I didn’t hear the actual interview, so could be out of context. But this doesn’t sound very promising, or like they have much confidence in Love.

They have a very small sample size to go off of. By mid season we will know if he's a bust or not.

As of right now he reminds me of Carson Wentz. Makes a perfect throw and on the next down it goes in the dirt. He has shown promise but we need to see if he can do it at a consistent level.

I do expect the Packers to pick up the 5th year on Jordan Love though.

But yes, I hope that’s the case. I just don’t like the “brutal honesty” in this statement. I feel like he could’ve evaded the question without potentially offending Love.

YES, AND BY THEN ITS TOO LATE.

I am really surprised there is not more discussion/conjecture on this point. We just traded a HOF QB because the staff, the front office, and most important Nerdmann are all in on Love.

Do the Packers really want to lose negotiating leverage by not picking up the option? How stupid would they feel if he had a great year and they had not either re-negotiated or taken the option.

If we can't sign the guy to an extension NOW, I am taking the option if I am Gutey.

Go Packers!!!!

The huge “risk” they took by getting rid of Rodgers is definitely worth 20 million to see what we’ve got in Love. 20 million seems like a lot, but it’s not when you look at what other QB’s are making.

The only way I see it making sense is if they’re working on an extension right now that is more cap friendly. That’s what I am assuming is happening.

Gutey's supposed to stand up in public and loudly proclaim they should give him the biggest contract ever.

THEN start negotiating.

What if Love doesn't have a good year? Can the blame be on him 100 percent? Rodgers didn't have too much success in our offense last season. The packers have been trending down the last few seasons.

packerfanoutwest (21-Dec) : Coach Matt LaFleur has said quarterback Jordan Love is playing the best football of his career.

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Right now it looks like the only prime worthy games are Det-Minny and KC-Denver (if Denver can clinch a wild card spot)

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : The entirety of week 18 being listed as flex is weird

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Apparently, the editing is what pieces comments together. That Ted thing ... fake news.

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : LaFleur "opportunity that Ted Thompson thought was too good to pass up"

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Jordan Love pick was Ted Thompson's idea.

Mucky Tundra (19-Dec) : Kyle Shanahan on signing De'Vondre Campbell as a FA last offseason: “We obviously made a mistake.”

Mucky Tundra (18-Dec) : a lower case b

Mucky Tundra (18-Dec) : The real lie is how beast capitalized his name in his message while it's normally spelled with

packerfanoutwest (18-Dec) : haha that's a lie

beast (17-Dec) : Despite what lies other might tell, Beast didn't hate the Winter Warnings, it felt refreshing to Beast for some reason.

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : whiteout uniforms in general are pretty lame and weak. NFL greed at it's worst

Martha Careful (17-Dec) : The Viking uniforms, the whiteout uniforms specifically absolutely suck

beast (17-Dec) : Thanks Zero2Cool, looks a lot better now

beast (17-Dec) : Seems like someone has a crush on me, can't stop talking about me

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : Should be gooder now. The forum default theme went to goofy land.

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : What the hell

packerfanoutwest (17-Dec) : yeah beast hates the Winter Warning Unies

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Okay I'm glad to know it's not just something happening to me lol

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Zero, did you copy the Packers uniforms from last night and white out the board?

beast (16-Dec) : Oh crap, is the board going to the Winter Warning Uniforms too?!? It's all white on white right now!

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : WR Odell Beckham Jr is officially a free agent after clearing waivers.

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : Packers are 6th in sacks.
