That is how he makes his hay. I do not watch him and think, \u2018Oh, he is f****** people up.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s not the kind of milquetoast assessment you want from a quarterback on a top-five contract.<\/p>\n<p>Of the 50 total voters, Love garnered 28 second-tier votes and 22 third-tier votes. He did not receive a single first-tier vote.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Packers Prepared for Jordan Love to Be Himself<\/h2>\n<p>Sure, one coach found that Love has benefited from an offense that has willing blockers at every level, turning routine throws into potential big gains.<\/p>\n<p>But that doesn\u2019t mean he\u2019s merely a checkdown merchant, as many voters coveted him as a gunslinger that the Packers have embraced.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we played them, I was like, \u2018Man, this ball is going downfield \u2014 he don\u2019t give a s***,&#8217;\u201d another coach said. \u201cYou don\u2019t see a lot of quarterbacks play like that these days. It\u2019s almost like they build it into their offense and see the benefits of making you defend the whole field and hitting a couple in exchange for a pick or two. It was interesting playing him. I came away thinking there is something different about this kid.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s an interesting comment from the defensive coach that surely could be part of the Packers\u2019 offensive philosophy. By having a gunslinger like Love, the defense must respect his penchant for deep throws, opening up the field for the running game, which ranked fifth last season.<\/p>\n<p>Sando found that Love led the NFL with 35 completed passes of 30 or more yards downfield. However, His 7-of-11 interceptions came on throws 10 yards or further downfield.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe is like what you wish Geno Smith was,\u201d an offensive coach told Sando. \u201cHe is a little bit of a gunslinger, and at times it gets him in trouble, but he is more consistently good than bad, where Geno is more toward the middle or back of that. Jordan has the physical talent to get away with it better.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Packers Bucked Traditional WR Traits With Matthew Golden<\/h2>\n<p>The Packers traditionally have opted to find receivers who are 200-plus pounds, but bucked that trend by selecting Matthew Golden, their first first-round receiver selection in two decades.<\/p>\n<p>At 5-foot-11, 191 pounds, Golden isn\u2019t slight for the position, but he will be met with some physical challenges his rookie year.<\/p>\n<p>How much the Packers stray from their offensive philosophy with smaller receivers like Golden and Jayden Reed on the field will be intriguing to watch as a potential evolution of the offense under Love.<\/p>\n<p>Trevor Squire is a sports journalist covering the NFL and NBA for Heavy.com, with a focus on the Minnesota Vikings, Minnesota Timberwolves and Milwaukee Bucks.
