Jordan Love Week 5 vs the Rams 2024 Analysis

[@HistoryStillThrives]

That first bomb to Reed went 60+ air yards. I was swearing at my TV until Reed snagged it. Thought for sure INT.

[@JimeLello]

It was insane dude really is a combo of Farve and Rodgers it's crazy

[@dc6953]

@@JimeLello People doubted him, but I guess GB knew he was a hard worker. The work ethic contributes most in a QB, imho (irrespective of physical ability). That in addition to Rodger's QB coach, arm talent, and running ability, dude is a machine.

@@dc6953the dude is insanely physically gifted but it all comes together with that insane work ethic you mentioned

[@kurtwicklund8901]

Why then does a 5th year QB with an insane work ethic still have such bad footwork. That goes to fundamentals.

[@austinthomas7170]

@@kurtwicklund8901 footwork in practice and in a live game are two completely different things. You can’t count all those years on bench as true years to polish his footwork for playing in live games. When things are going so fast in a live game it’s easy to revert to old bad habits. If this is still a consistent weekly issue next year I might start to get a little concerned.

[@waurbenyeger]

All I have to say is remember the name Kraft. Dude has been crushing it from day one and only gets better every time he steps on the field.

[@hashwasnthere235]

He is everything you want in a tight end and more

[@ThatsNotVeryFunnyLol]

I'm a Packers fan so take this with a grain of salt but I will forever live with some of his chaotic throws such as the one to Jayden Reed in this game, and the other insane throws like the one to Romeo Doubs last season against the Chiefs where it was 4th and 1 and he just chucked that shit up for an insane completion. It's just exciting and more often than not, it is what it is. It's more enjoyable to me to watch these types of games than it was to watch Aaron Rodgers towards the tail end of his tenure. I just started getting so used to what would happen and started losing faith in certain scenarios. But with Jordan Love, it's exciting, he keeps you on your toes, you always feel like they're in the game no matter what happens. I love it.

[@scorpionz44]

I agree, especially when our defense is reliable enough to make turnovers, i'll take the brette favre stuff anyday

[@bradleysample3246]

The pass to Romeo was designed that way . He was supposed to be there

Conversely I can do without Favre II.

[@noaha883]

kinda feels like the same time last year when jordan love wasn’t hitting those rhythm throws. hopefully we get that down soon bc once we reach that, packers offense will come back to high powered offense that they were last season

[@taegancollotzi5595]

Also how the receivers are just a little bit too deep or slow coming out of routes but they will get better

[@mattwalter6697]

Agreed. A lot of the same pieces from last year but still the youngest team in the league. They’ll get better

[@TheBigDean18]

Doesn’t help that he barely played in the preseason, then got injured. He played better in the 2nd half of the game tho. Honestly I’m liking his mechanics right now compared to last year. His throwing motion seems to have loosened a little bit, almost Favre like when he brings the ball back. I’m excited for the rest of this year.

[@kurtwicklund8901]

Big deal.

[@noneyourbidness7926]

[@johndoe09876]

4:25.everyone else on the field by the line of scrimmage stopping to watch 😂

[@ThatsNotVeryFunnyLol]

Another thing that I find funny is how Jordan Love missed two games due to injury (obviously) if you double his stats (completions and attempts) he would be top 3 in yardage due to his yards per attempt. Still thrown the 4th most TD's (8) as well, yet all we can think about is "Damn, if only they could get on the same page, make simple throws, not have drops." It's scary to think about how much better the offense can still be even with all these issues and injuries.

[@berry.juice3]

It was the rams my man. You haven't beaten a good team yet.

[@amcfluff1547]

⁠​⁠@@berry.juice3 What he said has nothing to do with beating the Rams or not. Beating teams is a team accomplishment. The comment is about Jordan loves stats this year despite missing two games. But to entertain your point they’ve proven they can beat good football teams last year Kansas City for example. Also he threw near 400 yards and 4 tds against the Vikings who are looked at as the top defensive team. What are you on about?

[@mrboost101]

Please make one of Patrick if you can. He has seemingly improved a lot this week and without his top 2 WRs I would like to see where this offense may potentially go.

[@CoachJayScott]

I think the pass pro at 8:20 was Q8. So the HB has to block EMOL from looking around a few playbooks. Love should have just thrown into the dirt, as the TE is right there.

[@kirbygangtaco]

thank you

[@srmarketto]

Seems like Love gets a little hoppy on his dropbacks sometimes, wonder if it affects accuracy a bit.

[@kurtwicklund8901]

All the time, and yes it does.

