Jordan Love’s recent struggles, showcased in the loss to the Giants, bring to light persistent issues in accuracy, decision-making, and footwork that have plagued him throughout the season. Despite a promising six-week stretch, Monday night exposed the challenges he faces in his development as the franchise’s future quarterback.
While Love has shown glimpses of improvement, the game against the Giants highlighted ongoing concerns. His inconsistent play, including a lost fumble in the red zone and an interception, contributed to the Packers’ 24-22 defeat. Despite engineering a late-game drive, defensive shortcomings undid his efforts.
Love’s growth pains are expected in his first year of consistent game reps since 2019, following a year of inactivity as a rookie and two years as a backup. However, the lasting worry lies in the persistence of issues such as accuracy, timing, and footwork into the next season.
Accuracy was a notable struggle for Love throughout the game. A mid-first quarter instance, where he missed a wide-open check down, exemplifies this. His process was hurried, leading to an overthrown pass. Erratic footwork, particularly an unstable back foot, resulted in off-target throws and a lack of control over trajectory.
Inconsistencies in Love’s decision-making process also surfaced, leading to late or off-target throws. While occasional lapses can be overcome, the concern lies in the repeatability of such errors.
The outlook hinges on whether these issues persist or diminish with more experience. Currently, it appears that with time and additional reps, Love may overcome these challenges. This game serves as a reminder that flaws exist but suggests they might be correctable. The last seven games, on the whole, have not consistently showcased these problems.
