The Green Bay Packers are 2/2 for making the playoffs with Jordan Love under center. That being said, Green Bay was significantly outplayed by multiple championship contenders this season, suggesting they’re a few pieces away from taking that next step.
However, general manager Brian Gutekunst had something to say about the future of Love in Green Bay.
Packers’ GM Brian Gutekunst Makes Statement About Jordan Love’s “Future” In Green Bay (Report)
Fans frequently criticize general manager Brian Gutekunst. It was not a popular decision at the time to trade Aaron Rodgers to the New York Jets. However, Love’s development has Gutekunst excited:
Brian Gutekunst on Jordan Love: “I think we’re very, very excited about his growth.”
During his debut season as the Green Bay Packers’ starting quarterback, Jordan Love raised expectations to sky-high levels.
However, year two wasn’t the same:
Love went from a 64.2 percent completion rate in 2023 to 63.1 percent in 2024. He threw 11 interceptions again even while throwing 157 fewer passes. His passer rating inched up from 96.1 to 96.7.
There’s no disputing that Love needs to play better for the Packers to take the steps necessary to win the Super Bowl.
That wasn’t on the forefront of coach Matt LaFleur’s mind, though, when asked about the next step for Love entering 2025.
“I think the next step is just to continue to evolve as a vocal leader,” LaFleur said during his season-ending news conference on Tuesday. “I think that just kind of comes with the position naturally. I think he’s taken steps to get there but I think he can really demand a lot because the locker room respects him and they respect him not only as a person but by the work he puts in.”
Here is a full breakdown of his stats in 2024:
