The packers are currently 3-6, and now people are talking about quarterback Aaron Rodgers being benched. One of Rodgers’ former teammates, Greg Jennings, said that Green Bay may give Jordan Love more opportunities. Jennings was asked on “The Carton Show,” if the Packers should consider benching Rodgers.
Jennings stated, “Of course, Sooner rather than later. Look at their schedule. In the next three games, you’ve got the Cowboys coming in this week, you’ve got the Titans coming in a few days later, and then you’ve got to go to Philly to face the Eagles. I believe, if they lose two out of these three games, which they could lose all three, it’s done. You’ve got to see what Jordan Love can do. You’ve got to give him an opportunity.”
Another former Packer, Hall of Fame safety LeRoy Butler stated that the Packers should sit Rodgers in favor of Love if the team loses their next three games. Saying that, “After that point, if you’ve lost those games, you’ve got to get Jordan Love in there at some point, because there’s no playoffs, I mean, there’s no playoffs, you’re not in the playoffs. You have to find out at some point can Jordan Love play because you can’t get rid of Aaron Rodgers because of his contract. But you can find a way to get Jordan Love some work to just kind of find out what you’re going to have in a few years.”
Rodgers this season has completed 64.7% of his passes for 2,091 yards. 14 touchdowns and seven interceptions so far. Back in the 2020 NFL Draft Love was chosen as the number 26 overall pick and has only seen eight games and started in just one. If the Packers make their way out of the playoff race, they may want to see what the backup is capable of.
