    Kirk is far and away the best qb in the division at the moment. Sucks that he got hurt, he’s just about the most likeable player in the division that isn’t on the Bears. “He’s a nice Viking.”

    Love hasn’t looked good, but better overall the past couple games. The scary thing is he’s probably hindered by his supporting cast, and the Packers will probably be good again if he gets decent weapons. He flashes skill at times, but he does have a terrible deep ball. Decent game manager.

    Fields either plays better than Kirk or worse than Love. No in between.

    Jokes aside, he’s very talented and has a great knack for big plays, but he has struggled to prove that he can handle standing in the pocket and making a read, especially down the middle of the field. Love the guy but his time’s running out. IMO, he would be “the guy” if we didn’t have the Panthers’ pick.

    Jared Goff.

      Cant say I agree with the Love part. I think the being hindered by support cast only counts for a few drops

      Either their WR´s or their coaching is underrated as hell, because there always seems to be someone massively open. And Love does a good job finding him

      Also their oline is still very good… whenever I lurk their gametime thread and they are ranting that their oline stinks, I realize QB isnt the only position they are spoiled as hell with

      I´d say he has an above average supporting cast at minimum. Its just a lot of New or unknown names, but that will probably change soon

        they had (and still have) people running the wrong routes. MLF’s scheme is complex and his first year took around this time this season for it to click with everyone

        As others have said, our run defense has been poor for several years, and many fans will blame that on the o-line, which is probably somewhat warranted.

        There were stretches earlier this year that the o-line looked suspect; such as the center blocking the guard instead of anyone on defense, but those issues have been cleaned up over the past few games.

      Regarding Love’s deep ball, from what I’ve seen in JTs qb school analysis, Love mainly just has some poor footwork and waits too long on many of his throws. I expect that stuff to be much more polished next season after this offense as a whole has had more time to gel together. Plus they’ve been playing with a shitload of dead cap and the injury bug following Jones, Watson, and the team as a whole. Otherwise, I definitely agree with your analysis.
