Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers are set to begin their preseason schedule tonight against the Cincinnati Bengals. It will be the first step in a new era of football for the proud franchise. Gone are the days of Aaron Rodgers making the Packers a Super Bowl contender each and every year and back is the chip on the shoulder for the team to prove that they are still relevant.

Despite Love only having one career start under his belt, the media has been out to get him. Some analysts have ripped into the young quarterback and already labeled him a bust. Others have seen the potential that Love does possess and anointed him in new Rodgers.

Neither of those sides is the truth. Love is Love, plain and simple.

Ahead of Love’s first season as the full-time starter in Green Bay, one NFL scout revealed a major bold prediction. He believes that Love will have a more efficient season than Rodgers will have with the New York Jets.

“Look, the pressure is no doubt on Jordan Love, but the team has done an amazing job of shielding him from it. I’m going out on a limb here. Love will have a more efficient 2023 season than Aaron Rodgers.”

So far since being drafted in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft, Love has only played in 10 games. Most of those appearances have been in very short playing time.

Love has completed 60.2 percent of his pass attempts for 606 yards, three touchdowns, and three interceptions. Those numbers don’t show a lot. However, he did have some flashes last season, especially when replacing Rodgers against the Philadelphia Eagles.

It will be interesting to see how the start of Love’s career as a starter goes. The Packers certainly believe in his ability and his teammates have his back. Now, it’s on the young signal caller to actually perform on the field.

Expect to see Jordan Love come out confident. No one should judge him based off of his first few games, good or bad, but a full season will give us a good idea of what he is capable of becoming for the Packers.
