The Green Bay Packers might have done it once more. They might have discovered the next big thing at quarterback. Jordan Love, obviously, has a long way to go before he can join the ranks of great Packers Hall of Fame quarterbacks. Love, on the other hand, is having arguably the best first season as a starting quarterback in franchise history.
The Green Bay Packers might have done it once more. They might have discovered the next big thing at quarterback. Jordan Love, obviously, has a long way to go before he can join the ranks of great Packers Hall of Fame quarterbacks. Love, on the other hand, is having arguably the best first season as a starting quarterback in franchise history.
Not only is Love leading the Packers to the NFL Playoffs in his first season, but he has stats comparable to Aaron Rodgers’ in 2008, when he took over the starting job from Brett Favre. Consider their combined stats through 12 games:
Quarterback for the Green Bay Packers Jordan Love has had a three-game winning streak like no other (literally).
Jordan Love, the Green Bay Packers’ quarterback, has a three-game winning streak like no other (literally).
The Packers have won four of their last five games, including three straight. Love’s play has been on another level during that time. As seen above, his numbers are comparable to Rodgers’ in his first year. However, neither Rodgers nor any other quarterback in NFL history has ever had numbers like these:
If credit is going to be given where it is due, a great deal of it should go to Love himself for his good decision making and stellar play. However, these numbers are also indicative of the improvements his wide receivers have made.
Furthermore, the Green Bay offensive line has done a great job overall of keeping Love clean and giving him time to throw.Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers are overcoming adversity.

What is amazing about these numbers is that the Packers’ offense has been dealing with a plethora of injuries. Last night, they defeated the defending Super Bowl Champions without their starting running back, tight end, and left tackle. In addition, their wide receiver one, Christian Watson, left the game early with an injury.
Green Bay’s ability to win games in the last month is a testament to how good the young players, the future of this team, can be. As the season has progressed, Love and his rookie wide receivers and other playmakers have continued to grow and improve.
If they can keep everyone healthy and win games until the end of the season, this could be a very dangerous team to face in the NFL Playoffs.
