The Green Bay Packers are more than comfortable with Jordan Love as their franchise quarterback. They have extended him and believe he can lead them to a Super Bowl title. While that is the belief inside the building, that same sentiment isn't felt around the league.
ESPN's Jeremy Fowler released an article in which he surveyed league executives, coaches, and scouts to rank the top 10 quarterbacks in the NFL. Love wasn't listed in the top 10 and was an honorable mention instead.
"I don't think he gets enough credit for playing the position consistently well, and he has got the athletic traits to match it," an NFC scout said.
While this scout believes that Love isn't getting enough recognition, the overwhelming majority doesn't think Love is a top-10 quarterback. And what makes this worse is that Detroit's Jared Goff and Chicago's Caleb Williams were ranked 9th and 10th, respectively.
Jordan Love's latest NFL ranking will frustrate Packers fans
Love has everything that you want in a quarterback. He has the size, arm strength, and mobility that teams want in their signal-caller. And the production has also followed. Last season, in 15 games, Love completed 66 percent of his passes for 3,381 passing yards, 23 passing touchdowns, and six interceptions.
He led them to a 9-5-1 record during that time and continued to elevate his play when it mattered the most. In the wild-card loss to the Chicago Bears, Love tossed for 323 passing yards, four passing touchdowns, and zero picks.
As time has gone on during Love's career, he has only looked more comfortable out there. And one NFL veteran coach called out where Love has taken steps.
"Control of the offense, protection and route adjustments, he has really grown in those areas."
It can't make Packers fans feel great to see that Williams is already getting more credit than Love after just two years in the NFL. Especially since his numbers weren't much better.
Williams completed 57 percent of his throws for 3,942 passing yards, 27 passing touchdowns, and seven interceptions. While he had some "wow" moments, he was very inconsistent at times, and that included a 20.2 percent off-target rate.
As for Goff, the argument is harder, as he completed 68 percent of his passes for 4,564 passing yards and 34 passing touchdowns. There's more of an argument to be made for Goff, but at the end of the day, Love has displayed enough to be ranked within the top 10.
While he missed two games, Love was productive in his outings. Despite being a plus starter for three straight years, the 27-year-old still isn't getting the credit he deserves. Most league executives, coaches, and scouts don't think he's a top-10 quarterback, and that should give him a chip on his shoulder in 2026 to prove everyone wrong.
