why many of us were worried about the contract since it was based on only about half a year of play.

Hahahaha! You are so full of shit, you strawman beating JLO cocksucker. Go back and read yo posts, since no one else wants to. Holy shit. Wow!

[SkinBasket]

Apology?? Don’t be so pathetic dude this is the fucking Internet not your relationship . But I get your need for validation. I said it looks like you were right. Save that Oprah Winfrey type shit for afternoon television shows you tiny racist fuck!

Says the guy who says making fun of Love’s hair is racist. Gaaaaaayyyyy. To the bone.

Dude you are firing more blanks than on date night. If I recall, that was the one thing you said that was funny and agreed with because he does look like sideshow Bob with that cut. You made it racial by being yourself but we accept you here regardless. Low standards are your friend!

[SkinBasket]

Low standards are your friend!

I’m picturing Mike Lindell right now, and not for the reasons you’re thinking.

Also, I’ve never asked you, I don’t think, but seriously, you are legal aren’t you? I mean, you flew on a plane and everything, but modern times has me questioning all kinds of thangs. Don’t worry, I don’t know how to contact ICE.

Born and raised in the valley of Cali but don’t make this convo political please stay on track.

Funny I have always wanted to ask you if you are legally considered a Little Person. I just remember MJZiggy being about your same height but she was 4’11” and thin. You would’ve made an awesome Tyrion Lannister with your cool wit and snappy comebacks.

2026 but it will be for another team then Skin will bandwagon with them.

Lafleur just can't spread enough love on Love. expressed all his love on Love in the post game presser. I don't blame him, but I would also like to see a coach state the absolute facts about his QB's play in 2024. It wasn't near good enough for the Packers to actually contend for a championship.

Yes, injuries, rise above them, the previous two QB1's played exceptionally well through injuries. The rest of the QBs in the league play through injuries. I am sure he is going to get his knee cleaned up in the off season, and Love never made excuses about his injuries impacting his play.

Lack of a true #1 receiver, I see the frustration with Doubs not showing up to practices, having extremely weak neck muscles that he can't brace his head when fall to the ground. His neck is like a limp noodle as his head just slams to the ground each time he goes airborne. Also the biggest frustration and concern is Watson. He is one of the best deep threats in the league, but his constant leg injuries are probably going to cut his career short with Green Bay as his health has consistently hampered his ability to become that #1 receiver. Regardless the receiver room is talented not top heavy but with the two tight ends there are open receivers on just about every pass play, the concern for me is that Love is struggling with his reads and downfield vision.

See I heard this the other week, really good QB's have their primary focus downfield, while their secondary focus is on the defenders trying to sack them. Think of your secondary focus as instinct, that timer in the back of your head. It's more feel than recognition. Love really struggles with dividing his attention between the pass rush and what is going on in the secondary, when he scrambles out of the pocket he lacks vision, gets target lock on the first green jersey he sees, and he truly lacks accuracy throwing on the run. Favre was better than Rodgers at plays that broke the pocket because of his weird 6th sense, and his gifts of improvisation, but Rodgers was also excellent because he seemed to keep his eyes downfield and could leverage defenders with his legs. Both Favre and Rodgers had the arm strength and the accuracy to make any throw on the run without having to properly set their feet. Packer fans were truly spoiled watching these two maneuver the pocket and make plays when things broke down. Not sure if this is something where Love can get exponentially better at.

Love has an NFL average arm. I am talking strength and accuracy. His accuracy really struggles when he can't rely on rhythm throws. balls sail on him all the time. He needs his footwork to be spot on for him to constantly make completions. Again Packer fans have been spoiled, Favre and Rodgers had ridiculously strong arms and could make throws from any angle with their feet in any position, but Love isn't even in the same atmosphere as those guys.

He let the interceptions bother him earlier in the year, and became tentative. His interceptions were bad, they weren't good throws or good decisions. A lot of the really bad ones to me were out of desperation and panic. It wasn't because he was trying to sling a fastball over the middle between two defenders. His interceptions were not aggressive mistakes, they were bad throws and bad decisions. Fine don't do that anymore, but you still have to be aggressive throwing the ball down field, you can't be tentative with those throws, slow lobs over the middle are bad for business, constant check downs are bad for business.

Overall I didn't see a lot of confidence showing through in his play this year. I think he is talented but he doesn't hold a candle to the guys ahead of him, and that is alright, not many do. I am just not sure he has the overall ability to carry this team to a Super Bowl. There are going to have be a lot of pieces put around him. He isn't going any where with that contract, so the Packers need to insulate him as much as possible.

An impressive analysis. Thank you. Woodbuck

Possibly the sickest burn I have read in years. (never met skin. envisioned him as 6'1" and 137 lbs.)

You can think someone's hair looks goofy without making it a race thing. Only an idiot reduces everything to race.

Yeah, but when you're also calling him a half-white etc., it's a reasonable inference to draw...context matters.
