The Green Bay Packers have not had to worry about their quarterback situation for almost two decades as superstar Aaron Rodgers has led the way for the team for 18 years, leading the team to a Super Bowl title and claiming multiple league MVP Awards. But with Rodgers now leaving for the New York Jets, it sure sounds like there’s a little more uncertainty at the position.
With Aaron Rodgers leaving the team, the Green Bay Packers will obviously turn to Jordan Love, who’s served as Rodgers’ backup for the past three seasons. But some recent comments from Packers head coach Matt LaFleur do not exactly inspire a lot of confidence in Love.
During an interview on Tuesday, LaFleur got brutally honest about what he expects to see from Jordan Love this season, saying “we all have to kind of temper our expectations for him.”

This is quite a concerning assessment of the Packers’ quarterback situation and is obviously not what Green Bay fans want to hear after having an MVP-caliber quarterback for nearly two decades. And the NFL world had plenty to say about it on Twitter.
Sometimes you just gotta draft the second best QB named Love in the mountain west conference in 2019, cause an irrevocable rift w your HOF QB by doing so, wait till year 4 of his career to even start him, and then tell folks to temper their expectations https://t.co/ylmPnTofoq

This is the first time Green Bay has been in shambles like this in my lifetime and I am enjoying every second https://t.co/gdVh4GbkeR

Fine
He won't be a unanimous MVP.
Mahomes/Burrow might steal a couple votes. They are good too. https://t.co/tIldueEfwY

The more LaFleur talks the more I am starting to agree with @RyanHorvat on his opinion of him. https://t.co/4r37lgtqdf

It will certainly be interesting to see how Love performs this upcoming NFL season.
