Cory's Corner: Is Jordan Love That Guy?
The 26th overall pick in 2020 has shown flashes of greatness, but as he enters his fourth year as a starting quarterback, the expectations will only get heavier.
In Green Bay, quarterback questions are never casual conversation. They are civic identity tests. And with the Green Bay Packers, the standard isn’t competence — it’s legacy.
This is a franchise that went from Brett Favre to Aaron Rodgers and now Jordan Love has the distinction of being thrust into that elite conversation. But wait…is he elite?
For a year, the discussion around Love centered on transition. Could he replace Rodgers? Could he steady the franchise? Could he justify the patience?
That phase is over (but if you are the wagering type and like online games, check out casino welcome bonus).
Now the question is sharper: Is Love ascending toward the NFL’s elite tier, or is he settling into the vast middle class of “good, not great” quarterbacks — the Kirk Cousins/Derek Carr territory where you win games but rarely define seasons?
Basically, can the Packers consistently win because of Love? If the running game or the defense is failing, can Love pull a game out of the fire?
“Yes, he’s got unbelievable ability,” said eight-year NFL head coach and NFL analyst Rex Ryan. “But at the end of the day, do I trust Jordan Love? No, I don’t.”
This isn’t about potential anymore. It’s about ceilings. You don’t see too many elite quarterbacks with questionable footwork or making awful decisions in late game situations.
Love’s arc has been encouraging. He processes quickly, throws with anticipation, and when in rhythm, can carve up secondaries with layered throws outside the numbers. His poise during late-season stretches showed command rather than survival. Those are franchise traits.
But elite quarterbacks bend games to their will. They erase bad protection. They survive imperfect play-calling. They tilt defensive game plans every week.
That’s where the evaluation gets complicated.
Early in his career, Love’s mobility was an underrated weapon. He extended plays, threatened edges, and occasionally punished defenses with scrambles. Recently, whether by design or durability concerns, he hasn’t relied on his legs nearly as often to create second-chance plays. Some of that may be maturity — staying in structure, winning from the pocket. Some of it may be preservation.
Love has dealt with nagging injuries — the kind that don’t always sideline a quarterback long-term but chip away at rhythm and availability. Hand issues. Lower-body tweaks. The subtle accumulation that forces mechanical adjustments and tempers aggression. He has largely avoided catastrophic injury, but he hasn’t yet built the ironman résumé that separates dependable from delicate.
Elite quarterbacks combine production with availability. The best ability, as coaches repeat endlessly, is availability.
There’s also the volatility. Love can look like a top-eight quarterback for a month — decisive, accurate, explosive. Then there are stretches where footwork drifts, timing slips, and turnovers creep back into the picture. The middle class of NFL quarterbacks lives in that inconsistency. The elite escape it.
For Green Bay, this matters more than it does elsewhere. The Packers don’t merely roster quarterbacks; they orbit them. The franchise’s modern relevance has been powered by Hall of Fame-level play. The expectation isn’t competence.
So what is Love?
“If you watch yesterday’s Packers game and you don’t clearly think Love is one of the best quarterbacks and throwers of the football in the NFL, you’re a dumb dumb,” said NFL analyst Dan Orlovsky after Love threw for 234 yards with four touchdowns and a passer rating of 124.2 after beating Detroit on Thanksgiving this past season.
If his mobility returns as a situational weapon — not reckless scrambling, but controlled extension — and if he tightens the turnover swings that define his floor, his trajectory still points upward. He has the arm talent. He has the mental wiring. He has shown he can elevate young skill players.
But if the injuries linger, if the legs remain a lesser part of his arsenal, and if the week-to-week variance persists, he may settle into that frustrating middle ground: good enough to win, not quite transcendent enough to carry.
And in Green Bay, that distinction is everything.

NO QB is "that guy" without the rest of the offense helping him to BE that guy.
EVERY QB needs an offensive line that keeps him clean.
Every QB needs receivers who run the right routes.
Every QB needs receivers that catch the contested throws.
Not having Kraft, Watson, and Reed at the same time in any game last year MATTERED.
Not having Tom and Jenkins MATTERED.
Football is the ultimate team sport; nobody gets to be "the guy" without the team's help.

