How Does Love Rank Among Starting QBs?
Does he already deserve elite money?
By KenLass
As we await word on a contract extension for Jordan Love, the debate over what he is currently worth has intensified. When the 2023 season ended, the speculation was Love’s new deal would be in the $45 million per year range. That quickly escalated to the $50 million range.
Now that the Lions have signed Jared Goff to a monster deal worth $53 million per year, and reports are circulating that Dak Prescott is asking for $60 million, the asking price by Love might well be rising again.
The issues in the debate over what Green Bay’s young signal caller is worth are familiar to you by now. In summary, he showed the capability of being among the elite quarterbacks in the NFL, but the sample size is very small, encompassing really about ten games.
One way we might assess his value is to compare him to the other starting QBs around the league, and determine how many of them you would take over Love. To do this realistically, you must take off your cheesehead, remove your green and gold sunglasses, and slip out of your Packers jersey for just a moment. Try to read the following assessments as objectively as you can.
NFC North – Caleb Williams, Jared Goff, Sam Darnold
No one knows how good Williams will be, but certainly there will be a learning curve. Goff is a proven winner but clearly not as gifted as Love in overall ability. At this point I would take Love over any of these.
NFC South – Kirk Cousins, Derrick Carr, Bryce Young, Baker Mayfield
Cousins is very good but entering his upper thirties and coming back from a major injury. Young might develop but he didn’t show potential for greatness in his rookie season. Mayfield had a resurgent year but no one would consider him among the league’s best. I would take Love over any of these.
NFC East – Dak Prescott, Jalen Hurts, Daniel Jones, Jaden Daniels
Love is certainly better than Jones, Daniels is an incoming rookie who reminds me of Justin Fields, great runner, mediocre thrower. Love outperformed Prescott in the playoffs last January. I would give Hurts a slight edge over Love.
NFC West – Kyler Murray, Matthew Stafford, Brock Purdy, Geno Smith
Stafford is a better passer but beat up and past his prime. Murray has the overall skill set but hasn’t shown the ability to put the team on his back. Purdy beat Love in the playoffs but how many general managers would take him over Love right now? I could live with either Stafford or Purdy as my quarterback, but I’d still take Love over all of these.
AFC North – Lamar Jackson, Russel Wilson, Desean Watson, Joe Burrow
I would put Love behind Jackson and Burrow. Jackson has two MVPs and Burrow has taken his team to a Super Bowl. Love may eventually surpass them, but today it would be hard to justify paying him more than these two.
AFC East – Aaron Rodgers, Drake Maye, Tua Tagovailoa, Josh Allen
Rodgers is a Hall of Famer, but Love took the Packers to a better record with better stats despite a younger supporting cast last season. The Dolphins will overpay for Tua, but he is oft injured and inconsistent. Josh Allen is elite and better than Love, a better runner and passer.
AFC South – CJ Stroud, Anthony Richardson, Trevor Lawrence, Will Levis
AFC West – Patrick Mahomes, Justin Herbert, Bo Nix, Aiden O’Connell
Mahomes and Herbert have earned a bigger payday than Love. I have to feel as though most NFL personnel people would take both of them over Green Bay’s quarterback today.
So, doing my best to be objective, I would take Jordan Love over all but one quarterback in the NFC (Hurts), and all but six in the AFC (Mahomes, Herbert, Jackson, Allen, Burrow and Stroud). That would rank him as, roughly, the eighth best overall heading into these contract negotiations. Right now the eighth highest QB contract in the league is Kirk Cousins at $45 million per year. But that will certainly change with Tagovailoa and Prescott getting new deals. Both will ask for more than Goff’s $53 million, so it’s very likely Love will as well.
At that price range, the Packers may well choose to wait and see how Love performs this fall. If you’re going to have to pay top dollar anyway, why not wait and see if he continues to ascend? The franchise tag, while not desirable, is also an option next season. Love may also choose to bet on himself and play the season without an extension, although he would be risking injury. For what it’s worth, ESPN’s Adam Schefter told a Milwaukee radio talk show that the deal “isn’t anywhere close to getting done.”
So don’t wait with bated breath for a new contract announcement. It may not come this summer. No worries. If Jordan Love is the real deal, the Packers will eventually pay what they have to. He’s not going anywhere. Except maybe to the Super Bowl.

