It would be a bit rash to jump to an immediate conclusion about Love's long-term prospects based on a single start. But it is worth at least taking a look at how his debut compared to that of previous quarterbacks.
His Here's a look at the quarterbacks with a better debut than Love. That certainly isn't bad, but there isn't much of a history of QB success for quarterbacks with a first start rating below 80 in Green Bay's history. Only Tobin Rote, who made his first start on Sept. He had a rating of Few QBs even went on to have a full season's worth of starts after having a worse debut than Love. Only Randy Wright, David Whitehurst and Carlos Brown started more than 16 games, and none finished their career with more touchdowns than interceptions.
However, Favre, Rodgers, Starr and Majkowski were also the only quarterbacks with a better debut to start long-term for Green Bay, and three of them are, or will be, Pro Football Hall of Famers. So this is, of course, not to say that Love can't be a long-term starter for the Packers.
It was only his first start. Had Rodgers been vaccinated, he would have been able to return to the facility once he had two negative COVID tests back-to-back with at least 24 hours between the first and second negative test. However, because Rodgers is not vaccinated, he has to quarantine for at least a day period. Ten days from his placement would be next Saturday, November That would get him back to the team the day before they play the Seattle Seahawks in Week He could theoretically play, but he would be doing so having had no practice with the team outside of the Saturday walkthrough session.
The Packers controversially selected the former Utah State QB by trading up in the first round of the draft. With plenty of immediate needs on the Packers — including a desperate need for a No. No NFL fan could dismiss the fact that the pick felt exactly the same as a selection 15 years earlier when the team took a signal-caller No.
On the one hand, he has a great matchup defensively. The much-maligned Chiefs defense comes into Week 9 ranked 29th in yards allowed and 28th in points allowed. Rodgers said he spent time in the offseason researching the vaccines and the virus and met with medical professionals before deciding not to get vaccinated.
They wanted to out and shame and denigrate every single person who didn't immediately say, 'Oh I got the Pfizer, I got the Moderna' , whatever. I wanted it to go away. Everyone on the squad knew I was not vaccinated, everyone in the organization knew I wasn't vaccinated. I wasn't hiding it from anybody.
I was trying to minimize and mitigate this conversation that would go on and on. NFL Media reported this week that Rodgers received homeopathic treatment from his personal doctor to raise his antibody levels and asked the NFLPA to review his status. The players' union, the NFL-NFLPA jointly designated infectious disease consultant and the league agreed that Rodgers' treatment did not provide any documented protection from the coronavirus. Accordingly, Rodgers did not qualify for an exemption, and he remained subject to a variety of restrictions, including daily testing, mask-wearing and high-risk close-contact protocol that would force him to isolate for five days based on interaction with a positive individual, even if he tested negative.
Rodgers also railed against the league's protocols for unvaccinated players, saying multiple times that he believes they aren't scientifically backed. He specifically took issue with masking rules for unvaccinated players when speaking to the media or on the sideline when inactive. Rodgers has not worn a mask during media interviews this year, a matter the NFL is reviewing.
Hawk if there has been communication with the league or Packers on his not wearing a mask during media availability. The great [Martin Luther King Jr. In my opinion, it makes no sense for me. I test every single day. Every single day.
