Yah, that doesn’t make sense. I’d Love looks good enough next year you just franchise tag him and sign him to an extension of sorts. His Packers future can be locked in past next year.
Also, the writer could have probably found a better INT that wasn’t Love’s fault. Watson running a route slightly angled wrong takes little to no blame off Love for throwing a pick. He has eyeballs, he didn’t use them. Now if the WR ran the wrong route and suddenly stops when he should have kept going…yah, that ain’t on Love. He probably has had on of those this year.
Love does just fine being one of the worst QBs in the league without assistance. The guy doesn’t do anything to deserve us to feel bad for him and start pointing the finger elsewhere. When he gets good blocking, wide open receivers, or help from the run game he still finds away to suck more than do anything useful. The only thing I feel for him on, that the writer did point out in his article, is the team around him makes it really hard to get into a rhythm and sustain some drives. The rest of the offense can’t afford a missed block or drop because Love is good for a bad pass 1/3 passes. Love can’t afford to make a bad pass because 1/3 times the offense will blow a block or drop the ball. Everyone sucks and no one is good enough to help elevate the offense. Healthy Jones maybe…but clearly he isn’t healthy.
