00:00 Jordan Love enters as the starting quarterback, entering year number four of his NFL career.

00:07 So Joe, you are feeling the love.

00:09 Why are you high on the Green Bay Packers this year in the NFC North?

00:13 Well, I'll do a couple of different reasons.

00:16 Number one, the minute Aaron Rodgers left, everyone stuck a fork in his team.

00:21 The public has absolutely zero faith.

00:25 And the marketplace, quite honestly, has no faith in them here.

00:29 Nobody at the very brief time that we have seen Jordan Love step on the football field.

00:35 There's, you know, there's he's not Aaron Rodgers.

00:38 But the problem was he was basking in Aaron Rodgers shadow the entire time he was there.

00:44 So it's kind of hard to live up to one of the best that's ever played the game.

00:48 Well, he's gone now.

00:49 It is a new start.

00:51 And I think he did it the right way.

00:53 Right.

00:54 I think Green Bay went old school here, Ben.

00:56 And they said, we're going to draft this kid.

00:58 We have no intention of starting him.

01:00 We're going to let him sit here like they did with Aaron Rodgers and Brett Favre.

01:04 We're going to let him sit here and learn the damn game.

01:06 He's young enough.

01:08 And that's exactly what they did.

01:09 And I think more teams should take a page out of that book here.

01:13 And I think you are going to see the results of them taking that path with Jordan Love

01:18 this year.

01:19 I think they're going to be very good on offense, but even better, they're going to be even

01:23 better on defense that nobody is talking about.

01:26 be one of the best defenses in the division that nobody is talking about.
