![]() After three years as the understudy to Aaron Rodgers (12), Jordan Love (10) is set to take over as the Green Bay Packers' starting quarterback in 2023. That’s not to say they predicted stardom for Romo and Brady before it happened rather that they experienced something akin to what the Packers are going through, knowing what to look for as they groom Love to replace Rodgers in 2023. Haley and Weis, currently analysts for SiriusXM NFL radio, have been in situations where they knew: Haley with Tony Romo and the Dallas Cowboys, and Weis with Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. “I think the Packers are high on Jordan Love higher than I would be, but I don’t know.” “Why would they be OK with Aaron leaving if they didn’t have some confidence in who they have behind him?” Weis added. For all those analysts that try to act like they know, they’re all full of s-.” Or as fellow former coach Charlie Weis said: “The only guys that really know are the guys there. “We’re not in there, so we don’t see what he does with his time, how he prepares, what his notes are like, how he practices and how he works out.” “Only if you’re there every day watching a kid does it become clear to you that somebody is making the jump to being a real player,” former NFL coach Todd Haley said. ![]() The Green Bay Packers believe that 2020 first-rounder Jordan Love is ready to take over as the starting quarterback - replacing Aaron Rodgers, who is expected to leave Green Bay - given general manager Brian Gutekunst’s proclamation that after three years as a backup, Love is “absolutely” ready.Īt this point, after Love has started one game (and saw meaningful backup snaps in two others) in his three NFL seasons as Rodgers’ backup, that’s the most concrete information anyone on the outside can go on.
