Cowboys first-round exit raises questions about Dak, Jordan Love is the real deal | NFL | THE HERD 

Listen to Alexi Lalas’ State of the Union soccer podcast: sprtspod.fox/Lalas

as a packers fan, all off season we were told jordan love didnt have it, now everybody is changing their opinion and it is hilarious to see in real time .

Matt Lafleur deserves a lot of credit for the development of Jordan Love, but one person who tends to get left out in these conversations and who also deserves a lot of credit in Jordan Love's development is Tom Clements Green Bay's QB coach.... thank you so much for coming back to help with Love's development.

The Cowboys looked completely unprepared and nervous, whereas the Packers were supremely confident and smelled blood.

Dak looked worried the entire game I’ve never seen anything like it.

Of the many things to be impressed with, watching Love read defense and adjust pre-snap is outstanding. He sees what’s going on

Jordan Love and CJ Stroud are the new phenoms to watch at QB!

As a Niners fan, Jordan Love’s story is truly a remarkable one! Look up the story about his father and it’ll make you root for him even more. 💔 😢 Bakersfield, Ca, once again, please stand up! ❤ ❤️

There’s a share of blame to go around. Dak, Quinn, and McCarthy. One thing I’ll defend McCarthy on is he can’t make Dak not choke.

Colin Cowherd in October 2023: I've seen enough to know that Jordan Love is not the guy. He's a backup QB in this league. Colin Cowherd on January 15, 2024: Jordan Love is the real deal!

The way Jordan was throwing the ball honestly made him look like Aaron Rodgers!! Not even exaggerating if you slapped a number 12 on him you couldn’t tell the difference yesterday!!

Starr-Favre-Rodgers - Love 60 years of Qb's Pure genius in drafting and development. It's the Vince Lombardi in Lambaeu field. Even as an Eagles fan you gotta respect that legacy

The past couple of years, the media pretty much said the Packers were stupid for not spending a bunch of money and high draft picks on receivers to make Aaron Rodgers happy. This year, the Packers are 'geniuses' for not spending a bunch of money and high draft picks on receivers.

I remember 8 weeks ago Colin saying he’d seen enough to know Jordan love isn’t it and time to move on….. 🙄🙄🙄

The Cowboys are just the Clippers of the NFL in this century! On God! 😂

You said that Jordan Love Love in week 6 wasn’t more than a back now looks like a superstar in the making

Let this be your reminder that Matthew Stafford and Dak were both voted to the pro bowl over Love

As a Packer fan, thank you Colin.

Jordan Love needs a couple more consistent seasons to know if he is another Favre or Rodgers.

Remember the MANY times cowherd said about JLove "I´ve seen enough, he´s Not good". And accepted colin, you defended McCarthy just because you hate Rodgers. "colin right colin wrong, plenty of both".......NOT really!!!

It’s weird how the one franchise that seemingly can’t miss at QB (GB) and the one that can’t get it right (Chicago) are in the same division. As a Bears fan, I wish I could say anything other than I’m not surprised. Love is going to dominate the division for years to come, and if we don’t make the move this year to find a QB who will keep up, it’s another 10+ years of 2 guaranteed losses on our schedule. Kudos to Love and everyone else in that team who have been so resilient and patient with their team building. I hope Caleb Williams can live up to his potential if we take him, Love vs. Williams twice a year could be a fireworks show.

I agree I think Mike McCarthy has to go. But the Dallas Cowboys have one big problem that is not the coach or the QB. It is Jerry Jones, the GM. And that is the curse, the Jerry Jones as GM is the curse. Jerry Jones needs to get a new GM other than the last name Jones, and then hire a quality head coach who will inspire, get more than what the talent says, and use a above-average QB. They have talent on paper, but it has not jived for 28 years.

A Packers vs Ravens Superbowl would be very entertaining

Always had faith in Love and those wonderful flashes he had shown. GO PACK GO!

Wasn’t Colin killing Jordan Love mid-season and that they need to move on? People are allowed to change their opinions, but I never heard a guy contradict himself so many times over the years. This show has excellent guests which is the only reason it is still on the air as Colin’s takes are useless.

2 months ago colin said love wasn't even a starting quarterback in the nfl. That didn't age well

Love listening to this guy!

