BRUTALLY: Following Week 17, Green Bay Packers fans brutally roast a player for his latest Jordan love comments.
The Green Bay Packers are 8-8 and one win away from making the NFL Playoffs. When the season first started, nobody predicted that they would be in this position. Indeed, the choice to replace Aaron Rodgers with Jordan Love had many people, including Packers supporters, expecting that the 2023 season would be fraught with difficulties and growing pains.
There were certainly a lot of them. The Packers were 2-5 at one time and appeared to be a team that would draft in the top ten of the 2024 NFL Draft. However, Love and the offense have righted the ship and have recently put together some great games. Love has a 63.1% completion percentage, 3,843 yards, 30 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions in 16 games.
Prior to the season, and especially during Green Bay’s terrible run of games in October, many criticized Love and the decision to draft and keep him. National skeptics such as Skip Bayless and Colin Cowherd slammed the Packers’ selection, claiming that he would never be a good NFL quarterback.
Their aggressive analysis has made them, and many others, appear silly. Cowherd, who formerly described Love as a “game manager” and “nothing special,” has since changed his tune.

The NFL is a “what have you done for me lately” type of business. While terrible teams exist every year, every fan base (and owner) expects their team to win quickly and frequently. Players, in their minds, should enter the NFL as Pro Bowl type players who do not require development.
That, of course, is not the case. Many players take one, two, or even three years to fully develop. This is particularly true with quarterbacks, who may arguably the most scrutinized position in sports.
Because of the pressure to “win now,” many players are forced to start jobs when they are not prepared. In Green Bay, however, the front office has chosen to draft and develop. That method may bore fans and drive them insane, but it has produced the team’s third franchise quarterback in a row.
In one of his most recent segments, Cowherd analyzes this method, how it distinguishes Green Bay, and why Love is so successful:
