The NFL season is getting closer and closer, and the mystery that is the Green Bay Packers offense is soon to be revealed. Jordan Love will take over as the starting quarterback after the Packers dealt Aaron Rodgers to the New York Jets. For the first time in 15 years, Aaron Rodgers will not be the starting quarterback for the Green Bay Packers, and nobody really knows what to expect. However, FanDuel went ahead and ranked NFL quarterbacks into tiers, and Jordan Love was ranked in their lowest group.

Green Bay Packers Quarterback Position
As it stands right now, the Green Bay Packers have Jordan Love, Sean Clifford and Danny Etling. Obviously, Jordan Love will be the starter heading into the season and there are plenty of unknowns. In the past, Green Bay has known exactly what they have at the position, and for the last 30 years, it has been hall of fame level play. FanDuel has Jordan Love ranked in the same tier as Bryce Young, CJ Stroud, Anthony Richardson, Sam Howell, Desmond Ridder, Coly McCoy and Baker Mayfield.
Is Jordan Love’s Ranking Fair?
Obviously, Jordan Love has not seen much playing time since being drafted, but he was a first-round pick. Bryce Young, CJ Stroud and Anthony Richardson have yet to play a snap in an NFL game, yet they are in the same tier as Love.
Jordan Love has at least shown flashes that the others have not. Jordan Love deserves to be at least a tier up or there needs to be a separate tier for unproven quarterbacks. The tier 5 quarterbacks on the list are Russell Wilson, Ryan Tannehill, Mac Jones, Kenny Pickett, Brock Purdy and Jimmy Garoppolo. Love might already be in the same tier as some of those guys, but FanDuel seems to disagree.
FanDuel clearly does not think very highly of Jordan Love and it shows in their NFC North betting odds. They currently give the Packers +350 odds, the third best, to win the NFC North. Despite having many All-Pro and Pro Bowl players, the Green Bay Packers and Jordan Love are not given much of a chance.