I used to think that the stock you hold is Packer's stock. Now I realize that I am mistaken.
Your love for Rodgers is clear. I do not begrudge you that. However I think that you would be happier moving over to sites that cater to NY Jets' fans. You are obviously not a Packer's fan, you are a Rodgers' fan. Again, nothing wrong with that, I like him too, and wish him luck (except when playing against Packers), however it means that you've become a troll here.
If you're not a troll, maybe you need a deep introspection; come back when you figure things out, we'll welcome you.
Goodbye!

Stockholder IS a Packers fan, at least IMO. You don't make as many comments as SH and not be a Packers fan. Stockholder just has some very strong opinions and holds to them. Personally I think he's holding on a little too tight.
BUT...SH has never liked Love and I'm not so sure when Love wins a SB SH will even admit it then...Love was a GREAT pick!

I will never admit Love was a great pick.
But I don't hate Love either.
I want him to win a Super Bowl.
But the circumstances surrounding the pick.
Wasn't about winning. It was about replacement.
And until he wins something.
I've judged him more as a Teacher's Pet.

Why is it so hard to understand it was about Replacing a QB who's performance was trending downward, was knocking on 40 years of age, and had become a cancer that actively worked against the coaches and was defying the front office at every turn with outbursts and talking about possible retirement?
Being about winning, being about replacement - not mutually exclusive.
Never admitting Love was a great pick- no matter the outcome of his career- only shows your inability to think and process in a dynamic system. Your world is a series of static snapshots. What was pre-ordained on draft day is the undeniable, unchangeable "truth" to you. It does not matter how things actually unfold, your consensus draft board the day of the draft is the only thing that matters. You sir, are silly.

Every draft pick by every NFL team is about replacement. At every position. Doesn't matter if the starting player is still good. Every draft pick, every UDFA signed, every random vet pickup, every single prospect is brought in to train up, develop, compete with and replace at a higher-level of play [ideally] than Aaron Rodgers and every other player, regardless of position. Every single NFL franchise does this every single year at every single position. Is there anything, anything at all, that makes Love's selection different? If so, all of PackerLand awaits the specific basis for saying drafting Love somehow deviates from standard process.

The Packers should have traded Rodgers to the Broncos, who instead gave up a huge amount in players and picks to get Russell Wilson. Was Love ready at that time? Probably not. The Packers probably would have had a couple of rough seasons, with Love showing a lot of improvement in his second season. This speculation is based on what he did last season. Rodgers was unhappy in GB, wanted a much bigger role in choosing personnel, and then wouldn't throw to anyone who hadn't "gained his trust". Which pretty much excluded anyone but Adams in crucial situations. His time had run out, and his ego had outweighed his talent. But he is now the Jets problem, and the Packers biggest problem is how much to pay Love. The structure of the contract will be much more interesting than the actual numbers.

I'd take Love over any QB in the NFC, including Hurts. I'd take Love over all but five in the AFC: Mahomes, Allen, Jackson, Herbert and Burrow. Stroud is debatable. 2 years older? Eh...
We are going to go to the Super Bowl this year. I really believe it.

Me too Bearmeat. I'm in the exact same place as you. I'm not so sure I'd take Burrow or Herbert over Love either. Right this second probably. But if Love is that same dude we saw the last 10 games of the season last year, for the entire season this year, then it's a big Hell Yeah, give me Love over Burrow and Herbert too.
Herbert hasn't done squat and Burrow has knees like Joe Nameth. Time will tell but if he's balling out from the start this upcoming season they BEST get him signed!
...Good teams who are well run have THESE kind of problems. Hmmm, when do I pay my AWESOME QB!

