Jordan Love Ranked 13th by NFL Peers in Divided Assessment of Packers Scheme

A 50-coach poll ranks Love 13th overall with no first-tier votes, reflecting debate over whether his deep-ball prowess has been sheltered or suppressed by Green Bay’s run-heavy play-calling.

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.
