Green Bay Packers told which player they must use more than Jordan Love, ‘he can do anything with the football’

Rodney Harrison calls out Jordan Love

Speaking on a November 22 edition of “Pro Football Talk,” NFL analyst Rodney Harrison blamed Jordan Love’s new contract for the quarterback’s problems. He then recommended a de facto quiet semi-benching for the quarterback.

“I would take the ball out of Jordan Love’s hands. He’s just been a little bit irresponsible with the football.

“I would start running the ball more with Josh Jacobs, getting him the football, running the offense through him. I think Jordan Love, he’s got this big contract and it’s given him the freedom [where] he feels like he can just do anything with the football. At times he’s just very careless,” he said.

Of course, he wouldn’t be the first Green Bay Packers quarterback to be careless with the football from time to time (Brett Favre), but turnovers can doom teams.

Jordan Love ties career-worst statistic

The Packers quarterback turned heads last season, throwing for 32 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. This season, it appears all but assured he will step in the wrong direction in one key area. With the interception thrown to the Bears last week, Love is tied for the most interceptions in a season in his career.

At 16 touchdowns and 11 interceptions, he would need to avoid throwing for one more pick the entire year to avoid throwing for more than he ever has. At 7-3, the ratio hasn’t doomed the Packers, but if the team is serious about getting through the playoffs, conventional advice dictates that the turnovers need to slow to a trickle.

In his last three games, Love has thrown for one touchdown and three interception, which might be the most alarming pattern developing. Will Love get back on track or could Packers fans be left wondering if they will need to jump into their first real quarterback search in 30 years after all.
