Overview

• Of the 50 voters in The Athletic’s quarterback tiers, Love received 28 second-tier and 22 third-tier votes without a single first-tier nod.
• An offensive coach told Mike Sando that Love’s command of Green Bay’s coach-driven scheme may be curbing his growth by limiting opportunities to deploy his deep-throw strengths.
• Critics argue Love’s lack of physical dominance and susceptibility under pressure contrast with his teammates’ blocking, which has bolstered his production.
• Last season’s highlights include a 63.1% completion rate for 3,389 yards, 25 TDs, 11 INTs and an NFL-leading 35 completions of 30-plus yards.
• The Packers’ 2025 first-round pick, receiver Matthew Golden, is viewed as a sign that the team may lean more on Love’s arm in upcoming games.