Thank you PackEyedOptimist, you said it all perfectly!
I hadn't even thought of it but you're right on the money. At no point did Love have Kraft, Reed, and Watson on the field at the same time last season. Those three PLUS Golden will be fun to watch next season. After 2026 your guess is as good as mine who will be here in 2027.
But Love will only be as good as his receivers and O-Line. IMO there's no doubt Love has the talent to win a SB, I honestly believe that. But Love is going to need the O-Line to be MUCH, MUCH, better than last season.

Based upon the criteria listed in the article to be considered elite, Love has some work remaining before he ascends to that level.
Now whether or not the Packers assemble the talent on the OL to make that possible is an element out of Jordan Love's control.
No QB becomes elite without a functioning OL in front of him.
Coldworld
February 21, 2026 at 07:15 am
I think Love is held back by the offense LaFleur has settled on. One of the things Willis showed us is the ideal LaFleur QB type. Love on the other hand needs a more expansive passing scheme to fully utilize what he brings to the table. Just another example of the contradictions within this organization as reflected on field.
golfpacker61
February 21, 2026 at 07:16 am
How many games has Love missed the last 2 years with injuries. It really shows the value of having a solid O-line and a functional backup QB that gives you a chance to win. The O-line was a weak point last year and needs shoring up. Willis was a special treat in GB the last 2 years. Hopefully Ridder ascends to being a competent backup.
Options for #3, Trey Lance is vet minimum and a FA. Will Levis is cheap but requires a pick to pry him loose. If we are going to trade a pick for a player, I would just as soon use that option on someone who will play and fill a hole like D'Vondre Sweat.
TE is a big need for the Titans, Chig Okonkwo, their #1 guy who has played every game for 4 years will be a coveted FA TE this year. He has averaged over 70 receptions the last 3 years. I would offer Musgrave for him on a 1 for 1 swap for Sweat, who doesn't fit Robert Saleh's D-scheme. This is almost a match/trade made in heaven.
jannesbjornson
February 21, 2026 at 09:15 am
I've always been a fan of T Sweat. He is supposedly working on his conditioning to slim down to 345-350.
I don't think Saleh will move on from this guy, he's too athletic. Musgrave and a pick probably gets the deal completed. Levis has more potential than Lance, but he had shoulder surgery. Ridder fits LaFleur's pocket guy with Air Raid background. I would draft a QB in Rd Four if a guy with escapability is available.
HawkPacker

We have OL, DL and CB needs for rounds 2 - 4. Wait until round 6 or 7 and select the guy from Iowa-Gronowski. He can pass and through and is a winner.

If talent is in front of you, grasp it. Free agency fills the Need issues. This brain trust has passed over too many football players for the perceived need and lose out in the end. I do like your Iowa center.

I’m thinking we grab M. Fitzpatrick from the dolphins. He’s good and fits a need. We had a previous chance at him and didn’t pursue him.
I also want Calias (as you have previously suggested). I think there is a real possibility of signing Campbell.

The stats people love Love, he piles up a great looking stat sheet. People who actually watch the games, like me, aren’t so sure. I would rank him firmly in the middle tier. With two minutes left and needing a TD, I watch Mahomes and Allen and think, “What are they going to do to win this game?” When I watch Love I think. “ How is he going to eff this up?”
NitschkeFromTheGrave
February 21, 2026 at 09:50 pm
You hit the nail on the head " Middle of the tier" I've been saying it for 4 years. In a word, MEDIOCRE. To make your point stronger, the NFL just ranked the starting QBs Jordo came in 14th yep.....MID-TIER.

People like you who watch love and aren’t so sure don’t know what good QB play looks like.. as in, no effin clue.
These are the same people who thought Clifford should be a starter.. or any of the other literal training camp QB’s over the years they’ve professed should be the starting QB.
Sorry, I’m not having it. Love is an excellent QB. On the field, you can see it.

