Matt LaFleur on Jordan Love at OTAs: A lot of good things, a lot to clean up

Jordan Love‘s preparation for his first season as the Packers’ starting quarterback moved into a new stage with the start of organized team activities this week.

Love has seen plenty of action in previous OTAs because Aaron Rodgers was not in attendance, but this is the first time he’s piloting an offense that’s going to be tailored to his abilities. On Tuesday, head coach Matt LaFleur gave an update on how Love is doing in the early part of this period of the offseason program and he indicated that it has been a mixed bag.

“A lot of good things and a lot to clean up,” LaFleur said, via Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com.

The Packers are also relatively inexperienced at wide receiver and LaFleur added that “we’ve got to see what everybody else around him can do” as they move toward a season that will look very different on offense.

  1. He’s been in the league for a few years now. He’s not just going to magically be able to “clean things up”. He is what he is, and that is a mixed bag. 7-10 is probably the ceiling for Green Bay this year.

  2. It’s truly humbling to watch the Packers work towards developing the next big NFL superstar. Nobody does it better.

  3. I’m sure it’s exciting for MLF to have a QB who will actually listen to him.

  4. The number of Viking Fan posts on anything related to Jordan Love is in direct proportion to the worry they feel Green Bay may have found another one.

  5. I love reading all the Pack fans claiming they have their next HOF QB, while every thing we see and hear tells us otherwise.

  6. This will be love’s 4th year on the team.
    Fluff about basic things is telling.
    The Packer know what they have at this point at this point yet to not know which parts of the playbook are best suited to Love’s skill at this point is shocking to anyone not wearing cheese on their head

    What do you expect, 62 years of embarrassing futility has to take an agonizing toll on any fan base.
    It’s twisted them into bitter children, angrily lashing out, craving attention.
    Any attention, even if it results in a negative response.
    Pity.

    Their team hasn’t been in the Super Bowl, or really even relevant since the days of disco.
    Star Wars wasn’t even released yet. 🤣
    They are, in fact, the NFL’s equivalency to disco.

    You know, I’d almost feel sorry for them if their entire fan base wasn’t so asinine. 🤔

  8. I keep hearing the lament about “packers fans claiming they have the next HOF QB cued up.” I’m a huge fan. I’ve never said or thought anything of the sort. I also see a lot of NFL and Packer commentary and frankly hear a lot more fans complaining that he’s going to be a bust. I’ve not read even ONE fan say, yup, Love will be HOF. Of course, such a statement is the height of stupidity. However, it’s not stupid to be optimistic or hopeful, is it? He looked like he took a jump last year. He looked like a viable NFL QB for a quarter versus Philly, and no, their defense was not in a prevent. What I’ve said is I don’t know. You don’t know, nobody knows if he’s any good or not. But the choice isn’t HOF or bust. What if he’s as good as Kirk Cousins or Jared Goff? What if he’s average, or just better than average? Those too could happen. HOF talk from Packer fans is NOT a thing….fear, hope, doubt and curiosity, yeah, we have lots of that.

  9. At least LaFleur didn’t brag about his command of the huddle. And as near as I can tell, counting my post there are 4 of 11 potential Viking fan posts on this article saying basically not to expect a HOF QB performance (rather than an overwhelming onslaught of Viking fandom angst). But hey, if the 7 or so cheesers above who, like me, comment on anything NFCN related take offense, have at it I guess.

  10. The whole NFC North could have new QBs in two or three years. Cousins has about run his course in Minnesota. Goff was never the long term answer in Detroit, Fields still hasn’t shown me anything other then he is fast and Love could be a Bust.

    I expect Love to struggle the first year. The pass catchers have about 88 receptions between them total and he wasn’t the most polished prospect coming out. The franchise didn’t exactly give us all the confidence when they didn’t give him the 5th year option.

    If you’re being completely honest, and I suspect you’re not, then this has to be the very first Packers/Jordan Love post you’ve ever perused through. 🙄

    You dolt. If it’s shocking to you (pretty sure you don’t identify as a cheesehead) then you are “shocked” by the incompetence. Meaning you believe the packers are competent…..troll better.

    Thanks guys, brilliant contribution!!

    Maybe you can chime in next time your fellow Viking fan mentions Cousins and Super Bowl in the same sentence?

    someone sounds upset. In fact a lot of packers in here do. there there. I wish I could tell you it will get better with love. btw if you want to see the difference between viking trolls and packer trolls, both Minnesota and green bay added end of the roster WRs yesterday on a flyer. Both have a story in here. go look at each story’s comment to see. difference.
