The Packers have once again demonstrated their success at quarterback with Jordan Love.
Green Bay appears to have successfully defended its position in football’s most crucial position.
The Green Bay Packers have a history of acquiring talented quarterbacks, with Brett Favre being acquired in 1992 and Aaron Rodgers being drafted in 2005. Favre started for the Packers for 16 years, won a Super Bowl, and is in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Rodgers won a Super Bowl, was named All-Pro four times, and will be a Hall of Famer once he’s done dominating news cycles with the New York Jets. In 2020, Jordan Love was drafted and sat behind Rodgers for three seasons. Now, with Rodgers in New York with the Jets, Love has taken over as the starting quarterback. The Packers have won three straight and four of five games, putting them in the thick of the NFC playoff picture. This trend suggests that Green Bay might have done it again, as they have had franchise-caliber quarterbacks play for 30 years, and if Love is what it looks like, that run could extend to 40 years. This is a rare practice in the NFL, where teams invest heavily in their quarterbacks and let them learn behind established greats for several seasons before getting an opportunity.