Love is very good, but he is not elite, yet. I still believe that he can reach elite status if he gets an elite OL in front of him. Love does not tilt the field in the Packers favor as Rodgers did for most of his time in Green Bay. Love definitely needs to get back to using his legs to extend plays and run for positive yardage again. Also MLF should have more plays to move the pocket and allow Love to throw on the run.
As for Love's mechanics it is crucial that the QB coach works with him and gets it corrected.
Bottom line is that 2026 is a crucial year for Love IMO. He needs to demonstrate that he still has upside and that he is continuing to evolve into an elite NFL QB.
If he doesn't improve in 2026 we may be staring at the probability that Love is not the "Guy". Thanks, Since '61
jannesbjornson
February 21, 2026 at 09:23 am
If they move Morgan to LT where he belongs, you have a guy capable of getting out to the edge fast to get the flow in front of Love. Zach Tom provides the same mobility on the right flank. The key to moving the pocket is a fast center. Gutedkunst went with boat anchor guards, limiting wide zone options. Does Rhyan stay onboard to set the middle. They stunt around him. Again, there doesn't seem to be any rhyme, or reason in the master plan.
Since'61
February 21, 2026 at 10:46 am
I agree with you on the OL. I also agree that there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to the master plan if there is one at all?
Sometimes I think that gute is building a different team than MLF wants to coach. MLF wants to have a run first team to set up his passing game however Gute has built an OL that does not run blocks very well.
As for MLF there are too many games where I don't see MLF's offensive game plan coming together. In the Holmgren days I could see the Packers running plays early to set up plays that would run later in the game. The same was true for McCarthy until his final 2 seasons where he seemed to be going through the motions. But with MLF the Packers offense seems to run the strangest plays at the wrong points in the game.
I think what we are seeing is the flaw in the organizational structure established by Murphy. The GM should be in charge of all football operations and he should be allowed to his HC. this would enable alignment between the GMs vision for the team and the appropriate HC to implement the vision. Right now everyone is in charge therefore no one is in. charge of all football operations. Thanks, Since '61

Nailed it, Since ‘61. There’s no one way to do it, but whichever way one chooses, it better be clearly understood and rigorously pursued. The smallest differences in objective and emphasis can derail the best intent. That’s why it needs to be one person’s vision not two (or four) people’s approximate interpretations within their sphere of influence.

2026??? 7 years? Even the NFL backed my claim in a recent article stating THEIR rankings of 34 starting QBs for this past season. get ready to clench..... Love ranked 14th. 14 of 34 ! After 6 full seasons.
Year 7? How about 8? 10? 12? Bullshit ! He is what he is, mediocre. I wish I was wrong, but I'm not, not after 6 full seasons and each of the last 3 seasons have been progressively worse. I understand realizing denial can be a hard pill to swallow but it's time to wake up, a 7th season will change NOTHING.

February 21, 2026 at 08:55 am
I don't ever see Love as being "career elite", but I do think he's capable of sprinkling in a couple elite season's throughout his career. I just don't believe MLF will ever trust him enough to let him spread those wings to find out. MLF has a history of allowing guys to just vanish often throughout a season, forgetting to use them and their talents in ways that best showcase those talents. Love, I think, is no exception to this MLF disposition.
Since'75
February 21, 2026 at 03:10 pm
I think MLF wants Love to be a great game manager.
Run first and defense, and don't turn the ball over.
Although maybe not 'elite'
Love's better than being a game manager.
You're wasting him at that point.
Just my .02
Coldworld
February 22, 2026 at 09:09 am
Love’s best stretch of games was when LaFleur loosened the reins and let Love loose most, at the back end of his first season as a starter. Since then, we’ve gone back to a scheme-first approach and those heights have not been reached since. Something to ponder.
Tundraboy

