I agree Cory! Not necessarily that Love will throw for 300 tomorrow, but that we need to continue looking for highlights and improvements, and Love HAS been better lately, despite the naysayers.
That said, the Chargers have some very talented players on their defense (Khalil Mack, Joey Bosa, and Derwin James in particular), so our offense is going to need EVERYBODY to play reasonably well. If the line can protect Love, and if his receivers actually catch his passes, he might have a good game.

77 drops??
Is that a typo?

I remember when the Packers offense had a fun resurgence with Lynn Dickey at QB. The Packers were still only a .500 team but it sure was fun watching them play! They competed, played hard and gave us fans hope. The team never broke through in those days but it was...well fun. I'd love to get that feeling back for this team. Give us hope for better days and we will rally behind you! Chargers 34 Packers 31.

"As long as Love is patient and puts the ball where it has to be, there’s no reason why Love shouldn’t see 300. I would absolutely love to see Love throw the ball deep with pinpoint accuracy."

Hmmm...Considering how the season has went with Love's "Deep Ball" I think the ENTIRE Packers Nation would love to see Love throw the deep ball with pinpoint accuracy.

Hell, at this point I'd settle for ONE 70 yard bomb put in the exact right spot and a few less drops.

SMH...77 drops and we wonder why they are 3-6?

I think he’d have a better chance to hit a golf ball 300 yards.
In Bowling; a 300 is a perfect game. And thats the point.
Love needs to be perfect. Love isn’t. Sure you see a rifle.
But the accuracy just isn’t there. He’s been a Yo-Yo.
Even Rodger’s didn’t throw for 300 yards in 2022.
He had issues. But he still played as expected and smart.
Thats the difference. Love isn’t playing as Rodgers did, yet.
That 300 game DOESN’T MEAN you're the Qb.
Just Look at Don Majkowski, being replaced by Brett Favre.
EVEN IF YOU WANT LOVE TO BE DREW BRES.
And you keep pointing to his surrounding corp drops.
Love must show that he can succeed with emotion.
“The thrill of victory, and the agony of defeat.”.
It's about having a mindset that sees a winning performance as being prepared, never giving up, and letting go of the uncontrollable.

" and thanks to 77 drops this season"

8.5 drops per game?? You might want to check your sources Cory. According to Pro Football Reference, the Packers have 18. That's the 8th most in the NFL. Number 1.....the Chiefs with 25.

I don't know if Jordan Love is improving. In his first 2 games this season he threw 6 TDS and 0 interceptions.
In the last 7 games he has thrown 8 TDs and 10 interceptions. Also is his last game against Pittsburgh he completed 21 of 40 attempts including 2 TDs and 2 interceptions.

I guess it depends on how you define improvement or success. Now in fairness to Love if the 77 drops is accurate that is clearly hurting his completion percentage. As I've posted before where is the receivers coach? IN any case we have seen that Love has accuracy issues throughout the season and that has probably been the biggest factor in keeping him from reaching 300 yards passing in a game.

Speaking for myself I would prefer for the Packers to win the game regardless of how many yards Love throws for. It's a meaning less stat. Points matter regardless of how they are scored. Finally for those who claim that wins aren't important why then do we keep score at all? The NFL is a professional sport.
Plan, prepare and play to win. You can learn as much if not more from winning as you can from losing. The Packers are slightly beyond the half way mark in the season. How much longer are they considered a young team or the rookies considered rookies? They should at least be reaching the point where they stop beating themselves. Admittedly coaching is a major factor in the Packers performance so far this season but at some point the team needs to get it and start playing at a professional level of competition.

"I'm still not sure if Love is Green Bay's next franchise quarterback........."

And that is about where I sit too. I am rooting for Jordan Love and there is a lot to like about the person and a fair amount to like about the quarterback, but his accuracy issues drive me nuts. And I am not talking about his deep throws. It is his short throws that bother me the most - the checkdowns to the RBs in the flat, the WR screens, the RB screens. Those throws should be "gimmes" for a franchise QB and not only should they be completed, but they should leave the receiver facing the right way to attack the defense for YAC. All too often these throws either don't get completed or are thrown to the wrong side of the receiver so he is facing away from the defense and has to turn to run.

Love needs to get that part of his game corrected for him to be a franchise QB. The deep ball accuracy would be nice, but there are a number of NFL QBs that don't throw a great deep ball and their teams thrive. The drive killers are the short balls that fail to gain the necessary 3-5 yards to make a first down. I want him to succeed and his mid-range passing game is already good enough, but his short throws must improve for him to take the next step.

Yea, Love looked real good in the loss with the Steelers, especially if you missed the last 4 minutes of the game.

