I didn't like drafting Love, and listened to people saying he could have lasted till our pick, mostly because I wanted a WR, I had tunnel vision, when I came to my senses there where 3 other teams interested in him,Realist wrote: ↑12 Jul 2022 19:47As I have said b4. Love played in a weak conference and really wasn't good enough given the competition to be drafted where he was. Saying he sucks is unfair. He is exactly what he is. Not a starting nfl qb. Not his fault.Drj820 wrote: ↑12 Jul 2022 17:47I don’t think love sucks because he doesn’t start for the packers. I think he sucks because what I have seen him do on the field in practice and in games with my own eyes...well, sucks.Yoop wrote: ↑12 Jul 2022 16:04unless a QB starts in first 2 years, they suck and where over drafted according to some
in reality most QB's suck and where over drafted, why? cause teams don't take the time to develop QB's, it's expensive, time, and roster spot consuming, if ya use a first round pick fans will expect him to start quickly, and while you can find a good one in later rounds, it's not as likely.
it is about money, we'll spend 3 to 4 mil grooming Love, and if he duds out it could have a reflection on the Gute for moving up to take him, but I'd Rather spend what is small potatoes compared to buying one, and again it's to tough a call at this stage to know how good Love will become, you people belong to that first group that expects that if a QB isn't starting year two there never going to be any good, and that is so lame.
“Sucks” is not a permanent label. One can improve and graduate from suckdom status. It’s rare, but possible.
NFL teams are captivated by Love, mostly due to his size and athleticism. He’s 6-foot-4, 225 pounds and had a 4.52 40-yard dash time. Love's production last season fell off the cliff compared to his 2018 season when he threw for 32 touchdowns and 6 interceptions. The strong armed, athletic quarterback threw for 8,600 yards and 60 touchdowns in his last three seasons.
It’s worth noting that Love lost many key starters along the offensive line and at the skill positions in his senior year at Utah State, leading many scouts to conclude that a more talented surrounding cast could greatly enhance his level of play in the NFL. It has now been confirmed that the talented signal caller has taken part in virtual meetings via telecommunication applications with the Dolphins, Chargers, Raiders, Saints, Packers and Colts.
those two clips show that other teams did have interest, that he was very good when he had talent, and he has the mechanics to be very good.
the small school thing to me is over blown, plenty of great nfl players came from small schools, the goal is to find raw talent, it's where the term draft and develop comes from, and Jorden has that, the chore is to advance his reaction and mental ability to the speed of the pro game, and that is different from player to player.
LIS I didn't like the pick, but it had little to do with the player, the best thing that could have happened for Love is to sit behind Rodgers for 2 or 3 years, he basically lost year 1 because of covid, so another year or even two wont hurt, grooming for 3 years produced Rodgers, also a small school player, grooming for a few seasons behind a starter is the best thing you can do for a young QB imo.
