Hmm... Watson and Nixon stand out.

If Jones and/or Cobb come down with those passes, Love may have been the favorite.

Candidates for your consideration:

Labrev --------------------- OLB Justin Hollins
BF004 ----------------------- RB AJ Dillon
NCF ------------------------- QB Jordan Love
Cdragon -------------------- OLB Kingsley Enagbare
go pak go ------------------- S Rudy Ford
Yoop -------------------------- CB Keisean Nixon
Actually got some decent options.

Wish Nixon wouldn’t have fumbled or did something bigger on D, only one nice tackle on a screen I can remember.

Enagbare was awesome early, wore down later on.

Ford was everywhere and tackling hard and sure.

Dillon had some production.

Hollins had a few plays, wore down and lost contain a few teams, exceeded my expectations.

Love looked real good. Wish he could have punched in a TD at the end.

Nixon has a strong case, Rudy Ford keeps making plays, Watson just gets open, Love gave us a chance, Enagbare was having a game but wore down.

However....

I vote Justin Hollins.

Didn't know he was a Packer before going through the picks. Had a sack and contributed to a fumble.

I have a tough time going with a defensive player on one of the worst defensive performances from the Packers in some time.

I can't vote for Watson, so it's Love or Nixon (for some great returns). I'm going with Love. Although the defense was a bit prevent - those were some excellent passes. Additionally, he showed some good poise and command.

It’s between Nixon and Watson for me. I could be convinced of Love, too.

No way a defensive player deserves it this week. Splash plays are nice but when it’s all garbage outside of those splash plays, you don’t get my vote. Nixon ST plays are his saving grace.

I’ll sleep on it and listen to arguments.

I’m going with Love. Far exceeded my expectations.

I'm going Nixon simply because he had like an average return of 50 yards after his disasterous start.

Love on deck. If Love hit Lazard for a score he would have won it. Honestly to come off the bench and then nearly lead the team back is pretty special. But he missed the 2nd TD.

So I am voting Nixon.

I'm also thinking Nixon because it's so unusual for us to see our return specialist put our offense well past the 25 on several occasions.

But man, Watson is a real close second: 6 targets, 4 catches, 110(?) yards, TD. 'Only reason he's not a shoo-in is because this is the third week he has had a big game. This is what he's doing as a very raw rookie; the sky truly is the limit.

Holy sh*t this guy has talent doesn't he?

Obviously this can go either way, but there is serious reason to be very optimistic about the 2022 WR Draft class. Likely 1 to 2 will end up being just guys. But it is also very possible 1 if not 2 of these guys turn out to be very, very good players.

All 3 have flashed brilliantly. Watson is showing why he was taken so high.

I can't vote for Nixon, like his size in the slot, and vision returning kicks, good open field runner, doesn't over run his blocks.

It's so nice to see a player explode out of his breaks, Watson impresses with every game now.

Love's play last night should convince GM's that it's better to groom rookie and young QB's a few seasons rather then start them to early, Love played like a seasoned vet as a result of that, more poised in the pocket then we've ever seen before, and made quick decisions when protection broke down.

We've seen what Watson is capable of for a month, Last night Loves performance was better then I expected, he gets my vote.

Love for sure. Definitely exceeded expectations and gives us hope that we had our glimpse into the future like Rodgers against the Cowboys. I think you need a QB with mobility these days who can also play in the pocket. Even if he doesn't become a HOF QB we may have a serviceable replacement in a run happy offense. Kind of like Tannehill.

Love looked like a sharp knife right out of the box.