“Jordan love feels like a long second date and the first one didn’t go that well” just remember Colin is a hater at heart 😂

Can you imagine the conversation if GB beats SF, thus week? Craaaazy!

Thank you! Finally some LOVE for the Packers from a sportscaster!

Excellent 3 qbs in a row. I've thought Brees to Rivers to Herbert was good for my squad. This is on another level

Colin spent so much time criticizing the Packers for not having an owner... It's clear now they're one of the best run teams in the league for decades.

Dak is not that guy, he has never been and will never be. Hes good with the media and has scrapped by beating bad teams to pad his stats. Anytime he goes up against a good team he shows who he really is

always enjoy watching my team get the praise they deserve

Lions fan here. Just a couple points. First off, it's refreshing to hear someone from the Dallas area admit the Lions might've been robbed down there a few weeks ago. Second, I agree with you on Jordan Love's improvement. He DOMINATED the Lions on Thanksgiving Day. Personally, I think the NFC North is on the verge of bringing back the old ''Black and Blue'' mentality. The Lions and Packers are both quality teams. The Bears finished strong and are nobody's cupcake. And, as long as Justin Jefferson is alive and breathing, pity the team which takes the Vikings lightly.

What stood out to me wasn’t Loves maturation; it was the offensive line protection! He looked like he was throwing a football at a carnival.

We're never going to win with Dak and MM. It's always the same beat bad teams and defenses and lose to good teams especially in playoffs. Jordan Love outplayed Dak and Dak looked rattled. Dak had those MVP numbers because of the weak schedule we played

Remember when everyone was putting him ahead of Brock for MVP😂

Colin you look crazy for sitting on your petuIant high chair at Fox studios and calling Jordan Love a bust. Just after five games into his career, man? That’s ridiculous. I think of the type of pressure that Jordan Love was under from his shoes. He was drafted into this drama mess franchise with Aaron Rodgers battling the front office, fans hated that he was the draft pick, media said he was gonna fail, then had sit for three years, I’m sure if he had a choice he would’ve been drafted literally anywhere else. Aaron Rodgers signs a gigantic, which basically declares that the team doesn’t believe in you, in Love’s own words he say that was one of the lowest moments. The drama finally burns out, rodgers leaves and you get your opportunity, but you’re following two of the top 10-12 greatest quarterbacks of all time, expectations are enormous. You’re not exactly following Alex Smith, who couldn’t do jack squat in the playoffs, or Davis Mills. You got people calling for your job, build chemistry with teammates, study the defense, get back to playing football again after sitting for years, the media saying that your boss after just a few games. The fans didn’t like that you were even drafted. That’s a lot. You called him a bust after five games because he wasn’t looking like CJ Stroud. You gotta understand that some guys are projects, and other guys are prospects. CJ Stroud has been pro ready for years, last time, Jordan love played any meaningful football was at Utah state, and if you haven’t noticed, they’re not exactly competing with Georgia, Alabama, and Ohio State for the national championship. I get it wasn’t looking good and new information causes new opinions, but there is a such thing as making opinions WITHOUT enough information, which is what the naysayers did. 5 games into his career? Like Jesus, let him have a chance to play and learn from mistakes. From personal experience, when you’re a back up player for years, and you finally get your opportunity, it’s almost impossible to be playing your best football right away, even if you’re in the same system all those years. I can’t imagine how hard it must be at the highest level of football, outside of the pressure. But this is where you have to listen to hot take artists who never played the sport, past his freshman year in high school with a grain of salt.

Love has been incredible. Talking MVP if he played the beginning of the season like second half. Still, you can't say he throws better than Rodgers. Before Mahomes, I would say Rodger was the most talented thrower of the football we have ever seen.

Hold on hold on, DAK is making 60M next year!?!? Man the inflation is nuts!!

I know Jordan was atrocious in the beginning of the season. But the switch up that everyone is doing on him is hilarious 😂 always believed in the love story

They need discipline and true focus. I don’t think Belichick would want to deal with Jerry. I would go with Harbaugh or Sean Payton, maybe even Pete Carroll as 3rd option. Jerry placing himself in the draft room is part of the problem. The interior of the d-line got blown up again, zero LBs and outcoached. They need dog fight in them. Ferguson was playing hard, they need more of that

"I got fooled and I usually don't" lmao

Jordan is playing like a Top 5-7 QB… Next year he will be in different conversations.

