Campbell presser was amusing. He seems pretty chill about this one. "eh we didn't have it. poo poo happens."

This is where I'm at, having not actually watched the game (took the kid out for the afternoon). Ravens posters in this sub have been running a years-long psy-op to convince people that their team is garbage, when they've made the playoffs four of the last five years. They're a good team, and good teams lose to other good teams all the time. Feels like a karmic rebalance for getting the Chiefs down a key starter on both sides of the ball.


This however sucks rear end when you're trying to project an aura of being the most physical smash-mouth team in the league. Hopefully he didn't hurt anything on that.

It's not even something unique to this year, going back to 2019 the LaFleur teams have frequently looked terrible coming off rest. Losses to the 49ers after a bye, losses to the 49ers in the playoffs off byes, losses to the Buccaneers coming off a regular season bye and rest, Week 1 losses vs the Saints and Vikings where the team just looked lifeless...

This is where Green Bay's weak schedule actually helps here, they have it as a tiebreaker against every single other team in the top 10 right now, Chicago aside: https://www.tankathon.com/nfl

In either case the team is going to start Love for 11 more games so we'll at least have a reasonable guess on what he really is by the end of the season.

... why? This would be one of the worst decisions they can make right now. This team isn't making the playoffs, you have to see if Love is the guy or not. Maybe these 6 games are just growing pains, you don't and won't really know until the end of the season. I'm leaning fairly strongly towards "not the guy" but this isn't a Jets situation.

If he's not then stick with him for 11 more weeks and be really absolutely 100% sure he's not, because if that's the case, then he's guiding us towards getting a QB in the top 10. That's a far better outcome than benching him for some dehydrated veteran QB and sailing to a 6-9-1 record and not being able to draft anyone while also not really knowing if Love's the real deal or not.

Rodgers went 6-10 his first year starting. Give the kid this season and next to see if he has a bounce back like Rodgers did. Benching him now would be pointless.

If he gets injured and Sean lights it up, then go hog wild and hope for a Purdy scenario, but they picked this dude and extended him, they at least have to give him a season to play out when there's zero expectations.

yeah, there is no reason not to start Love the rest of the year,

If he continues to play poorly then you get an answer, or he figures it out and you have some maybe false hope to look forward to.

Like unless you think your backup is like an actual prospect(it's almost like the Packers should have sat Rodgers and started Love for the back half of last year) you start your QB who is inexperienced as poo poo in actual real live games.

Rodgers wasn't outright dogshit that year though. Love ain't winning 6 games.

I look forward to the top 10 pick then.

There is no veteran QB available on the market who will take this non-playoff team to the playoffs. If there were, the Jets would've already snapped them up.

Then why try to win more by bringing in a veteran? This isn't a year that the team is expected to compete.

Like I could see the argument for getting a veteran QB if you're focused on getting the receivers and Musgrave to develop and you don't think Love will be good enough to offer them enough of an opportunity to do that, but I don't think that's quite the problem with the offense right now.

If anything Love is giving them TOO many chances to prove themselves with all these jump balls and (underthrown) deep balls.
