spilltray Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 To add/clarify: The question of accuracy is a distinction between us he putting the ball in the spot he wants to (I believe yes he is) vs is he accurately predicting where that spot should be (where I think the issue is). Problem one is a more serious issue because it's more talent. Problem 2 can easily get better with time and communication. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLcheesehead12 Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Also anyone knocking Love about accuracy should watch Anthony Richardson. Saw him sky a ball 5 feet over a wide open Pittman's head just a bit ago. Way worse than Love Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragnar Danneskjold Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Can someone with access to the all 22 comment on the back end of the defensive scheme that the Lions were using to start the game? Watching the TV feed made me think they locked up the receivers and Love didn’t have anywhere to go with the ball. I view the Detroit game as not very informative about Love. The OL was losing a lot of its matchups, and the receivers may not have been winning early on as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was expecting to see a guy who could complete atleast 60% of his passes and doesn't miss wide open WRs by a mile every single game. We have to pay this guy soon, does he play like a guy worth 45+ million a year? We could be staring down a potential nightmare scenario here real soon. Isn't he under contract next year for cheap too? Plenty of time to evaluate. Not that we should pass up a shot at a top QB if we have one but it's early. I DESPISED the Love pick but he hasn't shown enough either way for anyone to truthfully be confident for their side, and like others have said, it's been four games. He's got plenty of issues, but he's also showed a lot of resilience in 3/4 games and had many impressive throws as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mdpackfan22 Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 At the risk of sounding like MacReady, maybe it wouldn't be the worst thing if Love doesn't set the league on fire his 1st year and we sign him to a long term contract around 30m/yr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difference is that Love is an above average athlete for the position, while Richardson is the best athlete of all time at the position.

sgtcheezwiz Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Hope he can put a complete game together, LV is a really good candidate to do that against. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NFLGURU Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 (edited) Richardson doesn't have 3 training camps under his belt. Edited October 2, 2023 by NFLGURU 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where Richardson is just inaccurate. Both can drop absolute seeds but I don't see Love having the WTF misses Richardson does.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Love is antagonizingly close to being really good. Work to be done! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Love is antagonizingly close to being really good. Work to be done! I like this take. I also think it goes in tandem with a much more complex offense (in relation to the Colts) where receivers possibly are on slightly different pages given experience and continuity. Ron Wolfe always said draft offense because they grow together - that kind of thing. It's the difference between someone slightly curling their post off instead of taking it more straight upfield a lot of times.

Yet he has a higher completion rating than Love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