Yeah I might have been totally wrong on Jordan Love. But I’m still not gonna crown him as legit just yet. Lefleur is a brilliant play caller. I’ve never seen receivers consistently that wide open in a high school game, let alone an NFL game. He also has a great offensive line. He did zip some balls into tight spots. But the offense also had more production because they fed Aaron Jones in the red zone instead of padding Jordan Love’s stats.

Remember when this guy said Mike McCarthy won the divorce LMFAOO

Nicely done Jordan Love

Yesterday, the way Jordan Love played, he wasn't just better than Arod..he was better than every QB in the league. Literally. If he can play like that, he can be the best QB in the league consistently. He was truly outstanding yesterday.

2:15 exactly. That DET game should've been a serious warning sign for cowboys

how does colin turn jordan love’s shining moment into dissing aaron

Tom Clements is the secret sauce for the packers. So glad he came back.

That's just Jordan Love doing Jordan Love things.

I remembered Jordan Love beating us in an overtime win. I was expecting GB to play the way they did. Bigger linemen, Aaron Jones, speedy receivers, Jordan Love, and Lafleur. I was not confident in Dallas heading into that game.

If Jerry would shut up and stop telling the world how wonderful the team and Dak were, perhaps the coach and team would quit believing the hype and actually work harder rather than thinking GB & Love are pushovers.

Ohhhh so now Jordan Love is the real deal 🤔

You land on planet earth and watch the game 😂😂 THATS THE BEST ANALOGY!

Love has one playoff win, Aaron has 3 MVP's and a Super Bowl MVP, and was basically the entire Green Bay team for over a decade. I know everyone is excited, but people really need to calm down. Hopefully the young man has a great career.

DAK PRESCOTT, MIKE MCCARTHY, AND DAN QUIN MUST GO IMMEDIATELY 🤬

I think my Packers could be the #1 seed next year. With how young this team is and the chemistry they have and the fact Jordan Love is only getting paid $11M. I think next year, Lalfuer needs a new defensive coordinator regardless. One playoff game doesn't guarantee that the defense plays like that vs. the 49ers and given where Green Bay ranks in defensive statistical categories with how much they invest on defense, its pretty pathetic regardless of what happened yesterday. Rich Bassagia hasn't done much at all with these special teams.

Never thought laflor was a good coach since he had Rogers who is who he is but man lafor has had to really coach this young team really impressed with him Jordan love never been solid on him he played his best game of the year vs the cowboys colored me impressed Dak is who is 8 years in

Bizarre Dak “Yeahhhh Here We Goooo” was so easy to anticipate by the Green Bay D. They were licking their chops at almost every Cowboy down.

Could it be that Jordan had it all along but needed opportunity and time to put it all together? Everyone was critical of him and compare him to Rodgers and everyone else instead of looking at him for him. But it is wonderful to see all of the head-option turners.... wonderful! GPG

Heard it in a Love song. Cant be wrong.

I respect your honesty.

It raises one thing for sure. All of the above.

Back to back 12 wins seasons, how you fire him though.

Glad to see you give jordan love his flowers. The guy had some bad games but he started the season 2-1 and threw 7 TDs to only 1 interception. It was obvious from the beginning he definitely had rhe talent while I remember you saying he wasn't good at anything. I knew eventually you would eat those words. Glad to see Love grabbing everyone's attention and proving all the doubters wrong.💪💪

Dak should be done also. You can't lose your job if your QB throws two INT's early in the game and one was a pick six.

Did he just say Love throws better then Rodgers? Talk about prisoner of the moment overreaction. Jeez Colin

Reminds me of the 2010 Falcons vs Packers playoff game, sadly.

Having pressure is a huge disadvantage when it comes to teams that do well in the regular season. As a packer fan, I have seen so many years of great regular season teams, that just fall apart in the playoffs. The only real exceptions of this are leaders that relish under pressure in the last two decades is Brady and Mahomes. Clicking at the end of the year is more important (I think) then having a great regular season and having a high seed. All the pressure is on those home teams.

