Chicago Bears: Every NFC North rival’s most overrated player
By Ryan Heckman
Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love is overrated by most fans
If you scour social media for Packers fans, you’ll find plenty of Jordan Love hype. Love has a tough job ahead of him, as he looks to take the reins from Packers legend Aaron Rodgers, who took the reins from another Packers legend in Brett Favre.
The pressure on Love is enormous, but Packers fans are becoming as delirious as any fan base across this league today. Sadly, it’s not just the Packers’ fan base. The players, themselves, are drinking the Kool-Aid. If you ask second-year wideout Romeo Doubs, Love can do the “same exact thing” as Rodgers.

We’re talking about a guy who has one career start, zero career wins and has only thrown 83 regular season passes since being drafted three years ago.
Does everyone realize how silly this sounds by Doubs? If you’re most Packers fans on social media, you’d agree with the wide receiver. Any throw made by Love during this offseason and put up on social media has been glorified as if it’s one of Rodgers’ last-second Hail Mary miracles, even those that are simple, routine passes that any NFL quarterback should be able to make.
It is safe to say that Green Bay fans need to settle down and allow this thing to play out, because chances are, Love isn’t as great as they believe he is. He was a reckless quarterback in college, and has made similar style throws so far during OTAs. Let’s calm down, shall we?
