In Green Bay, quarterback questions are never casual conversation. They are civic identity tests. And with the Green Bay Packers, the standard isn’t competence — it’s legacy.
This is a franchise that went from Brett Favre to Aaron Rodgers and now Jordan Love has the distinction of being thrust into that elite conversation. But wait…is he elite?
For a year, the discussion around Love centered on transition. Could he replace Rodgers? Could he steady the franchise? Could he justify the patience?
That phase is over.
Now the question is sharper: Is Love ascending toward the NFL’s elite tier, or is he settling into the vast middle class of “good, not great” quarterbacks — the Kirk Cousins/Derek Carr territory where you win games but rarely define seasons?
