Green Bay Packers’ Bold Prediction – Jordan Love Leads Green Bay To A Winning Record
Fans of the Packers are surely hoping history repeats itself when it comes to their line of succession at quarterback. Green Bay dealt Brett Favre to the New York Jets in 2008 to clear the starting job for one Aaron Rodgers, who played at a Hall-of-Fame level for 15 years before getting dealt to . . . the Jets.
2020 first-round pick Jordan Love is now the man at the helm of the Packers and has had three years to learn under Rodgers, much like how Rodgers spent three years behind Favre. While it is a bit premature to declare that Love will turn into another future Hall-of-Famer, Green Bay did a good job of building a solid infrastructure around its young quarterback.
The Rodgers trade added some premium picks to Green Bay’s war chest and they used their assets to both bolster their defense and give Love some more weapons, which was a common complaint from Rodgers towards the end of his tenure as the Packers ignored that request. Love will have a talented collection of pass catchers with rookies Jayden Reed and Luke Musgrave joining Romeo Doubs and Christian Watson.
There will be growing pains for sure but the Packers figure to be clicking by the end of the season. When you factor in the weaker NFC, and in particular a step back from Minnesota in the NFC North, don’t be surprised if Green Bay ends up at 9-8 and fighting for the last Wild Card spot in the conference once again.