February 21, 2026 at 08:57 am
Good thorough article Cory ... again is Love elite ? Or more importantly can Love lead the team to a Superbowl and to me the answer is yes. If you look at the two QB who completed in the SB this year Darnold/D Mayes I would take Love over both. Having said that Love has compromised the trust level with some horrible decisions at critical moments that are embedded in Packer loyalists. As far as mobility Love can break out and run its about the when and were he struggles with ( he's no M Willis ). Love has the arm strength no doubt and can drill the ball through tight windows but then again the footwork so quick to abandon even after 6 years. I agree with fellow poster the passing scheme seems limited when you watch the elite QB operate with many more options. Love is good enough for sure but he needs a heathy team and much much improved defense to not become elite but to become a champion...
jannesbjornson
February 21, 2026 at 09:32 am
If he doesn't drill on his footwork this off-season to become proficient in his kata, he may end up getting rolled in the pocket. He should have learned some movement skills from Rodgers to buy time and protect
himself from marauders. He is a guy who should be putting up 35 TDs a season. LaFleur doesn't do him any favors, stifling the first two downs with predictable run calls, leaving him with third and long.
Oppy
February 22, 2026 at 10:53 am
Love does a FANTASTIC job avoiding sacks. Look at his hits and hurries in comparison to his sacks, and look at the number of dropbacks.
The last two years, the OL has been atrocious.
NFLfan
February 21, 2026 at 09:03 am
Rodgers had a terrific O-line and a Pro-Bowl LT, Bakhtiari.
He also had receivers who knew they had to run crisp routes in order to get the ball.
There has been a decline in both O-line and receivers since the prime Rodgers era. None of the current receivers are anywhere near the level of Nelson, Driver, Jones, Adams, Jennings. And, the O-line is an even greater problem. And, the guy who built it was recently rewarded-SMH
Love also doesn't have the discipline (footwork, throwing mechanics) Rodgers put into his offseason every year. AR perfected his hitch, eye game, footwork, throwing 'torque', etc. So, Love is at a distinct disadvantage in comparison-some of it is related to a lesser supporting cast and some is of his own making.
TarynsEyes
February 21, 2026 at 10:28 am
Love is what he is and will continue to be going forward. An above-average QB, who depending on the opponent, will appear better than he is, though not often enough to plant himself as a true top 10 QB, let alone a top 5 as many here demand often to be accepted as truth.
Love is a QB whose value is determined by the good stat sheets he awards fans every so often. Love is a prime example of an 'average' stat lover, which we have here, and 'averaging' is what makes Love closer to an average QB than an Elite QB.
The three years he sat doesn't seem to have benefitted GB to the level of expectations or hope of the many who reside in that land of thinking, and his overall success, depending on individual views, isn't of the level that should raise belief in his rising and maintaining a consistent level of success that is much above the 'participation' level of a QB whose main achievement to date, and perhaps career-wise, is based on his ability to create a solid 'stat average.'
The failure of this team in the playoffs isn't all on Love, but he sure hasn't shown the ability to take over a game when it's incumbent on him, as the assumed 'elite' QB that is often placed upon his present reign.
Until playoff wins start to get collected while climbing the ladder to an SB, Love will forever be a regular-season QB like many others with only the unfulfilled hype as his legacy in GB.
A commenter above said he'd take Love over Maye and Darnold. This person ignores that both of these guys played in games where each had to overcome an aspect of the three phases that failed, and for that reason alone, I would be taking either over Love.
CheeseEdWest2
February 22, 2026 at 12:42 pm
Well put. For me a significant sign was the time Tom Clements spent with him, coming out of retirement to do so for a year if I remember right. The "tell" was that Love seemed no better afterwards. To me this says that Love doesn't take coaching seriously. He has a number of bad habits that limit his improvement, and periodically they bite him in the a**. He plays hero ball, but without the refinement of Rodgers, and that leads to fumbles, interceptions, etc., because he doesn't have a plan ingrained in him as to what he will do when things go wrong. He lacks innate escape ability, his Plan B is to sling it. You have to train yourself how to handle adversity so you are ready for it. That's the next level; can someone bring that out in him?
lou
February 21, 2026 at 10:38 am
Lots of things to discuss to determine where Love stands in the NFL QB rankings but the only real question is can the Packers win a Super Bowl with him if he is surrounded with competent offensive players and the answer is YES THEY CAN.

Is Purdy elite? Maye? How about Darnold? Hurts? Goff? Garoppolo?...hell, Nick Foles is out of football. All these guys played in SBs in the last 10 years and a few even won.
I don't think you need an elite QB to win the SB, but as your passer moves down the food chain his supporting cast needs to get better and better, and they have to be peaking at the right time--can your QB string enough games at a high level together to give you a chance to win it all?
I think Love is good enough to win with. What about the rest of these guys?

Bottom line, until we put a solid O-Line in front of JL ----- with 5 maulers and 2-3 solid backups ----- we'll never be able to answer the opening Q.

Cory says interceptions are a problem for Love, but in 2025 he had the 9th lowest interception percentage in the league at 1.4, and if you remove four QBs who played 10 games or fewer (none of whom are very good), he was 5th lowest--just a tick behind MVP Matthew Stafford and ahead of MVP runner-up Drake Maye.

