I am an owner of the Packers and we let the football people handle the football and we just cheer when they win.

[@entropy889]

It's a thing of beauty! I am a proud owner as well. I thank God I was born into a Packer fan family.

[@dylandylan5526]

Seeing Colin’s 180 from when he was dumping on Love needs to be studied

[@matthewkennard1166]

Only in the beginning, he gave a time limit to see if he has it and by the end of that time he proved himself last year

[@mattr27]

It's called adjusting your opinion when new information presents itself. You should learn to do the same.

[@CalixtoErico]

It also matches his 180 with Purdy.

[@philiptan5814]

he's only consistent with bad QBs cue his love for sam darnold... dude prayed for 5 years until it happened

[@SorenKvamme]

He also thought Matt Lafleuer was a bad hire.

[@12packersfan]

It’s true that the Packers don’t have a real owner but you have to give credit to team President Mark Murphy too. He could easily meddle with decisions if he really wanted to but has been hands off since day 1.

[@lolnocody]

He announced his retirement at half time and will be vacating in july. Big shoes to fill...

Only the NFL could have a team that plays in the 3rd largest city in Wisconsin be a marquee franchise for the league and a consistent ratings draw.

[@Erik_Ice_Fang]

I actually looked that up a few years ago. Combine the NFL, NBA, NHL, and MLB; every team except 1 team was in one of the 89 largest cities in the country. Except Green Bay which came in at the 189th largest city in the country

Facts

[@1_underthesun]

Doesn't hurt that Green Bay IS football as well. There is only football there. No distractions for players, no clubs, no partying....only football. Because of that, it doesn't attract divas who seem to care more about being seen outside of the sport than anything else. You'll never see a Packer shoot himself in the leg at a club. Stuff like that matters.

[@Carl-d9p]

There clubs, bars, casinos.

[@Erik_Ice_Fang]

GB is big enough to have distractions, just not enough to rival a major metro area.

[@essernobles1053]

This is why the Green Bay Packers are the real, America's team. Slow down now Stafford has always been a good quarterback, going to the Rams with McVeigh was the final hurdle. And there was at least one saints player that wanted to be there and that was Saunders. Saunders is a packer in a saints uniform.

[@sigonellapc2]

Saunders was excellent last night - a lone shining star on New Orleans roster

[@entropy889]

Normally don't listen to Cowherd from past experiences, but the points you made about owners is 110% true. Bad orgs stay bad largely because of the owner.

[@rwwilson21]

And the GB Packers have an owner. LOOK IT UP

[@nicholasperkins2630]

The Green Bay Packers are a well-run organization. They know how to draft and when to move on from certain players. Thirty-seven playoff appearances are remarkable. Thank you, Green Bay! Go Pack Go.

[@ElCheesehead]

Most playoff appearances all time 🔥

[@Dbeastlygamer95]

And what a coincidence the Packers CEO had his retirement ceremony last night and most people prob have never seen him and Mark still talked less than Da Bears President on any given Monday in front of the podium.

[@slickdeezynation8331]

Colin...this is your best take of the year, hands down!!!!!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🏈🏉🏈🏉🏈🏉

[@kevstervegas]

GO PACK GO, Defense is coming along! The depth at receiver and running back, an O line that has played together for most of the season. Love is cutting down on the gunslinger mentality. LaFleur coaching schemes and a front office that doesn’t seem to miss on picks. But more importantly, PACKERS develop players and this team is young and getting on a good roll for January.

[@1_underthesun]

I "almost" worry he's reigned it in too much....choosing not to throw to a wide open Watson for a walk in TD yesterday was head scratching. I mean, we scored anyway, but he was looking right at Watson while there wasn't a defender within 10 yards of him. He needs to find a good balance

[@raymondgoel4055]

@@1_underthesun I thought the same thing as I was watching it.. But watch his post game presser, he explained what happened and it's not as bad as it looked.

[@1_MrFantasy]

The one area not having an owner has hurt is when the QBs get to big for the team and there isn't a billionaire to check their egos. Other than that you finally figured it out.

[@WandererJester]

Oh look Cowherd changing his tune about Packers Ownership, the second Rodgers leaves. How typical.

[@SaltyPatriot12]

Matt is a stellar coach & we know it!! As an owner we’re very proud of Love, the team & the entire organization!!

