When the Green Bay Packers drafted Jordan Love in the 1st round of the 2020 NFL Draft, many people were shocked. Aaron Rodgers was still there and playing well. There was no need for the Packers to draft another quarterback in the first round.

Moreover, drafting Love damaged the relationship between the Packers and Rodgers. Aaron Rodgers wasn’t aware that the Packers would be drafting another quarterback in the 1st round. Since then, there have been many rumors regarding Rodgers’ wanting out of Green Bay.
Nick Adams, who is one of the favorite authors of former President Donald Trump, gave his take on the quarterback situation in Green Bay. Back in February of this year, Nick Adams tweeted and said, “Jordan Love is the worst draft pick in NFL history. Why would anyone try to replace Aaron Rodgers?!”

Adams, who isn’t often appreciated for his takes on Twitter, might have a valid point this time around. Jordan Love is definitely not the worst draft pick in NFL history, but drafting him made no sense. If Rodgers had been on an expiring contract or was playing poorly, then it might have been a good decision. However, that wasn’t the case.
Jordan Love struggles to find a starting spot in Green Bay because of Aaron Rodgers
Dethroning Aaron Rodgers from the QB1 role for the Green Bay Packers was always going to be nearly impossible for Jordan Love. He was brought in if Rodgers sought an exit from the team via trade. However, that doesn’t look like happening any time soon.

With the back-to-back MVP signing a new contract extension, it’s unlikely that Love will start for the Packers. It won’t be wise for him to wait so long to get his opportunity, as Rodgers is playing great.
Maybe another team would like to pick him up, but so far he hasn’t impressed much with his opportunities. Due to it, the market for him is close to none. The Packers and Jordan Love need to come up on a decision pretty soon, or his career will get wasted.
