From Lambeau to Lombardi, Holmgren, McCarthy and LaFleur and from Starr to Favre, Rodgers and now Jordan Love we’re talking Super Bowl Champion Green Bay Packers football. This Packers Forum is the place to talk NFL football and everything Packers. So, pull up a keyboard, make yourself at home and let’s talk some Packers football.
That Reed TD over the middle honest to god to likes Rodgers. The way he just flipped his whole body to zing it.
That ball was so pretty. The speed, the accuracy...
Good example of how a laser and pin point accurate ball can make a receiver look very open.
Love is so Rodgers esque, the footwork, the arm motions, snap release, tight window throws, obviously he has to clean up stuff, but we said that for 15 years with Rodgers
He does still have stuff to clean up, Even Tiger at his peak was always working on something and he was one of the most dominating sports figures ever in his craft. But this kid is starting do the things we could see he could do, consistently. I think he'll get even better at it. he's shown growth and it's way better than encouraging at this point. He made some good plays, now he's making some wow plays and his ooofff plays are getting fewer and fewer.
will Love actually outperform Rodgers in the playoffs despite being objectively a worse thrower because he is superior mentally under pressure and actually follows the gameplan given to him by the coaches?
This is the key question and an accurate assessment of what we have seen of Love's ability so far. How he performs under pressure will go a long way in determining his value.

Yes. For instance, the TD to Reed was a WOW play. He saw it and let it rip.

I'm pretty convinced Jordan Love has the ability to evolve into an accurate gunslinger if he chooses to go in that direction ............. sort of a hybrid Favre / Elway. Depends on his ability to throw rocket balls. If not, that's OK. There's nothing not to like so far. Jordan's mental toughness and attitude is a great asset already. As he and LaCoach are saying now ............. the sky's the limit (for the Packers offense with Jordan Love at the helm). Another big plus: Jordan Love's leadership is seemingly real / authentic. Jordan Love could evolve into another Bart Starr.

A glance at the defense and a little element of surprise from the Packers will be reviewed here. The Packers made what might be considered some unconventional calls against the Vikings' rookie and journeymen QBs to keep them off-balance.
It's getting more and more fun to watch QB Jordan Love run the Packers' offense.
His pre-snap command was on full display in Minnesota, and he won the cat-and-mouse game at the line of scrimmage to keep the Packers in a rhythm throughout the game.
Here's the rundown.
