Scouts didn't like Jordan Love. But Green Bay was right. Thank you for watching The Halftime Show! If you like this video, it would help us greatly if you smash the like and subscribe button!
The Packers are the only team using this strategy. Well actually the Lions are doing it with H.Hooker but you'd figure there would be more teams trying it. Hell if I'm the Bears why not start Fields this final year of his contract and let Caleb watch and slowly learn and start the following year. Fields is still cheap.
Nah, his reaction was fair. Love is great, but we had so many needs and guttie didn't draft those needs. If you recall we had an MVP QB the but still couldn't get a Super Bowl.
@@DyslexicLemonz correct, so many that the draft couldn’t patch them all. The pick of Love has now set us up to be in contention for the next 10 years. Rodgers just couldn’t get it done. I would argue it was more so due to TT having dementia while he was the guy deciding the roster. His drafts from 2012-2017 were atrocious and was a big reason why we could never make a run. That and thinking it was a good idea to fill defensive starters with undrafted rookies (M.D. Jennings) So a first rounder wasn’t going to be the difference. Tom was just being a fan who thought GB was a player away, and they weren’t.
@@theamazingoppo4918 he can praise him all he wants. He thought BG was an idiot for making the selection. My point is he’s smarter than a fan (which is Tom) and understands the complexities of roster building in the NFL. What are you not getting here bud.
I think Green Bay made a great decision, I was honestly questioning it but now I’m happy we did, we made a solid pick with Love and we will see some great improvements in his play. Last year was the first year starting and he did better than most of us expected.
And yet they have the same amount of Super Bowls as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers since 1970. 6 Years before the Bucs even existed. Brad Johnson and Tom Brady combined to start 99 games for the Bucs and won 2 Super Bowls. Aaron Rodgers and Brett Favre combined to start 476 games for the Packers and won 2 Super Bowls.
I’ve heard it worse but it was definitely off. Do you think this is a computer voice or a human reading the narration? Not sure if it’s acceptable & considered Westernized to pronounce the “Tung” syllable as “Tag” within linguistics. Some names are seen as proper to pronounce more along the spelling but thought that disappeared from the NFL with Brett Favre whose name was even made fun of in the movie “Something About Mary.”
I was one of those Packers fan who was loudly unhappy with the Love pick. He sure silenced me last season. I don't know if we have enough to say he'll be on par with Rodgers and Favre, but man, he sure has talent, and looks incredibly promising. It's hard to believe the Pack made it to the playoffs, and won a game, and almost beat the 49ers in the playoffs, in his first starting season. I think Rodgers does deserve credit too, for helping Love grow as a QB. Unlike Favre, he helped Love, taught him what he knew, and that definitely rubbed off on Love. I see a lot of Rodgers in Love.
Tom Clements doesn't get his due. The only QB coach to work with all three of them and has a TON to do with Rodgers and Love's development. He came out of retirement because he loves working with JLove and will be back next year at a young 73 years old
I lived through the Favre-Rodgers transition. Really didn't like Rodgers, really didn't like the team not focusing on getting Favre a second ring. Then Favre shit the bed in Dallas, got benched, and Rodgers played great the remainder of the game. Got over the post-HOF QB fits back then, so I was neutral to Love when he was drafted. Granted, Rodgers made it easy to transition to Love in those last two years.
Honestly i think even if we (Packers) would have traded up and drafted Justin Jefferson instead of Jordan Love, it wouldn´t have been enough against that Tampa defense in 2020 and in 2021 our defense and special teams would have hurt us too much anyway to win.
Respect your opinion but Jefferson was OROY and absolutely 100% chance he makes GB on Offense better. Add him and DB69 and I’m about 60% sure the Packers make the SB. Not sure about beating KC because all teams match up different. 40% chance GB wins both games
Could you have imagined Jefferson and Adams on the same team? That would have changed the landscape of the offense, the Bucs would have had no chance. 49ers wouldn't have been able to double cover Adams. We should all agree that the Packers neglected WR for way too long because they didn't take a receiver in the 1st or 2nd round since Adams in 2014 at the time of the Jordan Love pick.
QB's who are given time to sit and learn behind a vet tend to have better success. Just like Rodgers, Love has been given a few years to acclimate and--while he still has a lot more room to grow--it's definitely paid off. Even Mahomes got to sit for a year and he looked SO bad in the preseason of his rookie season that I wasn't sure about him. 😂
This fan said at the time you MUST draft QBs before you need them. Also all the Round 1 WRs were gone, so people saying they should have gone WR are just wrong. Thank God fans don't make the picks.