I agree with the talent assessment, and I love the enthusiasm and optimistic prediction for the Superbowl.
I certainly don't think a super bowl appearance or even a win is out of the realm of possibility or any more far fetched a prediction than it would be for any other competitive team who made a playoff push in 2023. With exception to KC and SF, I don't think any team in the NFL held a clear advantage over the late season / playoff Packers team of 2023.
That being said... I still believe there will be 2 hurdles inherent in the Packers 2024 season that could result in them coming up short.
1) The growing pains of adjusting to Jeff Hafley's new staff and scheme.
Yes, we're all hopeful that this will be a change that produces great ROI. That said, it typically takes time for a new scheme to take root and flourish. I also have concerns that we're shifting from 3-4 base to 4-3, as it effectively takes some of our strongest pass rush / line defenders (Gary, P. Smith, etc) and other long-term developmental investments (Enagbare, perhaps LVN) who were picked, built, and tooled for edge defender responsibility primarily as 3-4 OLBs playing the LOS from a 2-point stance, and challenges Hafley to find a fit for them within his 4-3 scheme, probably challenging those edge players to somewhat retool their bodies as well. I do think we'll have long-term success with Hafley and it will be exciting, but 2024 may be a season of growth, learning, and adjustment with the excitement of seeing it start to come together late in the season, but full bloom will most likely be mid 2025. I hope I am pleasantly surprised otherwise.
2) Love will likely throw substantially more picks compared to his amazing run in the second half of 2023.
This is not an indictment of Love's talent- the kid is a straight baller- but watching his amazing laser-precise throws that were becoming common in 2023 down the stretch- throws that exuded confidence in himself, showcased his extreme arm talent when he's settled in, and his ultimate trust in his teammates to make the play- it's impossible for me to assume that type of play is sustainable without more of those balls ending up in incompletions or picks. So many throws lodged into impossibly small windows, literally fractions of an inch from defender's fingertips. Amazing displays of talent and ability, but Love's next step in development will be learning context- when is the right time to take that shot, and when is it prudent to maybe NOT attempt that throw. Unfortunately, that lesson is typically learned the hard way. I would assume 2024 is going to be that season. That's not to say it means he won't have a great year; it's just that while last year was a long, steady ramp up to great play through the last 12 games or so of the year (including playoffs), I see 2024 being more of a roller coaster of highs and lows while Love learns that you can't just continually thread the needle against NFL defenses without having a few get snagged out of the air. There were a number of balls that were so accurate into extremely tight windows last year- balls that are 50/50 balls only because of the ridiculously tight tolerances required to complete them- that were on the money completions, I just have to think we return back to statistical middle ground and see fewer of those completed. Love will still be great, but he will be learning how to manage risk in 2024. I fully expect the nay-sayers to be out with pitchforks at certain points in the year- because they're idiots.
So.. yeah.. I hope neither 1 or 2 are true, but I could see these factors as being the likely stumbling blocks to a SB run in 2024. But I'd be happy to be completely wrong :)

"1) The growing pains of adjusting to Jeff Hafley's new staff and scheme."
I think the inconsistency of Barry's D means that even if there's a significant adjustment period, it might only be a push.
"2) Love will likely throw substantially more picks compared to his amazing run in the second half of 2023."
My greatest concern here is his penchant for uncorking floaters downfileld. If you're saying that there's likely to be regression in how many of those turned into catches and how many were picked, you might be right. His 11 picks in 2023 is pretty middle of the pack in today's high-efficiency offenses. He was tied for 10th-most with Josh Dobbs an Bryce Young and behind marquee players like Allen, Mahomes, Hurts, Tua, Goff, and others. A lot of the guys with fewer than 11 who are household names missed quite a few games with injuries.
I think that if he throws in the 14-18 range for picks, it will be because this Packers team was forced to play from behind a lot more than many of us are expecting at this point.
I agree with the general statement that they've got as much a chance as any team that made a late run last season, but I'm still more on 2025 than 2024 at this point. I'll certainly take it if it happens.

