Oh, please, JL is "...currently the most polarizing figure on this team". Polorazing?!!
"So now there’s this. And now Love is going to have a larger target on him when training camp opens at the end of July." Off of one quote? I doubt Love would feel any extra pressure over one of his receivers paying him a complement about his throwing ability. Off season article for sure.

How Jordan Love deals with a teammate's hyperbole is pretty far down the list of mental challenges he's going to have to confront and reconcile as he attempts to justify his ascension to QB1.

I'm more interested in seeing his reactions and his makeup on the field when they're a score down with the ball and two minutes, after he throws his first pick 6, or, heaven forbid, a receiver runs a wrong route.

I honestly don't believe it paints a bigger target on Love or even increases expectations. I mean common...A 2nd year 4th round WR who's played in 12 games talking out his ass?

At the end of the day it's awesome Doubs is confident in his new QB, but IMO it doesn't add a bit of added pressure to Love. Matter of fact, I thought of it as more of a dig at Rodgers than anything.

Like it or not AR12 WASN'T there for his rookie WRs last season in OTAs or voluntary workouts. Rodgers wasn't there until he HAD to be there, even after they gave him $153 million reasons why. Hell, Rodgers did NOTHING for these guys last season. At least nothing extra...Not even a smidgen of extra!

I don't know about you, but after getting an extension like that, you'd at least think Rodgers would have showed up for that...Just like he did in NY this spring.

It is not only fair, it is an absolute fact of reality. Rodgers had a 95 qb rating his first year as a starter. So we knew that their poor record that year was not 'on him'.
This is the big boy league. You either are or you aren't a good or bad player. Everyone is compared with everyone.
The chances of Love being the Packers third straight Hall of Famer are astronomically low.
If he is not up to that standard then the whole Packer organization is in trouble until they find their next one.
That's how things work in the big boy league.

Jordan is Jorden. And we are about to see what that means. I understand people projecting but I believe that the majority of Packers fans are in a wait and see mode. Jordan has had pressure on him since he was drafted. But he sure seems calm in the storm that others have created.

Cory, Cory, Cory…

Jordan Love is ready, and Love could very well wind up being better than both Favre and Rodgers.

Doubs had that level of confidence in Love to make that statement, and I don’t think he was speaking for himself on that. He’s not alone.

Hell, Rodgers knew it!

Here I thought “the one quote,” was going to be that one where Doubs said Aaron Rodgers never said one word to him… ever.

Jordan Love isn’t made of glass. He’s tough. He’s competitive. He’s ready.

Here I was thinking how TC would be where we would see how Love was doing.
I think any talk about Love being the next bust or HOF QB should be put on hold for awhile.
Just MHO

Sure it's Fair!
Damn Right; Love has to be good as Rodgers.
Especially with the game on the line.
And if he isn't. Fire Gute too.
Seriously, just stop the baby talk.

I don’t think Doubs’ comment will have any affect on Packer fans who have any degree of perspective.

Maybe all he’s saying is that Love’s abilities to move around and sling the pigskin are as good or better than the 39 year old version of 12, and it’s hard to imagine he’s wrong regarding those skills.

He’s obviously confident in Love, and that is great!

When Paul Pressey first practiced with the Bucks, he said they could win all 82 games. He was young, he lacked perspective and experience, but the takeaway was that he thought the team looked really good. I see this comment from Doubs in much the same way.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!

How many weeks until training camp?

Doubs: "When you go from Aaron Rodgers to Jordan, Aaron was a really great quarterback, but I believe Jordan can do the same exact thing. So, I don’t really see what’s the big difference.”

What was Doubs frame of reference with Rodgers here? Last season. 8-9 record. Average QB play. Playoffs on the line and Rodgers laid another egg in another must win game. Yeah...Love should be able to do that! And based on Doubs one year of experience, he believes Jordan can probably do better than the QB play in 2022.

Romeo was not was saying is Jordan Love is a HOF lock. What's he supposed to say about his QB? "Rodgers is gone and we have a huge hole at QB to fill. Hope we can win a game or two."

Cory, hand on the thermometer in the QB sauna: "And now Love is going to have a larger target on him when training camp opens at the end of July."

More hyperbole: "Jordan Love, the unassuming quarterback that is currently the most polarizing figure on this team..."

Correction sir, that polarizing figure has left the building. Dragging his grudges to New Jersey.

I'll look forward to some better material to comment on later, Cory. I know you can only do so much with what happens this time of year.

The pot calling the kettle black if ever I saw it.

As few pointed out Romeo Doubs practices almost only with Jordan Love from his entering NFL.

We know, from one source that ACR was not practicing much with youngsters (especially not with rookies), and he did not even talk with some of them, not even one word.

So, what was the exposure of Doubs to ACR? Only in games reps, on very small number. Because, Alen Lazard and Randall Cobb taking the reps from him, forcing them by ACR. He learned how looks like to be in the ACR dog house and on short leash.

Watching ACR playing last season from side or from games he might be correct. Jordan Love can not be worse than ACR last season. And Doubs is sure that he will knows all plays called by Jordan Love contrary to play calls coming of the mouth of ACR before snap, which were (reported on that issue) from Mike McCarthy play book years ago before last years rookies was at Packers roster.

Jordan Love said that he learned a lot from sitting behind ACR. I hope he will avoid predictability of ACR snap counts, staring at the player he wanted to throw the ball, avoiding middle of the field at cost of losing down (throwing the ball away), starring at the player(s) if the player did not catch his throw and his the most popular "throwing under the bus" his team mates and coaches publicly.

