Reed is part Steve Smith, part Tyler Lockett, part Randall Cobb. All before he's had one rep in a real game. Clifford is "legit" and Love should be worried if he continues to play like he did last week. So maybe he will end the pre-season with 3 TD's and 6 INT's? Or 4 TD's and 8 INT's?? It is an entertaining bunch that we have here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the way Reed attacks the football. Quick and shifty. He'll be better than Cobb if he can stay healthy. Clifford has good mobility, a very quick release, and from what I saw a live arm. Pumped on both picks. Promising young rooks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen anything yet that tells me he can even play in the league. Also? Nothing to tell me that he cannot. Clifford doesn't totally suck. But you realize he could have easily had another interception or two, right? About his best quality that I like right now is moxy. Stones.

About his best quality that I like right now is moxy. Stones. Reed is wicked. After the Amari fiasco they got it right this time. He is everything that kid wasn't. Was Clifford's first live action. Just a rook mistakes are to be expected. Not concerned about the picks at this stage. He's got the qualities you like in a QB. Live arm, quick release, mobile, and accurate with the football. Only one game but I really liked what I saw. Kid has ability. We'll see Vegas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NFLGURU Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 This Packer passing game is very young and inexperienced. There are going to be a lot of bad throws, drops, bad routes, misreads, bad timing. I'll be looking for flashes this year, but expect a lot of inconsistencies. Things change when the insurance agents get cut and NFL starters line up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easily the most exciting/positive looking QB's we've had in the backup role in a long time. Including Love prior to last year. But...it could also be because we've seen a lot of pre-season games by UDFA's at the QB position. I will agree with you, though. Live arm. Quick release. Accuracy. I saw all of that too. It could be that it looked so good because we are used to seeing garbage back there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He always understood what a QB needed from a receiver, especially when a play broke down. So you’re assuming he’s more savvy right? I mean, unless the coaches said so or your at practice every day watching how would anyone know one way or another? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to know we’re in good hands with future HOFers down on the depth chart, tho. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PossibleCabbage Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Clifford is an unusually polished passer for a rookie, in large part since he's been Penn State's quarterback since 1997. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a top level OT and a contending team has a big hole at OT. Teams do this kind of dumb stuff all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polished....good word. This was the first time I'd ever seen the guy and the word I came up with was composed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Guy Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 (edited) Apparently MLF texted Dan Orlovsky and told him Jordan Love is going to be great and that Orlovsky would love him. MLF has been pretty reserved in comments about J-Love, so that is newsworthy to me. Edited August 17, 2023 by Old Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MFL has been pretty reserved in comments about J-Love, so that is newsworthy to me. He texted me the same thing. He also added he thinks he will be better then Rodgers. I hope Orlovsky was telling the truth. That's pretty cool if MLF did. I don't trust ESPN analysts on stories like that. It's exciting to see what will happen this year, good or bad. We have been a veteran group for quite awhile, so youth movement is something different. I will miss the Rodgers era at the same time.
