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.
But backup QB is and can be a hugely important contributor even without ever setting foot on the field. A lot of actual real practice for starters doesn't happen with #12 under center. The opponent that gets your defense ready each week is run by your backup QB.
Nothing makes a football run like a well oiled machine better than a good backup QB.
This is where Aaron really began to shine and where Jordan appears to doing so as well.
That's a lot more valuable than some dude that's going play a few ST plays a game but otherwise contribute little.
I am open to rethinking my stance on the value of any given position, but the argument that backup QBs are very important because they get the defense ready in practice each week is rather underwhelming. I haven't heard anything about Jordan Love shining in these moments, either.
So what exactly makes Love better than your run-of-the-mill JAG backup -- that he has a starting-caliber arm unlike most of them? That would seem to largely be offset by the fact he doesn't read defenses well or have good ball placement like an actual starter. He's a good QB to practice against if Mike Glennon is the opposing signal-caller, but it's not like our defense is going up against Justin Herbert every week, much less Rodgers.

Went Yosh and Reed again. I'm surprised Yosh not getting more love. Swing tackle with a good chance to start week 1 for Jenkins. Reed will be asked to come up big on passing downs
It's pretty muddled in this group but Yosh is an easy vote for me. Thought he should have went already esp before Newman
Reed got 2.5 sacks last year. Despite playing 70% of the snaps. Last season, Reed’s pass-rush win rate was just 8.0 percent, which ranked 78th out of 83 qualifying defensive linemen in the NFL, per PFF.
people can ask him to come up big on passing yards but he won't.
who know why he only had 2.5 sacks last year, but Reeds capable of more then that
Is jarran Reed good?
Considering his background and historic production (19 sacks in his last three seasons in Seattle), he is the best defensive tackle to play alongside Clark since Mike Daniels. Reed's best season so far was 2018, when he had 50 tackles, 31 pressures, 10.5 sacks, and 12 tackles for loss for Seattle.
