If Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love (10) plays well Sunday, it will make it easier for the team to move on from Aaron Rodgers (12) next offseason.
NLF teams that have first round quarterbacks on rookie deals don’t keep those players on the bench for long. In fact, the last first round quarterback to sit for three years was Rodgers himself from 2005-07.
So is all of Packer Nation, which understands this game has more mystery and intrigue than any Green Bay contest in years. Rodgers — who was in his third year — came off the bench and completed 18 of 26 passes for 201 yards, threw his first NFL touchdown and had an impressive quarterback rating of 104.8.
“My mindset’s the same,” Love said. “One play away, you never know what happens, especially with this COVID stuff going on, crazy things happen. So, you have to be ready for whatever. So, I’ve been preparing myself for that moment, and now’s the time.” Favre threw more interceptions than touchdowns in 1993 — his third year in the NFL. And when he was still struggling in 1994, many coaches on Mike Holmgren’s staff wanted to bench Favre and play Mark Brunell.
“I can tell you that ‘09 was a tense season for everybody, especially coming off of ’08 the way we played,” Rodgers said in the“That was a pretty tense year. We all kind of felt like we were playing for our jobs.”