What the season score will be, I do not know, but I'm staying with my prediction - from 6, 7 to 10, 11 all the way to 11, 10 to 6, 7. But that score will not be only on Jordan Love. It will be, as always TEAM SCORE.

As the last remark on your article, Cory, I want to point out that there is no larger pressure on anybody than pressure which is come from inside the person.

Doubs Ruins Jordan Love’s Career:
Receiver Romeo (Where Art Thou) Doubs compares Love to Rodgers. Packers Fans get trolled by everyone. . Hyperbole at best.

Too many unanswered questions if you read between the lines and consider what Doubs *didn't* say. Could bring down the entire franchise, but I'm staying neutral on this issue until Ed Wood weighs in.

"Comparing Jordan Love to Aaron Rodgers Isn't Fair"

Comparing a 15 year veteran to a player that has 1 official start under his belt simply can't be compared. You have someone who has literally seen everything possible, compared to a guy that is just getting his feet wet. But there are things we can compare. We can compare Love to Rodgers when he first became the starter. Those are similar situations. Both following a 15 year veteran.

Now lets take what Doubs said..

“I think Jordan is a really good quarterback,” said Romeo Doubs recently. “When you go from Aaron Rodgers to Jordan, Aaron was a really great quarterback, but I believe Jordan can do the same exact thing. So, I don’t really see what’s the big difference.”

Doubs likely spent more time catching balls from Love then he did Rodgers. He has built a rapport with Love, way more then what he built with Rodgers. He came in during a down year for Rodgers. There are reasons why Doubs said what he said. The version of Rodgers that he saw and played with was not the MVP Rodgers. He averaged 217 yards per game last year. By far his lowest in his career. Doubs obviously feels confident that Love can at the very minimum match Rodgers numbers from last year. I get why Doubs said what he said, and I don't see any problems with it.

As I posted on a different thread here at CHTV last evening, I don't believe that the pressure is on Jordan Love for 2023, the pressure is on the OL.

Love's performance will be the direct output of the effectiveness of the Packers OL play. Just like any other QB plays as well as their OL plays in front of them.
If we get people blocked Love will be fine. Yes, he will need time to learn and evolve into the position but solid OL play in front of him can make the his transition much easier and help to "slow the game down" for him.

Starr played behind Lombardi's OL, the best of all time IMO, and became a HOF QB and 5 time NFL champion.
Favre played behind Holmgren's OL and learned the game and became a 3 time MVP, SB winner and HOF QB.
Rodgers played behind the poorest of the great Packer eras OLs and became a 4 time MVP, SB winner and HOF QB.
Love's fate will be determined by the quality of his OL play assuming that Love has what it takes to succeed as an NFL QB. That includes good footwork, strong arm, solid decision making, ability to read defenses and sound ball security.

The issue is we haven't see enough of Love yet to fairly evaluate his abilities and we also don't know enough about the Packers OL, especially the right side, to know how effectively they will play in front of Love.

Therefore before anyone begins comparing Love with Rodgers or Favre or any other QB let's see if Love's OL can keep him vertical while he is still trying to learn the game and adjust to the speed of NFL level play. Let's remember that Love has not played on a weekly basis since his college career ended over 3 years ago. Forget about him being virtually a rookie NFL QB, how would we feel about any QB who was returning to start in the NFL after a 3 year hiatus from playing? Give Love a chance, let him be his own player, the comparisons can will come later. Doubs and other comments are just off season BS, hype and speculation. Thanks, Since '61

Does context not mean anything anymore? Doubs never played with prime Rodgers. He only played with 2022 Rodgers who absolutely stunk. Per Doubs, Rodgers barely even talked to him last year. But he's supposed to drool all over a whiny old veteran who played like crap, threw everyone under the bus, and ignored him all season? I dont see anything wrong with what he said. It aint Doubs job to fawn over muh hall of famer.

FAIR is my least favorite 4-letter 'F' word...

Fair almost always means "do it my way" in the context of it's use.

I hate it when people interject the F-word Fair into a discussion.

LOL. I long for the day we say comparing AR to JL is not fair. JL believes in a higher power...AR believes in himself.
JL foundation is as solid as can be. I pray for much success for JL and my GBP. I have never seen AR more happy to be elsewhere and I never liked his childish narcissistic behavior. I have more than moved on Cory. GPG

"I’m not saying that Love is going to sling it like No. 12, but there are probably only a handful of people all-time that can."

Well Corey, Rodgers didn't have a winning record last year, so I'm not so sure the bar is quite as high as you make it out to be. I can remember Rodgers "slinging it" last year and if my memory is correct I saw more than a few of those "slings" go in the dirt and well over the head of the intended target. Plus, the Packers were dead last in red zone scoring last season and that is where many quarterbacks make their bread and butter.

Love is a young, hungry quarterback with a number of talented football players who will be helping him and the Packers compete. Jordan has all the tools he needs and three years of preparation under his belt to learn the system, the players, and the plays, along with a set of coaches who are helping to improve him every day.

I think you went a little overboard with this article.

My bet would be in 14 years of totality if all added up, Rodgers laid more eggs than he hatched as good and above plays vs his failures!

Aside from people who are desperately searching for something - anything - to write about, nobody gives a crap about Doubs and his entirely harmless comment.

Kind of a silly take here Cory. A player expressing extreme confidence in his QB is to be expected. What should he say? Whatever pressure is on Love, its not increased by this comment. HIs pressure will be to justify a new contract and a future with the team and in the league, just like any other young starter.

Jerry Granville said the” NFL is not for long” and we will find out soon enough if Jordan is our Trey Lance.
