If Jordan Love ball in like many of us hope/expect, and start the season on 5-0 or 4-1 note, than be injured for lets say 3 games, nothing is lost. 5-3 or 4-4 record is easily turn out to 10-7 or 11-6 when Jordan come back. If Jordan will be lost for the season by more severe injury, than experience back up would not save the season.

In case that Packers will be after 5 games 5-0 or 4-1, FO and coaching staff will have their answer about Jordan Love.

IMPORTANT: I wish everyone one of your most important holiday - Independance Day!

Very few NFL teams can get their starting quarterback hurt and carryon without a hiccup. Backup QBs that can carry a team for an extended period are not commonplace. The Packers are no different. Pretty obvious that Love needs to stay healthy. I guess this is the type of article that happens in July.

All of you writers, and a lot of fans CLAIM that this is a "Prove it Year" for Laf and Gute... or that LaF and Gute are "On the Hot Seat"... but the actual facts are that this is FAR from the truth. The Org has given zero indication that they'd want to move on after this year from either. In fact, I believe LaF is just as embedded as the Steelers coach. STOP making these claims until you have evidence in writing that the Board, or anyone else with authority has alluded to them being on the Hot Seat... Fan Hot Seats are worth their weight in crap.

"The Packers have a real shot to win the NFC North this year. The defense appears locked and loaded and the offense is going to be in lockstep with what Packers coach Matt LaFleur wants to do. And Love appears like the perfect person to lead the Packers simply because he is willing to listen."

The Packers DO have a real shot to win the NFC North this season, but SO much has to go right IMO for that to happen.

The Defense is loaded with talent, I have no doubt about that. I do however have my doubts about the the Packers DC, Joe Barry. Hey, maybe Barry will actually put his players in position to succeed. Or maybe he continues to do it only occasionally and we continue to see Alexander and Douglas lined up 8 yards off on 3rd and 4.

I also see Love as a player who can and will succeed in Green Bay, but it's also not going to happen overnight. Patience is going to be the key for Jordan Love. It's also going to be key for the entire WR and TE groups. I mean these guys are so young. Nothing would make me happier to watch the Packers make the playoffs, but as long as I'm seeing progress and signs of things REALLY starting to come together for the offense at the end of the season, I'll be happy with that.

PROGRESS...That's what I want to see this season. Progress and signs that this offense is growing together. As long as that's happening in 2023, then in 2024 & beyond things will be even better.

Thank you Cory and Andy for your articles over the 4th. Secondly Happy Independence Day to all the readers on this site.
You know there's no reason that Green Bay should have a pro sports team of any kind. Yet not only do they have a pro football team, they have the most winning established team with the most championships.
I look at the US in the same arc. There is no way we should have won our Independence from the greatest power on earth at that time...except they did.
So cheers to the greatest sports team in the greatest country and hope everyone enjoys the holidays safely.
Just MHO

We should be looking at Teddy Bilgewater.

Here are my thoughts on this coming season.

For the first time as long as I can remember, I really do not care what their record looks like. I certainly do hope they win more than they lose but to me it is not that important.

What is important is that the FO can determine if Love is the answer for us. And this is more than wins and losses. And the timing of this is so very important IMHO. I like Love a lot and have heard so many good things about him. I wish he was a bit more cocky in that it shows extreme confidence. I suppose you can be confident without being cocky but if he was a bit cocky, I would be more sold on him.

If he proves that he is the QB to lead our team in the future that would be great and since we have probably two first round draft picks next year I would hope we would draft a stud DL and a great db that can play safety. I do not know who that DL would be but for db, I like Cooper Dejean from Iowa. He is fast, smart, a good teammate and he can play safety or cornerback.

If Love does not look like the answer, there a couple of excellent QB's coming out next year and with a couple of first rounders, we may be able to package them to get the QB that we would want. Let's all hope that 'Love is the answer'.

It should be a fun year and it will be exciting to watch this team mature as the season goes along.

Let's just stop comparing Love to Rodgers.
Let's compare Love, or Clifford, to Brett Favre.
He started after the trade,
There was No excuses.
And thats the way to handle a Qb.
Let them Learn and show they can be a NFL QB.
When given a chance; Brady made the most of it.
Babies belong in high chairs.
Let's be done with the talk.
Either Love shows he can Lead.
Or were the biggest Smucks in the NFL.

I am so glad you brought the Crocslinger into this.

After the trade, and after the starter got hurt, he started 13 games, going 8-5. He had a passer rating of 85.3 and had 13 interceptions. Next year, his very first as a full time starter, he led the league in interceptions with 22 and had a passer rating of 72.2

In his first 29 starts, he threw 37 interceptions. I think there is absolutely no chance that Love won't do better than that.

A lot of people have opined that opposing defenses will load up the box early and make Jordan Love prove he can beat them through the air. I think that will turn out to be a mistake because he can and will do it, provided the WRs and TEs do their job. Now should Clifford have to enter the game, expect a prolonged dose of that approach in addition to third-down blitzes on many opportunities. No judgment being made on Clifford here, but the less we see of the backup QB, the better--unless it's mop-up duty when we've wrapped up the game in the fourth quarter (don't know how many times we'd be that far ahead, though).

This is essentially true of all teams in this league....Example, if the 40 year old delicate genius gets hurt the Jets are starting Zach Wilson. ...if Mahomes goes down the Chiefs start Blaine Gabbert....They are not SB contenders as that point. Hell, I would not be surprised if Clifford would actually be an average backup production wise.

3 things, Love will be fine,re member Rodgers was a loser his first year starting, so why all the hype on Love.? Give the guy a break and see how he performs. And who the hell has already baptized Clifford as the back up? Clifford will more than likely be PS candidate and someone with experience will come after being cut in the preseason.

Another article that assumes Sean Clifford is the backup QB. He will actually be competing for that job with Danny Etling, who played very well last preseason. I would not be surprised at all if Etling wins the job and Clifford is placed on the practice squad.

Whether it's Clifford or Etling, we will have an inexperienced backup QB, which is often the case. It's a roll of the dice for sure. Lots of teams operate that way. But a lot of veteran backups are terrible QBs anyway. So I'm okay with this situation as long as either Clifford or Etling has a decent preseason.

"Love appears like the perfect person to lead the Packers simply because he is willing to listen."

This made me laugh out loud.

And what the hell is this "magic needle" that Love threaded? Magic needle?? Is that like getting a secret cortisone shot so you can play with a blown out knee?

And why title the piece "Jordan Love cannot get hurt" when the real message of the article appears to be "If Clifford plays, the Packers are screwed"? Why not just title the article, "If Clifford plays the Packers are screwed?" Why do I always get the distinct impression that these article are begun without the author having the slightest idea how they will end?

We don't know if the Packers are going to win or lose this year but we do know they will lose if Love gets hurt. If that happens, let Clifford play. Expectations will be low (meaning we're not going to the SB) so use the opportunity to develop another young QB this year.

Yes—and that’s why I say sign Wentz as a backup.
We’ve been been down this road before with an injured QB—must have a “backup” plan.
Go Packers!!!

it wouldn't hurt to have a backup veteran there was mention of Joe Flacco , still could happen.

you dont draft a clifford period end of story unless your name is gutt the genius. the hof qb era is over. you enjoyed great wb play now sit back and see what your missing. no t gonna be pretty.

Yes, this is a "prove it" year for Love, LaFleur and Gutey. But if the QB gets hurt, that's not their fault. They won't be judged on winning if the starter at the most important position goes down. Plus. we don't know that GB won't decide to upgrade that QB back-up spot if Love does go down. Or even if they don't like what they see in preseason.
