Windy City Gridiron
After watching the wild, exciting finish to Sunday’s matchup against the New York Giants that resulted in Brian Daboll being fired, I had all sorts of things ready to talk about that game.
But then Monday Night Football happened.
I’ve been sitting here for a big chunk of Tuesday, going, “Should I do it? Should I do it? It could eventually go wrong, and it could age really poorly. Yeah, I should do it. Who cares how it ages? All that matters is right now.”
Petty, thy name is Zimmerman. Let’s let this rip.
A couple of weeks ago, Packers fans didn’t feel like heading to the Mars Cheese Castle, and since they didn’t have anything else to do in Wisconsin, they decided to find tweets knocking Jordan Love, and lo and behold, they found one from me.
Now, I’ll be fair, that tweet didn’t age great, but at the time, I still say that tweet was 100% accurate at the time. That tweet was sent the day the Packers sent Aaron Rodgers to the New York Jets. Jordan Love had started one game, had come in on a couple of others, and was pretty awful whenever he played.
Clearly, Jared Goff and Kirk Cousins were better at the time, and coming off Justin Fields’ 2022 season, when people were buzzing about what Fields could grow into, he was definitely better as well.
Packers fans found this and freaked out. They jumped into my DMs, they dragged the tweet everywhere, and the tweet ended up on Freezing Cold Takes.
I hadn’t thought much about the Packers this year, to be honest, the Bears have been fun to watch, the Packers games are in December, they just haven’t been too on the radar.
But then the Packers fans did what they did, and oh man, did I get annoyed.
So, here on November 11th, let me ask you, Packers fans, how do our asses look?
Yes, that’s right, the Green Bay Packers sit behind the Chicago Bears in the NFC North standings in mid-November.
Will this article age poorly? Maybe. Do I care? No, I do not.
But here’s a statement I’m confident will age just fine: the Green Bay Packers are not a Super Bowl contender. And they aren’t because of Jordan Love.
Packers fans refuse to admit it. They want to blame Matt LaFleur. They want to blame injuries. They want to blame anything that’s not named Jordan Love. Packers fans just need to believe that it’s Brett Favre to Aaron Rodgers to Jordan Love. It’s not. Sure, Love is their next starter, but he’s not in their league. He’s not even in their atmosphere.
Jordan Love is a good quarterback. Good, however, in the NFL, isn’t good enough.
If you are going to be a Super Bowl contender in this league, very good is the minimum at QB, great is the preferred level of skill. Jordan Love is 27. With every game that passes, the ceiling drops a...
