Packers | Jordan Love successful on scrambles Tue Feb 27, 01:37 AM
Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love averaged 8.5 yards per scramble this past season.
| Footballguys view: Love didn't scramble that often, only taking off to run 50 times in 2023. However, when he did run he was successful at beating the defenders tasked with stopping him. We'll see if the team asks him to do more running in 2024 or if he's going to utilize his legs at the same rate. |

Packers | Jordan Love in line for extension Sun Jan 14, 12:32 PM
Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love will be a candidate for a contract extension this offseason.
| Footballguys view: Love is under contract for only $10 million next season as the Packers foresight to get his 2024 terms worked out before his 2023 success has been rewarded. If Love continues to build on this foundation, then signing him to a long-term deal this offseason instead of waiting will be rewarded. |

Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love completed 27-of-32 passes for 316 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 18 against the Chicago Bears, while running three times for minus-1 yard with a fumble lost.
| Footballguys view: There were a few bumps in the road, but Love cinched his spot as the team's quarterback of the future with a strong second half of the season. The Packers will open the playoffs at Dallas in a game that they shouldn't be taken likely in. |

Packers | Jordan Love no stranger to the blitz Wed Jan 3, 12:15 PM
Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love has been blitzed a league-high 192 times this season, according to Pro Football Reference. The next closest quarterback is Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff with 180.
| Footballguys view: Teams are trying their best to rattle Love. He's struggled at times this year, but Love has taken his lumps as he gets used to the pro game. If the weapons around him can stay healthy, Love should continue to improve and has a bright future as the starter for the Packers. |

Packers | Jordan Love accounts for three TDs Sun Dec 24, 06:00 PM
Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love went 17-for-28 for 219 yards and two touchdowns against the Carolina Panthers in Week 16. He also rushed for 12 yards and one touchdown on two carries during the game.
| Footballguys view: Love had a huge game against the Panthers defense, which hasn't happened much because they are usually trailing big and not forcing the opponent to throw. What's even more impressive is that Love did this with only one of his top four receivers for most of the game. Love is a strong QB2/Superflex play indoors against the Vikings next week. |

Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love is completing 68.5 percent of his passes and averaging 285.7 yards per game over the last three games, and he has eight touchdowns and zero interceptions during that span.
| Footballguys view: Love has had a roller-coaster season in 2023. At times, he's seemed like the quarterback of the future. Other times, Love has looked like he needs to be replaced in 2024. With what he's doing over the last three games, Love is trending in the right direction. So long as he finishes the season strong, Love will return as the unquestioned starter in 2024. |

| Footballguys view: Love was outstanding, but we should also keep in mind that Detroit is a pass defense that we will want to target going forward. Love will try to get the Packers back in playoff contention against the Chiefs next week and the Lions will go to New Orleans. |

Packers | Jordan Love surpasses 300-yards Sun Nov 19, 06:02 PM
Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love went 27-for-40 for 322 yards and two touchdowns against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 11.
| Footballguys view: Love had arguably the best game of his career, and spread the ball around to his young targets. He'll face a vulnerable Lions defense on Thanksgiving and could be a spot start QB1 if you don't like your other options. He has been having a one step forward two steps back kind of season, but the momentum is forward for now. |

| Footballguys view: Love had one of his best fantasy outings of the year, doing some damage on third and long against the Steelers even though he had his share of problems with the pass rush. He should be in lineups as a QB2/Superflex against the Chargers next week. |

Packers | GB still confident in Jordan Love Tue Oct 24, 08:39 AM
Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love still has the confidence of the team, according to head coach Matt LaFleur. 'It all works in unison and, so, the better everybody is around him, the better he's going to look,' LaFleur said. 'Our confidence in him is not wavering one bit. Certainly, I think, as the play-caller you put a lot of onus on yourself when things aren't going well. We'll continue to do that, but we've got to find a way to generate more points because when you're generating points, it's just a totally different narrative.'
| Footballguys view: There's nothing like the dreaded 'vote of confidence' in the NFL. LaFleur has good concepts, but it seems like Love isn't picking them up. The Packers don't have much of a choice this year other than to start Love and go through his struggles. Rookie Sean Clifford, who is really rough as a passer, is the backup to Love. |