Dobber,
in regards to the picks, my immediate concern for 2025 is the crazy-tight window stuff. They are fantastic displays of his insane arm talent potential, and I'm concerned Love may begin to believe he can 'just do that' whenever he wants.. I think the truth of the matter is those types of throws are amazing but even with all of the pin-point accuracy and velocity in the world, they're still basically jump balls because the window is so tight. The lesson to be learned is going to be 'discretion is the better part of valor' I think.
I also would like to see Love (and/or his coaches) figure out how to settle Love down for the first 1/4 to 1/2 of the game. We've all seen him come out of the tunnel and just be 'off' for his first few drives. This is specifically where I've seen the floaters- not necessarily on deep balls- and throws that just seem to get away from him and drift high. A lot of these balls ended up either sailing over the intended target or getting tipped up by the receiver and end up finding the turf.. but an awful lot of those balls could have easily been picked. I'm less concerned about these throws because that is clearly early-game "getting settled in" jitters, and I believe with experience and some coaching, he'll get that figured out. Hopefully by the time he touches down in Brazil.
Either way, I'm optimistic about Love. The arm talent, leadership, grasp of the offense is all there. He's just going to take some lumps while polishing up the finer points. He's 100% top 10 QB material right now as an unfinished product. He has top 3 potential all day long, IMO.
Bearmeat
May 19, 2024 at 07:37 am
Oppy,
I think Love sat on the bench through that part of his career. I think we are in for MVP/HOF level play a la Favre from 95-07 and Rodgers 09-21. I think Love IS a top 5 QB right now and has an excellent chance to win the MVP this year with 40 plus TDs, 4500 plus yards and 10 or less INTs. Those tight window throws were no accident. Love knew what he was doing when he unleashed them. They were all either arm punts/YOLO balls or in gotta have it situations. The one exception was the end of the SF game, and I’ll chalk that one up to playoff experience. Hell, he’s even single-handedly willed the team to victory against the Panthers last year, and should have done so against the Giants except for Joe Barry. He’s the real deal and will show everyone that deal this year.
Oppy
May 19, 2024 at 07:55 am
I'm 100% on board with Love, and I believe he is "the real deal", and he will be one of the league's top QBs (He certainly proved he's got the talent and played at an elite level for an extended period last season..). I just don't think he's completely developed yet, and there will be some growing pains. You can develop your understanding of the offense from the bench and generate muscle memory in practice, but real-time decision making can only be developed from live play on Sundays. The proverbial cake is still in the oven- there's lessons still to be learned from live action and they will sometimes be hard-learned.
Packers0808
May 17, 2024 at 01:36 pm
I would wait until at 10-12 games too see what Love does going forward and then decide his worth or fate what ever wins out. Hopefully Packers learned a lesson with the Rodgers fiasco. Just my take on how to move forward, right or wrong.
jont
May 17, 2024 at 01:50 pm
Schefter's comments mean less than nothing to me.
That understood, the 2 year deal for Love last year was done specifically so the two parties could take their time to work out a new contract after Love showed what he could do. The talks are on schedule, and he'll get a good package with targets to put him at or near the top of the salary scale.
Does anyone seriously think the Packers are not going to sign Love?

I'd like to believe that by the end of this season Love has a consensus rank somewhere in the top 5 QBs.

May 17, 2024 at 02:25 pm
Does Love deserve elite money? Yes and No. Based on his small body of work - a long term guaranteed contract is probably not merited. Rather, a bridge contract at or near an elite income level would be more prudent. Thus providing a greater body of work from which a larger, long term contract can be formulated. Or not.

May 17, 2024 at 06:39 pm
Yes "nonsensical" and an affront to good investment practices. I'm not opposed to QBs being paid commensurate to their performance(s). Except, when they don't - which regularly happens - their paycheck is still the same. However, there is a simple solution. Only up to 50% of a QB's contract can be guaranteed. The balance is then earned subject to games played (availability), QB rating, interceptions-to-TDs etc. So, for instance, on a 50m/yr. contract - the base salary would be 25 M. With the balance to be earned with good on-field performances. Thus, in any year, a QB could earn anywhere between 25-50 M - which would be a more value-based figure. However, NFL teams have often not seen the forest for the trees.

A shorter contract might seem to make sense, but looking closer........
Love has waited patiently for years. He will be due something in the $50m per year range RIGHT NOW, so I don't expect him to be ok with a short contract.
I also don't expect the Packers to pay max up-front money in a short-contract deal, when they can negotiate a longer deal that ends up cheaper per year overall, with some kind of signing bonus spread over the life of the contract - which gives Love what he wants (money in the bank now and greater financial security) and suits the Packers (the money hit to the cap is spread over several years).
I am expecting something in the region of a 5 year contract to be agreed on.
A 'bridging' contract is a thing when THE PACKERS are not sure whether a big deal will turn out bad. I have seen/heard no signs of doubt coming from anywhere in 1265. They know what they have, will pay him accordingly and have him locked up as their guy for half a decade.
Before the start of last season a bridging deal made some sense and the contract would have been for much less money, but It's way, way too late for that, now both sides have a much clearer idea of what Love is.
ricky
May 17, 2024 at 02:46 pm
Not to be too picky, but I'd take Love over Jackson. Two MVP's, but is also 1-3 in the post-season. Also, Jackson's running the football a lot is going to shorten his career, or at minimum will make him less effective later on. Cousins is getting $45 per year, but the contract is all guaranteed money. Would Love take less if it was all guaranteed? Would the Packers (or the fans) want to commit to that? Very likely, no. Now, as to Hurts, he has a longer time starting, and the Eagles have gone to one SB with him as QB. He is good, but inconsistent. Even Burrow has had his injury problems. And because he has decided to take a maximum contract, it seems his WR corps will be depleted. In the meantime, Love got better during his first season, and made do with no-name WR's who just caught well thrown balls in an offense that allowed them to get more separation. And, of course, the elephant herd in the room: if not Love, who? Sign a veteran? Tank for a season and hope your draft pick blooms in his first or second year? Pay the man.

