Jordan Love vs Blake Bortles

Looks like Bortles is on his way here.

Blake Bortles on the way to Green Bay

The Packers appear to have found Jordan Love's backup quarterback for Sunday: Blake Bortles.

So who'll be your choice for next game (hopefully not 2)?

I'm leaning towards Love. Time to give him a tryout. I don't believe Blake will be a big difference given this late of a call.

 

[GleefulGary]

Is this a real question?

 

[longtimefan]

Is bortles on the team?

 

[Mondio]

If Bortles has been signed he probably doesn’t last longer than the week as a Packer. We have a single QB on the roster available to play and seeing as how 2 players from that group are out there’s more than a slight chance he could end up testing positive too leaving us with zero qbs for this game.

 

[Schultz]

We are really going to be glad they signed Randall Cobb if that happens.

Jordan Love makes way more sense, for a few reasons.

1. He's been with the Packers a lot longer than Bortles, he won't need to get up to speed at all. And presumably, Love has a rapport with wide receivers from practice.

2. We drafted Love to be our future QB. Now we have a chance to find out if he's the guy. We won't know for sure from just 1 or 2 games, but we might see some indicators one way or the other.

3. We know who Bortles is. He isn't our future. He's a guy who would probably be a serviceable backup, but obviously, he's not carrying any team to the Super Bowl.

 

[ARPackFan]

Is this a real question?

All part of the Packers master plan for the season to keep their future QB well rested, safe from injury, and his mind uncluttered by learning the playbook. I also heard the Packers told him to put on a few pounds so he has an insulating layer of body fat in preparation for December/January games at Lambeau.

News reports say we called Bortles in midst of a golf game and asked him to report here.

 

[Firethorn1001]

I'm leaning towards Love.

Better lean more.

I don't see how this is even a question barring Love not being available.

 

[Pugger]

This makes sense. Bortles was in town this summer so he knows MFL's offense better than any other FA QB out there. With AR and the kid on the PS in COVID protocols there was no way we'd go into a game without a back up to Love. Yes, Cobb is probably our emergency QB but when the last time he threw a pass in an NFL game? I doubt Bortles will be around once AR returns.

You're kidding, right? Bortles doesn't even know the offense. He's being brought in strictly to be Love's backup this week.

Cobb has thrown only four passes in his career, completing only one of them to Brett Hundley in the last game of the 2017 season. I definitely prefer Bortles being brought in as the backup but there's absolutely no doubt Love is going to start.

 

[realitybytez]

all together now. all we need is love.

Bortles is familiar having been here in camp.

Also this shouldn’t even be a question let alone a thread for the question. Love would have to get Covid not to start

I usually stop paying attention to threads when they get off track. However, I am fully in favor of this thread getting off track.

Anybody still fishing? I'm heading up tonight to get a last fishing trip in for some eyes.

Who's been out hunting so far? I talked to a guy at the polling place on Tuesday who had seen a few does while out bow hunting but was holding out to fill his buck tag.

forgot about Cobb. He is left handed too.

If true, Bortles will be the backup and only play if Love gets hurt. The only other option is Cobb.

 

[PackAttack12]

There's not a chance in hell that a healthy Jordan Love doesn't start this game. None.

Got me a couple coyotes last weekend. Got $65 for one pelt and $75 for the other.

 

[El Guapo]

What state do they pay for coyote pelts?

My parents were not campers. The first time that I went out with a few buddies around 18yrs old, we were up in the mountains and the coyotes started howling as we were going to bed. They were moving around so the four of us were convinced that they had us surrounded. We were frantically looking around to see what we could use to defend ourselves. Then one of the guys from the other tent yelled out "Go to sleep you sissys. They're more scared of us than you are of them."

These days all that I ever hear are the wolf howls, which I enjoy much more. Maybe 15yrs ago, my wife and I invited a couple to our cabin for a winter trip. We only owned one snowmobile so my wife hopped on and towed all of the gear across the lake. We did the 5 mile walk. When we got to the cabin, we were a bit tired due to the snow depth. We collapsed onto the couches. Mrs El Guapo started telling us all of the things that she had done and then looked out the window. Whatever she said got us all to stand up and look. A pack of 5-6 wolves was following our tracks through the snow. They got to the dock and then stop. The lead wolf looked up at us, would sniff the track, look at us, scent, stare, scent, stare....then they decided to keep walking the shoreline. I've met a few in the woods. They always just seem more curious than anything. We usually stare at each other for a while and then continue on as we were. Fun stuff in the woods

only wolf in the wild I've ever seen was from my car. A solitary one near Necedah, WI Driving to LaX one early morning in December. I have often had kids loudly proclaim, "there's a wolf!" when out and bout with my dog(s) however. Not sure that counts though.

I sell them to Hoosier Trap Supply in Greenwood, IN. There's a guy there named Chuck who pays well for undamaged trapped pelts and decently for pelts taken by rifle. I try to ship at least 4 or 5 at a time packed in dry ice. So far I've sold him 22 of them this year but I haven't had much time for it. The great thing about selling coyote pelts is nearly everywhere they are unrestricted for hunting all year round. But you can only trap them during regular trapping season. A few years ago when I had a lot more time I sold him about $4000 worth of coyote pelts on the year. I harvested at least one almost every weekend that year.

Although he did take the Jags to an AFC championship game. But of course the answer is Love.

Good one.
Am I the only one that got that???????

Shhhh Cobb and the Packers had a trick play to use, now you went ahead and spoiled it.