I think there’s a problem beyond the poor offensive line play. Have you noticed the piss poor play calling from MLF when we have a lead? Off tackle runs to wear the clock down. The only thing that gets worn down is the defense because the offense is going 3 and out constantly. MLF also refers to adjust as the game goes on. Who didn’t know Chicago was going to blitz in the second half on every play because no adjustment was made by MLF. The team needs to not only look at better plays but also better utilization of those players. On the other hand I’m in Minnesota where I get to see the misery of no quarterback at all.

Is Love above average, absolutely.
Can you win a Super Bowl with Love...absolutely, but it takes a team, mostly playing well in 3 segments.
You don't need an elite QB to win the SB.
See Trent Dilfer and Sam Darnold.
Hell...even Manning with the Bronco's.
Big Ben won his 1st SB throwing for something like 126 yards, 0 TD's and 2 picks.

Rewatching the Bears wild card game the Packers have a 3rd and 2 . Love stands in the pocket moves around a little in a pocket that is collapsing around him . He holds the ball and ends up throwing it away when there certainly was a path to get 2 yards with his feet . Packers punt trying to protect a marginal lead . That is the frustrating part of Loves game . Just pick up the first down Jordan . Run for it and take what they give you . A little urgency to make a play . That what keeps him from being elite .

I think Jordan Love is the guy to play quarterback for the Packers, with a reasonable possibility of winning the Super Bowl.
As I understand the Super Bowls played by Patrick Mahomes, he was great in the three games the Chiefs won, and terrible in the two games they didn't.
The lesson seems to be that it's a team game.
Love seems to have the passing talent and the intelligence and the poise to take the Packers to the top.
Will he continue with a determination to excel in leading the Packers? Will he have enough help around him on the field? Will the coaches put him in the best position to succeed with the team?
That's the drama. Although we don't know, there seems to me enough reason to hope for another title in Green Bay to make things interesting and even exciting for at least 2026 and 2027.
I'm missing pro and college football this weekend; but then again, if it was all year round, it would probably get tiresome.

He’s a top 10 QB for me. Let’s say he’s 10th for argument’s sake: If you can’t get to a Super Bowl with that level of play over multiple seasons then your coach and GM aren’t worth their salt. Love is not the problem, he’s an excuse or smoke screen.

February 22, 2026 at 08:33 am
-Love (nor any QB) cannot make up for a weak O-line, a play-caller who consistently cannot think on his feet in 2nd halves, a cast of WR #2-3's, no CB's, and a weak interior D-line. Love's best years are being wasted by the failures of Gute and MLF (and Policy/Murphy). If Love had a play-caller like Reid, McVay, O'Connell, authentic WR #1 and 2, a strong O-line and a good Defense, he would easily compete for a SB-his supporting cast is deficient.
Rodgers had a much better o-line, elite LT protection/receivers. Let's compare Bahktiari to R. Walker, esp last season.

February 23, 2026 at 08:06 am
I thought last year was supposed to be his "big step" year, so I take it he filed for an extension somehow? Now it's not potential anymore it's ceilings...what's next? He did replace Rodgers. Rodgers is gone, but to think he would be as good as Rodgers or Favre is foolish. Now here we go with this "Elite" title. The same kind of talk happened constantly with Eli Manning, and the only way he was going to be elite was by adding the "te" to end of his first name. Yet he played on two Super Bowl winning teams. Sam Darold sure as hell isn't an "elite" QB, but he isn't paid like one either. But, he's good enough and has a damn good team around him, and he just got a trophy if I'm not mistaken.
Love is better than average. He isn't "elite" in that he doesn't seem to be the type of QB that can carry a team, even though he is paid like one. If he would use his legs more often he could improve his status, but he doesn't seem to have a clue as when to do that, or just doesn't want to. Whatever the reason, it's a huge detriment to his game. It holds him back IMO.
Average, better than average, good, great, elite, invincible, call him what you will. The only thing for sure is he's the guy and he isn't going anywhere, so you better get used to it.

Maybe, just maybe, they shouldn't have given JL that monster contract, and instead used some of that money on the OL and the receivers. Gotten som sure things and veteran stability in free agency. Easier to play up to your potential with the best supporting cast around you, instead of having to be "the guy" right out the gate.
