Let’s be honest, Packers quarterback Jordan Love had huge shoes to fill following QBs Aaron Rodgers and Brett Favre. It’s not too often you see a franchise hit on three quarterbacks in a row. Jordan Love was a hidden backup quarterback for multiple seasons, and no one knew what to think of him.

After the blockbuster Aaron Rodgers trade in the 2022 offseason, Love got the starting spot for the 2023 season. At the start, Love and the Packers did not look how people had hoped. Through Week 7 of the regular season, the Packers were 2-5 with critics saying they had no shot at redemption this year. Love was a miss. Some argued that their head coach Matt LaFleur was holding back play calls because he didn’t trust his quarterback.

As soon as things got rough in Green Bay is just when they turned it around. The idea that their season was over helped Love loosen up on the field. He started finding receivers like Jayden Reed and Romeo Doubs. They started stacking wins and surprisingly found themselves with a playoff spot.

With Jordan Love and the Packers turning their season around and defying expectations, it is safe to say Green Bay has found their quarterback. Love threw for over 4,000 yards and 32 touchdowns. Green Bay’s offense is on fire, and they now look to upset the Cowboys on Wild Card weekend.
