Any time you get a little nervous about the Green Bay Packers' QB situation, it's nice to look around the division and remind yourself that, actually, it can get worse.
The Detroit Lions have somehow managed to turn Jared Goff into a star, but we'll see how that looks without Ben Johnson this year. The Minnesota Vikings are tying their entire hopes of a deep playoff run to a rookie QB who wasn't particularly prolific in college, and the Chicago Bears are the Chicago Bears; Caleb Williams didn't exactly look like a generational prospect in Year 1.

So with that all in mind, I'd argue that right now, the Packers have the best QB situation in the division. Still, it's hard to avoid those dark, spooky corners of Packers Twitter that are starting to panic about Jordan Love's ceiling.
Injuries aside, Love took something of a step back last season, which probably explains why Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated decided to dip his toes into that panic a little bit in his latest roundup of Big Questions before training camp.
Albert Breer sounds a little bit skeptical on the Jordan Love era in Green Bay
"It's Jordan Love time. Only one offensive player on the roster (two-time Pro Bowl guard Elgton Jenkins), and three players in total, predate the quarterback's time with the team," writes Breer. "He's on a top-of-market deal, so the onus is on him to start lifting his teammates rather than the other way around. The roster's still solid, but competitions at left tackle and receiver will help set the course for how far the team can go, and Love's work through any bumps at those spots will be key."
I don't blame Breer – or anyone else, for that matter – for looking at Love's contract and expecting a little more in 2025. It's a perfectly fair ask, considering what his yearly salary looks like.
But a ton of Love's stats last season still ranked somewhere between 8-10 across the league, so it's not like there's some huge problem on the Packers' hands. Every halfway-decent QB gets huge money these days, and Love is far above halfway-decent.
If anything, I blame Toyota for this. They could make so much more money if they doubled (tripled?!) the length of Toyotathon. Don't they want to make money?