It was leaked about a week before the draft that GB had significant interest in him and the vast majority of fans were against it at the time. The popular thinking was that we should be pushing to compete as hard as we could the last couple years that we had Rodgers. A lot of the mocks were this is what I think will happen more than this is what I would do. I think up until like week 8 last year a lot of us were still fairly nervous about how it would turn out.
Die hard Packer fan since the early’60’s . Let’s not ordain Love as a HOFer just yet . Showed promise the back end of ‘23 , so there is reason for optimism , but until he does it again … and again … and again …
Jordan Love wasn't ready to play until the middle of his 3rd season. He was Drafted in the back end of the 1st round. Right where a Developmental QB with a High Ceilling should be taken. He had a Very Low Floor. He needed the right place and time to develop. That is NOT a guy you take at the Top of the Draft.
GB is known for drafting a QB before they need one, and letting him learn on the bench. I will not be surprised if Love hoists the Lombardi Trophy and has a bust in Canton.
As a packer fan I can honestly say I was happy with Majkowski at center when he got hurt. I wasn't excited about drafting Rodgers and was pissed when Favre got traded. I didn't get excited when Love was drafted but I saw the writing on the wall and took it in stride. Sometimes I think it would be easier to be a Bears fan just to get excited about a linebacker or kick returner.
I feel like players picked from 15-30 tend to be better pros. If Packers ever draft a QB in rd1 I'm just gonna trust it lo! Even if Love still has 4 years left
It doesn’t matter what I think. Imo after what we know now (still limited). Jordan was in correct order for QB however he’d be a Top 10-12 selection imo. Maybe maybe top 8
absolutely right that Gruden and Mayock should never be in charge of another draft, anywhere. those guys didn’t do their homework. Ruggs couldn't catch a cold and OSU DBs have a history of being low character.
Don't pretend Love would have been good in 2021.... What happened to Love used to be how all rookie QBs (even those taken in 1st round) would be treated. It was previously unheard of to start a rookie QB if you weren't trying to run them off. This is what can happen if you draft a QB to a situation they can sit and learn. He's a bust if he goes to most other teams
There were plenty of good picks ahead of Love, and some who could of been if not for injuries. Would love to see what happened to the rest of the first round selections to see just how good this first round was.
Herbert hasn't won anything.... Because Brandon Staley was his head coach who cost the team a playoff spot by taking a meaningless timeout against Vegas, blew a 27 point lead to the Jags and had several other instances of losing games that had nothing to do with Herbert.
If youve seen Tom grossi’s video on project QB he talked about how in the draft, he said there was something called “Project QB”. And for those who don’t watch Tom grossi lemme explain: Tom explains that Rodgers sat behind Brett Favre and Rodgers became the best player we know of today. Then he says that Jordan love is a guy that needed to sit behind Rodgers for some time until we knew he was ready. And Tom says although we may have hated the packers and Brian for drafting a QB when at the time we didn’t need one, Tom says we may be thanking Brian later. And look at how well Jordon love has played. Us packers have a system unique to other franchises when it comes to quarterbacks.
It's not that the players are a bust. The teams drafting them. Don't develop. Coaches are on such a short leash. They don't have time to develop players anymore. They're throwing kids into a man's game and wonder why
I think the packers missed put on a superbowl appearance by picking him. I also thing the absolute best thing for him was sitting behind Rodgers for 3 seasons. He looks great and was very raw entering camp.
Now that Justin Herbert has Jim Harbaugh, look out. Remember what Harbaugh did with Alex Smith and Colin Kaepernick? Imagine now. Give that man two drafts to load the roster.
Love probably should've been drafted in the 2nd round... the only reason he is where he is today is that he was able to develop behind a veteran QB, and the Packers development program is probably the best in the NFL. The Packets front office had a cheat code formula for QB development akin to the Pythagorean theorem in geometry. If I'm ever a QB in college and the Packers are 2-3 years out at changing QBs, I'm crossing my fingers they take me.
I wasn't mad about Love because I wanted instant gratification, I was mad about it because 2 picks later was Patrick Queen. MLB run stopper. Oh, and the Packers still can't stop the run... Queen is who I was rooting for
@@kurtwicklund8901LB has a much safer floor though. Queen was guaranteed to come in and play all 5 years of his rookie deal while there was no guarantee that Love would play a single year of his. Obviously it worked out but there are also teams that have shot themselves in the foot by wasting 1st rounders on QBs they get no return from.
I'll admit I was baffled that we simply didn't take a receiver, but as a Packers fan I had absolutely nothing against Love. All I could think was "Dude is going to sit for a while" didn't understand just how good that would be for him
Yep. Everyone just thinks GB always gets a great QB. Laughable how this guy has a decent season and, now that every team has seen him, they'll put him right back into oblivion. Seriously, this is beyond ridiculous.