[@petermccrea2421]

TOTALLY AGREE! Ideally, all teams should be owned by the town and fans, like Green Bay.

Great job by you colin

[@titodalporto1527]

Carr is the REAL thing. A true NFL QB. He has all the tools with the current roster. All our 1st string players are injured. Carr makes them all work out. They thrive with Carr, cause he knows how to make them look good. Not to mention they have confidence in his professional leadership! Mend and heal up in the offseason. Then with Physical endurance training and muscle and ligament strengthening, they won't be prone to injuries like when they come up to the manhandling teams like the Eagles next year. Strength and endurance is the answer for the Saints. Do that and we'll go all the way!

[@scotttomatz6861]

Green Bay is about 40 years older than Dallas so they should have more playoff appearances.

[@Ernoburger]

Unfortunately, the problem with being a fan of most NFL teams is that you have to essentially be a fan of the owner and their decisions. Regional pride doesn't come into it. It's a product put out by an owner. That's why it's refreshing to have Green Bay where it really is still about a regional fan concept and it's not just about one particular owner's management or mismanagement. More NFL teams should go public like that.

[@GoldenGoesCrypto]

Seeing Colin own his change of opinion and accept the bad take, is one of the best things about Colin. He’s a great. And as a packers fan, love that he gets it now.

[@Brandon-c7v1m]

"Jordan Love is nothing more than a backup" - Colin 1 year ago

[@MatthewOutman]

Colin Cowherd should have his name in dictionary next to "monday morning qb"

[@stubby1122]

Don't anoint Love as the new Favre/Rodgers. LaFluer is doing all he can to minimize Love's throws over the last 5 games because of his inaccuracy and willingness to throw into a crowd of defenders. That's why Jacobs is getting so many reps they don't trust Love. He pre-snap determines who he is going to throw to regardless of whether they are open or not. He seems to dislike going thru his progressions and throwing to the open man. He has lazy feet unwilling to align his feet with where he's throwing the ball which causes most of his inaccuracy.

[@grsafran]

He can make some really good throws but you're right he can be very inaccurate. He is a system quarterback who would probably be just average anywhere else.

[@Kainteeka]

Yeah he had the hot and cold season and ended their season with an ego throw...and got paid for it. Rodgers had at least won and proved he was the guy (super bowl and year before losing 51-45 to the facemask seen around the world cept by the refs) in overtime. Love's proven he's mid level at best and capable of throwing amazing touchdowns or bonehead interceptions equally....if not even slightly towards the interceptions.

[@Iceberg-zl3sc]

That might be the case but I still rather have the Pack being run orientated first since its more sustainable. Rodgers and no run game has only lead to 1 ring.

[@JnH5492]

Green Bay is also in the top 5 places to lives in America pretty much every year…..

[@jayvang33]

Colin “Two things can be true” Cowherd. Love isn’t their future QB but Love is also a star QB.

[@nicolasortiz3329]

This is the same dude ripping the Packers a new one on drafting Love, and the Packers aren't a contending team. Love sucks.....huh? Stop the 🧢

[@Labby17]

Right 😂

[@novey1024]

Can confirm. As an owner I gotta say it's the easiest job. I just sit back and watch my team and let the smart football people do smart things. I don't understand how some owners can't figure this out * cough * mckaskey * cough *

[@falcongilbertgrape1329]

You run a football team. You don’t play. You do what ever you can for sustaining success. Go Pack Go.

[@sputnikalgrim]

This has been the year of the free agent running back. Top 3 signings top 3 backs in the league, each team is a contender. How did Vegas let Jacobs walk, I don’t know but I’m glad they did

[@Erik_Ice_Fang]

None of those three teams that lost an RB made the playoffs last year. All 3 that gained were already competing. Derrick, Saquon, and Josh all went to a better situation with 3 teams determined to run

[@dbailey3544]

"The Packers are Tennessee with a better QB". There's no way this said that 😆😆

[@reeee-turn]

I think he was referring to LaFleur's time as OC in Tennessee with Henry.

[@akbarshabazz-jenkins7847]

Even some fellow Packer fans are trying to criticize Love's performance lol the guy was letting the running backs eat. If he was a stat padder like Burrow and Allen he, too, would be an MVP candidate.

