Jordan Love Provides Green Bay Packers With Plenty of Optimism

As we get closer to the start of the 2024 season for the Green Bay Packers, why should they be optimistic about the season? Quarterback Jordan Love is one major reason.

The Green Bay Packers are getting prepared for a big 2024 season with higher expectations than last season. Coming into 2023, there was a lot of uncertainty surrounding the Packers and most notably the quarterback position.

After moving on from Aaron Rodgers in the offseason, the Packers handed over the keys to the franchise to Jordan Love. When the Packers drafted Love in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft, it became apparent that he was likely going to be taking over for Rodgers.

While things didn’t start great for Jordan Love, he picked it up in the second half of the season and looked like one of the best quarterbacks in the league. Recently, Pro Football Focus spoke about what should make the Packers optimistic about the 2024 season. Here’s what they had to say.

Jordan Love is just getting started

One of the biggest stories down the stretch of the 2023 season was the rapid ascent of Jordan Love’s production. Through Week 8, Love ranked 24th in the league in passing grade and was tied for second in interceptions. From Week 9 through the end of the year, he led the NFL with a 90.7 passing grade and tied for second with 28 big-time throws.

The emergence of Love in the second half of last season was key for the Packers becoming a threat in the NFC Playoffs last season. If Jordan Love can replicate what he did in the second half of the season, he is going to be in the MVP conversation and the Packers are going to be a true contender.

With the 2024 season quickly approaching the play of Love is certainly a big reason for the Green Bay Packers to be optimistic going into the season.