The reason why I like Oklahoma's quarterback it reminds me of my angel Gabriel

Like some of us have been saying in Ronbo's chat over the past weeks, the *Rams, Cowboys, Eagles, Browns, and Dolphins* will all choke during the playoffs like they often do. Spoiler alert, the *Ravens* will also choke as well. Good strategy for Shanahan to rest some of their starters like Purdy and CMC during the Rams game so they will be fresh to take on the Packers in the Divisional round. This is not about winning the most regular season games but about dominating the playoffs and winning Super Bowl LVIII. Go Niners!!!

You can hear on the replays, Dak Prescott's voice sounding like Eeyore saying, " Ooohhh. Nooooo" after many of the interceptions he through in the last 3 weeks😂!!!

Talking out of both sides of his mouth. Colin bashed Jordan Love for years.

Romeo Doubs stays getting disrespected. He’s Packers best receiver

NOBODY'S worried about Dak😂

What about Brady’s growth in his first year from the time he took over for Drew? He went on a great run that season.

Anyone that knows ball knew that Dak was the 5th or 6th best QB in the NFC playoffs this year Stafford is the best Love looks 2nd best Purdy and Goff are better Jalen is better Basically Dak is better than Baker, that’s about it. He’s never been good against good teams especially in the playoffs, it’s crazy to me that people fall for the same trap every year.

Give props to Tom Clements

The Cowboys were not nervous, it was terrible coaching, this is why the Packers got rid of McCarthy. The Packers are young and hungry and have nothing to lose. They are the most dangerous team remaining in the playoffs!

Who player development was my favorite thing about NCAA games Back before 2010. To take a mediocre wide receiver and make him the focal point and turn him into a star was one of my favorite things to do Or I would draft a 60 overall who just happened to be 95 on his speed and make him a solid slot

Going from Favre to Rodgers to Love is great, But why don't we talk about Going from Holmgren to Sherman to McCarthy to Lafleur. 4 coaches during those 3 QBS. Thats what a good QB does, keeps the coaching the same so you can build a team.

I am an Aussie, I have said this else where today and it is brutal. The Cowboys need to change their Logo, 1 Star is a rating and that is all I see. Go 'The Pack.'

Remember Troy aikman started off bad and then it clicked that’s what we are seeing with Jordan love what needs to be talked about is this might be one of those legendary situations where a player goes from bad to generational

Mike is NOT the problem in Dallas,.........Jerry and Dak are the problem. Mike has won playoff games and a Superbowl. McCarthy made a massive mistake taking the Dallas job.

yall giving jordan love all this credit. matt lafleur brought 2 mvps out of an old conservative rodgers , traded him and got this guy to be top 3 i think in touchdown passes. the man is an offensive connoisseur.

The score was 48-16. We were putting in our backups by then.

The cruel irony of the Jerry Jones' Dallas Cowboys is that they will probably not win another SB no matter who's coaching or playing -- but because their #1 problem is _being owned_ by Jerry Jones. The guy bought the team in '89 and made a great hire in Jimmy Johnson...but he interpreted the success that brought about as being due to HIS football aptitude. So now he can't help himself and his micromanaging has led to over a quarter century of playoff futility.

Colin is such a Monday morning quarterback

GB was a bad matchup for Dallas. Matchups and the hot team going into the playoffs matter more than regular season records. Dan Quinn outsmarted themselves by trying to play zone against GB because GB is so good against man coverage; however, Dallas did not play much zone this season and it was obvious on the field.

Fun fact: the Green Bay Packers have more playoff wins at AT&T Stadium than the Cowboys.

See as a Cowboys fan I knew this was going to happen and I bet the money line and won $400

Dak is Andy Dalton. plain and simple

My main beef was vacating the ball.

Sometimes there are things about a leader you can't write in a stat column

What a game! Awesome QB Jordan Love! Aaron Jones👏 Sprinkle in more eagle eye precision throws and a few Hail Marys per game then we may have QB better than Aaron Rodgers😍. GO PACK GO!!!!!!💚💛💚💛

Jordan Love made football fun again for Packers fans. Things got complicated with that complicated fellow late during his tenure. Great player, but he’s more suited for daytime talk shows now it seems.

Raises questions with everybody but Jerry.