[@LifeByJeff]

"Vessel".... He's now saying Love is a "System" QB because the HC is run heavy and doesn't put pressure on the QB to throw 30-40 times a game. Colin is such a hypocrite 😂 Purdy is a "System" QB - don't pay him - Love is a "Vessel" QB - give him the bag and reserve his HOF spot..

[@NiallMeeks]

Purdy sucks though. He can't do what Love does.

[@tjayd1225]

It’s easy to say Colin adjusted his take w new information but after like 5 games he called Jordan a backup quarterback. There’s adjusting and then there’s just being way to reactionary early on in a process. Saying he just reacted to new information is a cop out

[@Gary-l6o]

I can count more stars that came out of GreenBay, then any other team, the system works.

[@marvinshenk]

It's the Saints. Me and a couple of my 50 year old buddies could bet the Saints right now.

[@akbarshabazz-jenkins7847]

From a Packers fan, Aaron Rodgers was never the biggest star in the league. After Brady, Mahomes took over that mantle. He might've been the most talked about for a period of time, but for all the wrong reasons.

[@gatzke7955]

Loves one of the best in the league. They could’ve had him throw it way more, but the run game was too good to pass up. Why even throw it with your superstar qb when the run game is doing so well. He got a nice game to sit back and enjoy a win. We need him to go off against Minnesota though. Go Pack Go 🧀

[@akbarshabazz-jenkins7847]

The most lopsided game of the year was the Lions vs the Jaguars lol the Jags had their starters and still got demolished. The Lions pit up 645 yards to Jacksonville's 180 and beat them by 46 points.

[@Bigpapidamian]

Jordan love is good but i aint ready to call him great

[@Robot50000]

I sometimes struggle to say he's good. I feel like Malik Willis would have the same record if he was the starter. Packers just run the ball like crazy and don't rely on the QB a ton like they used to

[@RASTAGOOB]

Yep! Doesn’t matter how great your employees are, if ownership and front offices are not on the same page, no good!

[@mattr27]

Teams with bad owners typically have bad quarterbacks, so yes. That's why teams like the Bears, Browns and Jets are always twirling around in obscurity.

[@keithpauley3627]

Look at it like race car the mechanics we need work on the frame and brakes before we put on the track. The owner of the car has an ego and is usually a businessman. Wants a return on investment will put pressure on mechanics get it the car out there. The Packers the mechanics decide when the cars ready no pressure. Bad organizations ruin there cars when they could be great. Baker Mayfield great example.

[@ososexxy9764]

There's a reason the nfl has successful offenses by running the ball first than the league had suffessful offendes with the greatest team on turf. It was that 1 team that was really successful.

My concern about Love is at least Rodgers won a super bowl before being paid. Love had a up and down season ending their playoff run with an ego throw....and got paid. I think Love falls into the good not great but got paid like he's great club.

Are we just going to ignore the fact that the packers have only beaten 3 teams over 500 in the Injury depleted Rams earlier in the year, the Seahawks without Geno for a half and the Texans. They beat the Saints and their backup which is worse than Tommy Devito, I’m getting 2020 Pittsburgh Steelers vibes.

[@Erik_Ice_Fang]

The record against winning teams is a fair point. GB is dominating lesser teams though. 30+ points for 5 weeks straight makes you competitive with anyone. Not enough to win a championship by itself (looking at the 2011 Packers here), but enough that they have a chance against any team

[@ecast9061]

@ We will see how they do against a fully healthy Rams, I do think they could maybe beat the commanders but that’s about it. There is a real chance as well that they are under .500 in their division by the end of the year as well.

[@sunnyraez]

They lost by 5 to Eagles where Love got hurt and a td removed for a flimsy reason, Jordan came back from injury and lost by 2 points against the Viking and the Lions beat them by 3 where another td was erased for a flimsy OPI call against Watson. The only solid loss was 24-14 Lions where Love was still hurt but keep doubting them

[@ecast9061]

@ o you mean where he got hurt on the 2nd to last play of the game where the game was already decided? Just forgot about that until just now.

[@hemantjain6679]

​@ecast9061 you look at some of their losses and if they have the kicker they have now they likely have two more wins. The Packers had a missed field goal in that Eagles game which would have made it two pt game and not 5 changing the need for a Td vs a field goal which they could have gotten in range for. Vikings game they had two missed field goals and lost by 2.
