Jordan Love’s season has been “night and day” as head coach Matt LaFleur described it.
That growth has shown in the form of his abilities and confidence. He’s been able to show some of that controlled aggression, and of course, the way he throws the ball.
“The man got an arm,” 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel said on Up and Adams. “I think he did a good job of watching A-Rod flick that wrist and throw the ball down the field and be accurate for sure.”

His arm is more than the strength variety. Love has a way of being able to throw the ball from different angles — an art he’s been able to from the beginning.
The confidence is spreading to his offense, creating less hesitation on calls to execute. It makes it easier on wide receivers and let’s face it, it’ll make him stand out from the typical quarterback.
Love finishes the regular season with 4,159 passings yards and 32 touchdowns — assisting the team toward the playoffs.
Rodgers himself complimented the quarterback on his throwing abilities, too and said he’s been impressed with watching his progression.
“Jordan’s a great kid,” Rodgers said earlier this season on “The Pat McAfee Show” on ESPN. “And people are getting to see his ability and his progression.”
