As it is a day that ends in Y, there is yet another online discourse about Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love and where he ranks among his peers in the NFL. The latest bit of debate even forced teammate Micah Parsons to chime in and defend his starting quarterback from the doubters.
As part of the NFL's annual Top 100 rankings, Love was ranked as the No. 72 overall player in the league. This marks his lowest ranking in the last three years. This prompted a wave of online debate that Parsons could not help but get swept up in. Luckily for Packers fans, Parsons provided about as full-throated a defense of No, 10 as possible, which is exactly what he should do.
Parsons took to social media to declare that there is no way one could argue that 71 players in the NFL are better than Love. Considering that the player who came immediately in front of Love in the rankings is Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers, Parsons' point may have been validated almost instantly.
71 players in the NFL aren’t better than Jordan love!

Packers' Micah Parsons defends Jordan Love after NFL Top 100 ranking
Love's status within the NFL seems to be flatlining, as his statistical accomplishments aren't enough to overcome the fact that Green Bay came up short in the postseason once again.
However, Love had perhaps his most efficient season despite injuries all over his wide receiver room and some major uncertainty up front on the offensive line. In Love's third season as a starter, he completed 66 percent of his passes while throwing 23 touchdown passes against just six interceptions. Love also led the Packers to a 9-5-1 record in games he started.
Even with those struggles late last year and his warts as a player, the only reason this declining roster that faces the proposition of playing a big chunk of the year without Parsons has any shot at contending for a championship is Love's fit with Matt LaFleur's play-calling. The next step for Love, who is still entering just his fourth year as a starter, is elevating middling talent around him in the playoffs.
In much the same way Packers fans do when combating Love slander, Parsons has now taken up arms against those players who believe this ultra-consistent performer is not even worthy of a Top 70 slot in their rankings.
