Insulting? Think that's an overstatement.
Love lost 6 of his first 9 games last season. His overall regular season record since joining the NFL is an Eli Manning-esque 9-9-0. And some of those losses in 2023 were against the likes of an ATL team led by the hapless Desmond Ridder, LVR sporting one of the worst secondaries of this century, DEN
, and a QB-less PIT.
I wouldn't pay Love more than 3 years/$100 million for 8 good games out of 27, especially when considering his complete lack of production in his first 10 games prior to last season. Basically, if you pay him top-10 $$$ you're doing it solely because his TD/INT ratio is great, and his Passer Rating last season was 96.1.
The problem for GB is that they really should be trying to avoid shitting their pants the way DAL and WAS did with Dak and Cousins. Mostly they need to avoid the Dak scenario of way overpaying a QB for a partial good season and screwing their cap for the next 5 years.
