I think Love looked like shit until this year...
Rodgers looked like shit too until that Cowboys game breakout appearance or maybe that preseason before it.
Packers consistently getting 13 win seasons and Love didn't look ready, I don't think that chickening out but trying to win...
Of course, we fans complain when they don't try to win, and we also find a way to complain when they do... complaining, it's Americans (or maybe all humans) favorite pastime!
