With the NFL season around the corner, there are already quarterback rankings for each division. Many Green Bay Packers fans are wondering where quarterback Jordan Love is ranked among the NFC North quarterbacks.
The days of Aaron Rodgers as the Green Bay Packers quarterback are long gone. So how does Jordan Love fair with the other NFC North quarterbacks?
Where Jordan Love Ranks Among NFC North Quarterbacks
1. Kirk Cousins (Minnesota Vikings)
The Minnesota Vikings won the NFC North a season ago. Kirk Cousins has always put up great numbers year in and year out, but he just hasn’t won the big game. Last season, he threw for 4,547 yards, 29 touchdowns, and 14 interceptions. Cousins also completed 65.9% of his passes throughout the season.
2. Jared Goff (Detroit Lions)
The Detroit Lions took a massive leap last season after a horrendous start. They finished the season 9-8 and took down the Green Bay Packers twice. However, Detroit took this leap because of Jared Goff. He completed 65.1% of his passes for 4,438 yards, 29 touchdowns, and seven interceptions. Goff has been to the playoffs before and will be one of the main reasons the Detroit Lions make it to the playoffs this season. That’s why he sits second in our NFC North quarterback rankings.
3. Justin Fields (Chicago Bears)
The Chicago Bears lost 10 consecutive games last season, but it wasn’t because of Justin Fields. The defense was horrendous. Fields was not always great, but he showed signs of potential, getting it done with his arm and legs.
He also now has a solid wide receiver in D.J. Moore, and the offensive line is improved. Fields completed 60.4% of his passes for 2,242 yards passing on 17 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. He also rushed for 1,143 yards on 160 carries and eight touchdowns in his second season in the NFC North.
4. Jordan Love (Green Bay Packers)
The Green Bay Packers better hope that Love is ready to ball this season. He did appear in a couple of games last season when Rodgers was injured and looked much better than he did in the past. Love completed 66.0% of his passes for 195 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions.
This was a very small sample size, but this looks promising for him to have a breakout season. Love can develop chemistry with Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs. It will be interesting to see if Jordan Love can play well and improve his ranking among the NFL North quarterbacks.