What switch to the running game?
I'd be shocked to see this team changes much in comparison to the last four years where they consistently ran the ball between 42-45% of the time with a future HOF QB or a first-time starter under C, and in seasons where they won 13 games or 7.
They certainly had no problem handing 12 money under those circumstances.
We have to realize that it's the cap hit not the AAV that matters, and in many of those contracts, they get massaged out on an annual basis to mitigate those hits. Despite his AAV, how many times did Rodgers actually count more than $36M against the cap? You'd be surprised.
Oppy
May 18, 2024 at 11:40 am
It's not about how much you're taking the ball out of the the QB's hands, it's about what your QB can do with the ball when it is.
QB efficiency is typically a greater factor in winning than gross output, clock control and play action are powerful tools to command field position and flow of the game.
You have much to learn young padawan.

The biggest knock I have against Allen is his penchant for poorly timed TOs. Very good passer and runner but too many fumbles and INTs.
Welshy44
May 18, 2024 at 02:00 am
The team can save a ton of money just extending Love now. A similar situation happened with Dak a few years ago and it cost the Cowboys 10's of millions by waiting and paying him more than they would have if they would have just extended him. Best case scenario if they wait is Love lights it up and wins a SB and they pay him 70 mil a year next year when somebody inferior resets the QB market. Worst case is he has a similar season and will still be asking for 70 mil a year next year anyways. Lock him in at 60 and bet on yourself IMO.

nagawicka
May 18, 2024 at 10:34 am
Ten (10) games is not a small sample size. Love's done pretty well with a young, unproven roster. Packers know what they've got in Love, and they'll pay him now b/c very obviously they'd inevitably have to pay more later. It's a great position to be in, b/c telegraphing your punches to rivals isn't real bright, and the glare and hype gifted to 'proven' quarterback 'heros' is useless for player performance and counterproductive to team morale, a drag on winning momentum etc. Love was able to develop under the radar, a huge advantage, and drafting 3 OL roadgraders to protect Love as he's hitting his stride--esp establishing a dominant run game-- yeah. Not their first ro-de-o. Place your bets, nonbelievers.
vin0770
May 19, 2024 at 07:59 am
We all wonder if we really saw what we saw the second half of last year…because the sample size makes you pause, along with the other half of the season we watched and questioned his accuracy when bouncing on layups in the flat. So they are all in on JL and money speaks.
Five year deal with the first number starting with a $5x. The guaranteed money is always what matters so if they love Love, it’s probably north of $150 million.
I think we got another top ten qb and am a believer. Such a nice problem to have to figure out how much $ vs who’s next!

There is not enough history with Love yet to be Top 10, but with another good year in 2024 he is easily on that list. Pay the money, get it done.

"Purdy beat Love in the playoffs but how many general managers would take him over Love right now?"
Oh gawd.
* Purdy is younger (you harped on that for other QB matchups but ignore it here).
* Purdy threw for more yards in the game (252 vs 194. Not even 200yds!!! )
* Purdy had a better TD:Int ratio in the game (1:0 vs 2:2)
* Purdy had a better QBR in the game (62.1 vs 42.9)
* Purdy had a better QBR in the season too (72.8 vs 62.1)
* and as you pointed out, Purdy's team one the game, the stat that matters most.
If Purdy was in LaFleur's system, he wouldn't need 1 year (let alone 4) to get acclimated. That should tell you who the better QB is right there.
Gawd, and I thought 49er fans in the 90's were insufferable...

Not much here to disagree with. The only one someone might challenge is Prescott. But even without the playoff victory, I'd rank Love ahead of Prescott. Prescott is a lot like Rodgers, terrific in the regular season but not there in the big moments during the playoffs.
Finally, I'd take Love over Herbert, and I like Herbert a lot.