[@greenmajik6920]

1:00 - Rams player did kind of shove Love which may have impacted the accuracy

[@tcsmith3094]

That through to wicks wasn’t bad. It was a drop. Went through both hands and no the defender didn’t touch it

So what we see is we have some very nice concepts and the potential to be a very nice offense, the O-line is just trash right now.

[@austinthomas7170]

Thanks for this! Content is always great. We can all see he has insane talent, but do you see any big differences from the last 10 games of last year compared to the start of this year that could explain the accuracy issues? Is it mainly just his footwork & technique?

[@kurtwicklund8901]

Exactly. Last year his footwork started off D- but got to B+ by that Dallas game. This season he has been D-, D-, and D+ in three games.

[@austinthomas7170]

@@kurtwicklund8901 at least we have seen proof he can fix it before. Hopefully after this year going into next he can carry over from the prior year instead of having to fix it during season every single year. He’s still young and we knew he was a big time project drafting him, so I’m not too concerned yet. He will get it cleaned up.

[@kurtwicklund8901]

Austin, you assume it is inevitable Love will clear up his bad footwork i do not. He has not learned it yet and he is in his fifth NFL season. Also, this year the leagie has fim of Love. Dude might finish the year as #4 QB in the NFCN.

[@alect1953]

I actually appreciate the breakdown of that interception, having to hear so many people freak out on love and the packers for what happened, yes it shouldnt have happened but thats not what normally happens when you get hit in the endzone. 7 point int or 2 plus a rams drive that could lead to 9.

[@jaysonblake4865]

In Jordan’s short career so far he’s a gamer. He gets better as the game goes along. Makes a huge mistake with the pick six, then basically plays near perfect after that.

[@JakeWilsonMMA]

The thing I wanna see him is atleast make the right decisions in the clutch That’s the part that worries me , against the Steelers last year Falcons last year Niners last year Those drives where Rodgers would get it done time after time That what I wanna see him improve at

[@bradleysample3246]

The last pass to Wicks, Wicks looks like he misjudged and slowed then jumped up

[@Ru_9920]

Wicks does a lot of the little things right, he is still quite the talent. Once he starts securing those catches he is going to be a special player and an amazing compliment to Reed. TBH the WRs GB has are so nice

[@natejeppsen3958]

That's what I thought. If he doesn't try to come back to the ball it is a bit short but it hits him right in his hands and the the DB can only tackle Wicks. Its easy to say that if Jordan had layed it out there its an easy TD but that assumes Wicks stays in his route and plays the ball. I think Wicks is overthinking stuff right now and just needs to relax. He also needs to clean up the bubbles on his out route breaks.

[@derekprell1836]

All cheeseheads love KRAFT

[@zeke5989]

If I'm being honest, injury or not, Love should be playing better than this. He is still doing that double bounce thing at the top of his drop too. He will never be able to throw in rhythm consistently doing that. You'd think Clements would have that stuff cleaned up by now.

[@kurtwicklund8901]

OMG thank you. The bunny hop is there for all too see but most fans think the bunny hops and back foot throws indicate excelence.

[@anthonybeoh5614]

Dude we still can't get Jared Goff week 4

[@DanielFolsom]

As impressive as the Goff game was from a "that's a feat" perspective ... I'm not sure it'd make a great breakdown, especially in a week where we're going to get fewer videos b/c JT didn't have his computer till Wednesday. Goff had a couple amazing throws-the spin throw definitely pops-but for the most part ... he threw really short passes. I think his average air yards per attempt was 4 point something, which isn't crazy low ... except when you realize that he had 0 incompletions (and incompletions usually count as a "0" for that stat). So he undoubtedly made the right decisions and got the ball to the right guys in space-and look, even if EVERY throw was at the line of scrimmage (and they weren't!), it'd still be impressive to complete 18 in a row. But in terms of a breakdown ... "here's another pretty short pass that the receivers going to run away with" ... might get a little old. Not saying JT won't do it, but I'd understand if he passes.

[@kurtwicklund8901]

I get the sense JT is biting his tongue here. Love has shown terrible footwork in his three games. But there is the injury and the embarrassing field in Brazil. Does this account for Love regressing to early '23 form? I think JT is going to lower the boom on Love is his footwork flaws persist another game or two.

[@DanielFolsom]

I think-and I'm no expert-JT has commented before that Love seems to have Rodgers-style footwork, and JT isn't a huge fan of that footwork even though he likes the rhythm of it. Haven't seen that many JL videos before (I saw the playoffs one from last year), so it's not like I've done a deep dive.

[@kurtwicklund8901]

Love and Rodgers both can throw off the back foot but that is the only similarity in footwork. Rodgers did if he had to. Love throws off his back foot when there is no reason to do so.
