Jordan Love has been handed the keys to the Titletown kingdom, and all he has to do is make the Packers’ faithful forget about Aaron Rodgers.
It is difficult enough playing quarterback in the NFL, but following a legend has proven to be a mountain few can climb, a burden most cannot bear.
The Jordan Love Era will begin Sunday on the road against the Bears, of all teams. Rodgers was 25-5 against the Packers’ blood rivals and reminded the Soldier Field crowd that “I still own you” in 2021.Aaron Rodgers was traded to the Jets this offseason.The symmetry is eye-opening: Rodgers, a Packers late-first-round draft pick, waited three years behind Favre before getting his chance. Love, a Packers late-first-round draft pick, waited three years behind Rodgers.
“You never really know until the live bullets start going,” Rodgers told Serby Says, “but I think he’s got a similar trajectory that I had. … I just think he’s got the disposition, obviously he has the talent and the ability, but he’s gotta go out and prove it, and gain his confidence, and make some mistakes, learn from ’em, make some big plays to keep bumping up that confidence. But I believe in the person as much as I believe in the situation and the people around him.
He had better be made of the right stuff, and he had better be the mentally toughest dude in the room, or he will have no chance.Jets safety Adrian Amos was in Green Bay when the Packers made Love a franchise-quaking 26th-overall pick out of Utah State in 2020. “I realize you could go crazy trying to measure yourself to Peyton Manning every day,” Luck said. “That would be an insane way to live. I know his legendary status, really. He was my hero growing up. Huge shoes to try and fill if you’re trying to do that. I’ll just put my best foot forward and work hard every day. If one day I can be mentioned alongside Peyton as one of the football greats, that would be a football dream come true.
Cam Newton referenced the elephant in the room when Bill Belichick summoned him to replace Tom Brady on the Patriots.