@@jeromeariganello9874 we shall see. His play and numbers were better than both Favre and Rodgers their starting year. He appears to be able to read defenses, he's learning when to tuck and run, when to throw it away, and he sure limited his turnovers down the stretch. Watch the playoff game against the Cowboys again and you'll see why Packers fans think they've found their franchise QB. I mean he sucked early in the year and still ended up throwing more TD passes in the regular season than anyone but Dak. I doubt oblivion will be his future, though he might not fly as high as some would like.
Someone that sits that long comes out starting after a few years sitting behind a first round hofer and every game comes out with the same poise as his first game action should be respected especially after his second half surge. Who knows what happens next year but damn if he isn’t locked in for now and definitely worth a late 1sr rd pick
"Love should have never fallen to the 26th pick" Love wasn't good when he was drafted. He had potential. Few times were willing or able to put in the time to develop that potential. Packers get good deals on QBs they draft because they can develop them, not because other teams just constantly miss these diamonds in the rough. You send Jordan Love to nearly any other team in 2020 and he's probably not putting up the numbers he did in 2023.
All of the 1st rounders drafted after Love were busts except Queen, who was on his way to become a bust until Roquan came in to save his career. Only Burrow, Thomas, Tua(questionable), Herbert, Brown(questionable), Wirfs, Terrell, Lamb, JJ, and Aiyuk are better or about the same tier of player as Love is. Yeah Packers front knows what they're doing
Personally, I believe the QBs drafted in 2020 went in order of talent and the teams that didn't take a QB in the first 25 picks didn't have an immediate need at QB. It was the perfect first round with the exception of Jetta. That isn't a hindsight comment because of his dominance in the NFL, he was a Top 3 WR in college that year.
LOL...I love this shit! ALL you Packers fans who said we "reached," and he was a bust? Where you at now? Now EVERYONE was a fan! I mean, we know Bears fans and Vikings and are waiting for our demise(exercise in futility). But Love didn't get much LOVE from a lot of Packers fans till this year.
Still think there is a good chance Love will be a bust. One quarter of a season against mid opposition with your RB playing at a god tier level doesn't really constitute a pattern.
Rodger’s was not in his prime Let’s be honest Yes he did go ahead to win back to back mvps but that was more him trying to prove himself after the love pick but the three years before that he was already in a rut and it wasn’t until mlf came in as coach and he began to look and play better
@@KingCheatsYTno, he won them in 2020 and 2021. Some say it's because they drafted Love and it lit a fire under his ass but while he was good, he wasn't MVP level in 2019
WOW, just wow, better than Herbert and Burrows? 😂😂😂😂😂😂 and I thought Lion fans were getting ridiculous, you Packer fans are on par with Buckeye fans. The most hated fan base in sports because of your obnoxiousnes.
@@glennwales4770not all of us I for one think he had a shaky season and turned around and has good potential but it may take a few year to get a superbowl our team isn't ready.
Packers have pooped the bed hard in the draft picking love was a bad move and trading out of the first round to pass on tj watt screwed us hard u don't go for a rebuild when ur going to the nfc championship game
Raiders theme was drafting "character" guys that season. They got Ruggs and Arnett 🤣. The year after they drafted Leatherwood in the 1st round. All out of the NFL. What a colossal failure Gruden was on draft day. Gruden's 1st year as GM/HC in 2019 he had 3 first round picks thanks to trading Cooper and Mack...they got Jacobs who was the only good one (and a RB is sketchy value). The other 2 were Ferrell and Abram. I can't think of a worse talent evaluator in the NFL.
Jordan love shouldn’t have went any higher in the draft this video is trying to make him look like the next Tom Brady because he had a good season his first full season as a starter. No one knows when a pick is going to be a bust or not and if you say you do you’re lying to yourself. Love was unproven and needed to develop which is what the packers did and it worked well for them, if for some reason he would’ve went higher like this video thinks he should’ve I don’t even think he would be in the league right now because he would’ve been forced to play immediately on a team that needed quarterback leadership which he did not have yet
@@mrip31 It’s not significant at all actually. Is this your first season watching the NFL? Cam Newton had a better rookie year than Jordan Love and look what happened to him. Peyton Manning had one of the worst rookie seasons of all time and look how he turned out. It honestly means nothing. But go ahead and crown him the GOAT if you want to 😂😂😂
You think Love is better than Herbert? 😂😂😂 all it took was a few games at the end of last season and now you people are anointing him a GOD? Frkn hilarious!