Packers | Jordan Love battered on Thursday night Fri Sep 29, 01:33 AM
Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love completed 23 of 36 passes for 246 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions against the Detroit Lions on Thursday, Sept. 28. He was sacked five times and ran for a nine-yard touchdown.
| Footballguys view: Love was able to muster a good fantasy night because of the big deficit his uneven play helped create in the first half. He had only a partial game from Christian Watson and Aaron Jones, so the team should be ready to fully use their best play makers next and hopefully push Love to higher fantasy heights against the Raiders. |

Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love completed 14-of-25 passes for 151 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 2 against the Atlanta Falcons, while running twice for 23 yards.
| Footballguys view: Love had a very similar performance to his Week 1 game, coming through in big moments even though the offense is clearly missing Christian Watson and Aaron Jones. He is facing a tough Saints defense next week, but should level off as a QB2/Superflex option with good execution in an offense he is clearly comfortable leading. |

Packers | Jordan Love has teammate's praise Wed Aug 16, 09:08 AM
Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love's baseline is way higher than that of a first-year starter, according to OT David Bakhtiari. 'He's had three years to understand the math of the offense, which is very fortunate for any first-round quarterback to get to watch and see how a first-ballot Hall of Famer and generational talent and a guy who borderline changed the quarterback position and how it's played,' Bakhtiari said. 'And even the mechanics of even throwing the football. You're able to see that for three years and then now coming in, so yeah, his baseline for me is way higher.'
| Footballguys view: Love is taking over as the starter this year with Aaron Rodgers going to the Jets. He's athletic and has a big arm, plus the Packers will use a strong ground game to help him out this year. He's a low-end QB2 for Fantasy GMs this year, but the upside is there for him to eventually be more if he can play up to his first-round potential. |

Packers | Green Bay teammates praise Jordan Love Thu Jun 22, 01:46 PM
Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love has seemingly already won over the locker room, based on some recent quotes from his teammates.'Jordan can do it. When you go from Aaron Rodgers to Jordan, Aaron was a really great quarterback, but I believe Jordan can do the same exact thing. I don't really see what's the big difference,' receiver Romeo Doubs said a few weeks ago.'Best QB in the league,' cornerback Jaire Alexander said recently.
| Footballguys view: Let's pump the brakes on the Rodgers comparisons right now. Doubs certainly has been praising Love often this offseason, and camp reports indicate he may be the young quarterback's favorite target. Love has a lot to prove this year in his first season as the starter. We're certain Packers HC Matt LaFleur will set him up for success as best he can...but we're not expecting Rodgers-like play just yet. |

Packers | Jordan Love financials Thu May 4, 11:42 AM
Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love's one-year contract extension is worth up to $24.8 million. It includes $15.3 million in total guarantees and a signing bonus of $8.8 million. His 2023 base salary ($1.01 million) and 2024 base salary ($5.5 million) are fully guaranteed. Love has $9 million in escalators based on performance in 2023 and a $500,000 workout bonus in 2024.
| Footballguys view: The Packers' deal for Love keeps him under contract through the 2024 season. It's a great move for both sides. Green Bay makes a short-term commitment, and Love gets to bet on himself while earning more than the fifth-year option would have gotten him. Now, we'll see if Love can build on some of the flashes he's shown as a starter in the NFL. |

Packers | Jordan Love extended Tue May 2, 10:12 AM
Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love signed a one-year extension Tuesday, May 2, that can be worth up to $22.5 million with $13.5 million guaranteed. The deal replaces a fifth-year option that would be worth around $20 million.
| Footballguys view: It's a wise move for both sides. The Packers are giving him less than a fifth-year option, and Love is betting on himself to hit incentives. Love could be the future, and he's got this season to prove himself worthy. Fantasy GMs should be taking Love as a QB2 with an upside for the upcoming season. |

Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love has the faith of the team's general manager, Brian Gutekunst, who said he believes Love is ready to be a starting quarterback. 'I do,' Gutekunst said on Monday, Dec. 5.
| Footballguys view: Gutekunst "suggested there could be discussion" about Love starting games late in the regular season. Aaron Rodgers is banged up, and the team isn't going anywhere this season. It would make sense for them to rest Rodgers for next season and give Love some valuable experience in the regular season. |