Forget 300 yards for right now. When we're only down by one score, and we get in the red zone twice in the last 4 minutes, lets see if we can't pull out a score, ya know, a game winning drive and all that.
Two red zone chances, 2 picks. Overall 1-5 in the red zone.
But yea, lets get that 300 yards.
************
As far as 300 yards.....Cory may be on to something. as obvious as it may be.

Not only do the Packers face yet another sub .500 team.
Even better, the Chargers defense is ranked 31st in the league.
But the best news is....The Chargers pass defense gives up 291 YPG.
The Chargers pass defense is last...by far!!
The game is at Lambeau.
Jordan Love gunna eat.

The table is set.

The jury on Love is still out, the rest of the season should provide the answer assuming he stays healthy. To date he reminds me of Brett Hundley both in build and talent. Both can run the offense effectively, they do not have happy feet in the pocket, can scramble, have the required arm strength but ACCURACY was the missing element in their games. If you look at the nine games Hundley started his 2nd season when Rodgers was injured the numbers are close. Let's see if unlike Hundley the accuracy gets better the rest of the season.

What irritates me is Mark Murphy's statement, "we haven't been able to get a good read on Love because of the talent surrounding him". It would have been appropriate when he said that to have Gutenkunst standing next to him at the time - the guy who is responsible for the talent level.

Cory, JL is getting there. Couple things need to happen. Accuracy first & foremost. JL has jet to hit any WR in stride and on the numbers. The pitch & catch looks clumsy at best. Over their head, knee high, behind them, ahead of the but NEVER coordinated. Some WR not running, crisp, executed precise route none of them do.
But this goes to what they do between games at practice. Apparently, not much.
O Line & WR working on techniques. Sad.

The Packers were 3-6 at this point in the season last season. It was more frustrating for me to watch that team, with our future HOF QB at the helm, than it has been to watch this group struggling to find any rhythm.

I'd like to see Jordan hit open receivers in stride and on-time, make better decisions, and be patient. This is another winnable game, but it's surely not all on his shoulders, and 300 yards passing really doesn't matter.

Yardage totals mean nothing. You can throw for 350 yards in an ugly loss, or throw for 175 in an efficient, impressive win. The measure of the QB is not in passing yardage totals, and certainly not the measure of the team.

In one of the rare cases where I'll agree with Al Davis, "Just win, baby."

If it's true that the Packers offense is throwing too many long passes, it'll be more than a little interesting to see what LaFleur comes up with this week against the Chargers as far as intermediate passes and schemes to get guys open -- including pre-snap motion, bunch formations, and crossing routes.
If LaFleur is indeed an innovator on offense, then at this halfway point in the season we should be starting to see some significant signs of it on the field with our young players coached up to know their assignments and being put in positions to flash their talents.
Even when we run the ball, how will we do it far as a variety of formations and misdirections and blocking schemes?
***
If we must keep our head coach through the rest of this season, it's time to show he's up to the job by instilling disciplined execution along with installing consistent creativity.
Will the illusion of complexity start to emerge with a satisfying measure of regularity? Will there be some wow moments like the scintillating touchdown pass against the Rams to Musgrave in the middle of the field after Love quickly faked hard left and then hard right -- a play which may stand out in loneliness in its ingenuity.
It seems in these final eight games, we can't have LaFleur merely teasing us with occasional signs of progress; we have to see a lot more of him as a play-calling wunderkind, as well as a leader of men.
I'm skeptical, but still rooting for him to pull it off.

Another article attempting to tell us how good Love is or great he might become, as long as he's given the time to grow.

That is one slow moving watch being used to time him,

Has anyone considered the possibility that his slow growth, 4th year in and counting, might be representative of his ceiling, which doesn't seem to have much more headspace

I get it, and he should get the rest of the year to get 'evaluated', but let's be a tad more honest, he's lagging far behind any of his draft class, and the ones since. The Chargers are known for their bad Defense, and keeping teams in the game, what if Love can't deliver what every other QB does to them?. Will it still be about the youth.

Letting go is hard, but too many QB's have come into the league with and since Love, and he is by far the farthest back in his play. It would be a shame to pass on more for the sake of continued evaluation of growth that regresses, or grows so slowly.

And he might just throw for 125 yards. As was said by Forrest Gump, " Like a box of chocolates, you never what your gonna get"! Best description I can think for this guy!

Often times a player has an IT factor and IT will flash as he progresses. JL may have IT, but combined with an injured OL, young receivers learning their trade, and a coaching staff that seems to be lacking on the leadership, planning, discipline, and teaching levels, JL may not show that he has IT.

Packers receivers led the league in drops last year and every loss was Rodger’s fault. This year the drops are being used as an excuse for Love’s terrible play and losses.

Maybe the poor decision making can be coached out of him, although I doubt it. But Love has never been an accurate passer, and as a result, has always been turnover prone, going back to college days. That stuff just does not change. Sorry, but he's never gonna be an elite QB. Seems kinda obvious.
