Analysis: After Jordan Love struggles in his first start, the Packers’ future isn’t any clearer
Rodgers eventually conceded and returned to the Packers, who breezed through the season until this week, when Love again found himself attached to Rodgers-driven drama. Rodgers tested positive for the coronavirus Wednesday, which led to the revelation that he was not vaccinated despite his preseason claim of being “immunized” and apparent flouting of NFL protocols.
“It’s a very small sample size,” said David Yost, Love’s offensive coordinator and quarterback coach at Utah State. “If he had gone out today and thrown for 400 yards, that doesn’t mean he’s going to be a Hall of Famer. I know the type of kid he is and how he will prepare himself to be successful. He prepared himself to go be successful today. It didn’t seem like it was too big or overwhelming.”Rodgers’s handling of his personal situation left Love with an unfair task.
“Once I hit the field, there were some nerves there,” Love said. “After that, I was able to settle down a little bit.”Love’s lack of first-team repetitions surfaced when he was throwing to Davante Adams. He may be the best wide receiver in football, but even Adams requires a connection with his quarterback. Love targeted Adams 14 times, completing only six passes.“It takes time being able to build that chemistry,” Love said.
“He’ll get better as he does it under live action,” Yost said. “It’s been a while since anybody’s been able to hit him. In practice, they run by you and let you make the throw. That’s kind of a learning-on-Sunday throw.”The team around him rarely helped. Green Bay’s special teams made the game more difficult for Love than it needed to be. Kicker Mason Crosby, operating with a new long snapper, missed one field goal and had another one blocked. A muffed punt gave the Chiefs free points.