Packers | Jordan Love's 3 INTs not his fault? Sat Aug 13, 02:07 PM
Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love threw three interceptions in the preseason-opening loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Friday, Aug. 12. However, head coach Matt LaFleur pointed out they weren't really his fault. 'Basically two were drops and on the other one we had two receivers run the wrong routes,' LaFleur said after the game.
| Footballguys view: It's a preseason game, so we won't take too much from Love's performance. However, it's not a great look for the former first-round pick. We'll see if he can play better in the rest of the preseason. |

Packers | Jordan Love receives praise Sun Aug 7, 07:56 PM
Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love received praise from head coach Matt LaFleur, who said he's impressed with Love's progress, especially of late. 'Jordan, it's been pretty impressive what he's been able to put together the last few practices,' LaFleur said on Friday, Aug. 5. 'We need him to continue to grow each and every day.'
| Footballguys view: Love is locked into the no.2 job for the Packers behind Aaron Rodgers. Once thought of as a potential quarterback of the future, those thoughts were dashed when Rodgers signed his new four-year, $200 million contract. Now, the Packers might be better off trading away the 2020 first-round pick. The right deal would have to pop up for them, and they don't seem to be actively shopping Love at this time. |

Packers | GB likely to carry two QBs again Sun Jul 3, 06:50 PM
The Green Bay Packers will likely carry two quarterbacks -- QBs Aaron Rodgers and Jordan Love -- on their roster once again in 2022, The Athletic's Matt Schneidman speculates.
| Footballguys view: No surprise here. The Packers do have Rodgers, Love, and Danny Etling on the roster at this time. If Etling impresses during training camp, there's a chance the team keeps him around on the practice squad. Etling was a seventh-round pick of the Patriots back in 2018, and he's bounced around the league ever since. |

Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love could bring back a second-round pick in a trade, according to multiple NFL scouts via Senior Bowl executive director (and former scout) Jim Nagy.
| Footballguys view: The Packers have committed to Rodgers for the next few seasons, and that means Love is on the block. Getting a second-round pick sounds about right, and the Packers should prepare to get offers of a third-round pick or less. We'll see if they move Love or keep him as a developmental prospect behind Rodgers. |

Packers | Important offseason for Jordan Love Mon Jan 24, 05:10 PM
Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love faces an important offseason, according to head coach Matt LaFleur. Love must master the offense and improve his footwork, according to LaFleur. Love has shown improvement, his coach noted.
| Footballguys view: The Packers may be trading Aaron Rodgers away - per his request. That means Love is up next to be their starter. He's looked rough in the limited action he's seen, so improvement needs to be made this offseason. Love is athletic, has a strong arm and good mechanics as a passer. He needs to speed up his processor and get comfortable with what the Packers are asking him to do. At the same time, LaFleur needs to make sure they tweak the offense to fit Love's skill set more if he's the starter in 2022. |

Packers | Week 18 game recap for Green Bay Sun Jan 9, 05:01 PM
Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers went 14-for-18 for 138 yards and two touchdowns against the Detroit Lions in Week 18. QB Jordan Love went 10-for-17 for 134 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions during the game. RB A.J. Dillon rushed for 63 yards on 14 carries, while RB Patrick Taylor rushed for 53 yards and one touchdown on 11 carries. WR Allen Lazard caught five passes for 75 yards and two touchdowns on six targets. TE Josiah Deguara caught three passes for 66 yards and one touchdown on four targets. WR Davante Adams caught six passes for 55 yards on seven targets, while WR Equanimeous St. Brown caught two passes for 22 yards on five targets.
| Footballguys view: Rodgers played a half and looked sharp along with the starters minus Aaron Jones to avoid having two weeks off and gathering rust. Jordan Love was uneven in the second half, although it doesn't look as likely that the team will need to start him next season as it did going into the season. The Packers will get a bye week and face the lowest remaining seed at Lambeau in the divisional round. |
