Transcript

00:00 Jordan Love has let it green bait to the postseason.

00:04 So, Robin, did the Packers make the right decision

00:06 of coming off of Aaron Rodgers?

00:08 - Absolutely.

00:09 I mean, how could you argue otherwise right now?

00:11 You look at Aaron Rodgers is making headlines

00:13 for what he's saying about Jimmy Kimmel,

00:15 not what he's doing on the football field for the Jets

00:17 after tearing his Achilles.

00:19 Meanwhile, Jordan Love had one of the better rookie seasons

00:21 or first year seasons, I should say,

00:24 that we've seen from a quarterback

00:25 with only Kurt Warner and Patrick Mahomes

00:28 matching the numbers that he put up

00:30 in his inaugural campaign.

00:32 He's gotten more confident as the season went along.

00:35 You know, he makes some off-platform throws

00:37 that are really impressive.

00:39 And obviously he's on a more team-friendly contract.

00:42 I'd be a little concerned if I'm a Cowboys fan,

00:46 the way the Packers and Love are rolling right now.

00:49 - Yeah, first of all,

00:51 I can't believe I'm agreeing with you twice,

00:52 but yes, I think they made the right decision.

00:54 Just I'll just say that at some point,

00:56 you were gonna have to see what was next.

00:57 Like Rodgers was never gonna play forever

00:59 and Love was gonna be the future at some point.

01:02 And you had to see, is he worth what we expect him to be?

01:06 And he is, he's led them to the post-season.

01:08 I think they're in a great spot

01:09 where the expectations are low

01:11 to where if they fail, nobody's like, you know,

01:15 throwing a fit.

01:15 It's just like, oh, okay,

01:16 well like the future still seems to be bright.

01:19 So for Green Bay, well done.

01:21 - Yeah, I mean, they exceeded expectations.

01:23 They're young.

01:24 And I'm not going to say he's a Hall of Famer yet.

01:27 Obviously, but how lucky are Packers fans

01:30 to go from Brett Favre to Aaron Rodgers

01:33 and to now Jordan Love, who is at least very good.

01:36 (whooshing)
