[QUOTE="Voyageur, post: 1072155, member: 17953"] When Love became our starter, it appeared he was going to be one of those QBs you'd have to live with having INTs. Kind of like Favre. In Favre's case, the good outweighed the bad mistakes because he did win games with his arm, but he also may have played us out of a couple of playoffs with some extremely ill-timed throws that ended in INTs and cost us a shot at winning games. Then, Love cleaned up the INTs in year two. He looked like maybe with a little seasoning he'd get past the dumb mistakes like eating the ball after getting out of the pocket and ending up being sacked on 3rd down, moving us out of FG range. Year 3 rolls around and he's upped the ante on "dumb mistakes" and not seeing his receivers downfield. Part of it isn't on him, part of it is. Our offensive line has not been that stellar pass protection bunch we became accustomed to, but the one thing that is on Love is that he seems to be getting panicky and throwing ill-advised passes, or waiting too long to get out of harm's way and ending up getting sacked because he is in the pocket and can't throw the ball away. The difference between an elite QB and a good one is pretty simple. Both can make the expected passes, and both will make plays once in a while. But to be elite, you need to be able to reach inside yourself and make decisions on plays that most QBs can't because they just don't see what you do. Rodgers was pure genius at it for a few years, even without decent pass protection at times, but you knew that being down 6 with 2 minutes to go and a couple of time outs and an 80-yard field ahead of you, the guy could guide his team that distance to win it at the end. To be frank, if Love doesn't start to show that quality this year, not all the time but often enough to make his team believers, he'll never be an elite QB and the Packers should start to look for that diamond in the rough that sometimes emerges in drafts at a later round. You know the type. A Tom Brady type QB that people have overlooked. [/QUOTE]
