Is Jordan Love the quarterback Green Bay Packers fans have been hoping for? Aaron Rodgers thinks so! With Rodgers singing his praises, it seems the young quarterback might just be the answer. While featuring on ‘The Pat McAfee Show’ former Packers’ Super Bowl champ showered Love with praises and compliments, amidst doubt and surveillance.

Rodgers, a four-time NFL MVP himself with a stellar 23-5 record against the Chicago Bears, knows a thing or two about dominating the Monsters of the Midway on the field. After watching Love’s impressive skills against the Bears, the star QB couldn’t help but commend the young talent.

It is not uncommon to witness one sports entity complimenting another. However, when this applause comes from Aaron Rodgers, the impact is sure to be lasting. Something similar might have been Jordan Love’s experience when the currently injured Rodgers lauded the QB for his exemplary show in front of Pat McAfee.

“That’s what I saw in the preseason was he [Jordan Love] just looked very confident…,” Rodgers remarked. He even reached out to Love via text message after the game to congratulate him on maintaining the Packers’ stronghold over the Bears. During a conversation on the show, the Jets’ quarterback delved into the importance of ball security from a QB’s point of view.

Many believe Love’s journey with the Packers has been a learning experience, especially with the brunt of scrutiny he has been under after he replaced Aaron Rodgers. Love has exceeded many people’s expectations, as noted by Ty Schmit, co-host of ‘The Pat McAfee Show’ and a die-hard Packers fan. Schmit asked Rodgers if Love’s success brought him a sense of pride and accomplishment.

In response, Rodgers heaped praise on Love, saying, “He’s always had a good head on his shoulders.” He highlighted Love’s confidence, which was evident during the preseason, and continued to shine. “I sent him a message (after the Bears game)…with the congratulations on keeping the ownership in place,” reiterated the 4× NFL MVP.

The 39-year-old Aaron Rodgers acknowledged that the Green Bay quarterbacks have a knack for making Chicago’s fans miserable, and he’s delighted to see Love continuing this legacy.

Did Aaron Rodgers truly own the Chicago Bears?

Former Green Bay Packers star Aaron Rodgers’ history against the Chicago Bears suggests he might have had a valid argument when it comes to his stance on Packers’ QB against the Bears. Last season, while still with the Packers, Rodgers led his team to a remarkable seven consecutive victories over the Bears.

His career record of 24 wins and just 5 losses against the Bears, as reported by Statmuse, certainly supports his bold assertion. As a matter of fact, the star QB’s dominance over the Bears began in 2008 when he took over as the starting quarterback for the Packers.

Among the victories, one game stands out vividly: a 24-14 win on October 17. But it wasn’t just the score. During the game, he famously declared, “I own you. I still own you,” leaving no doubt about his feelings towards the Bears.

Despite his success, it’s noteworthy that Rodgers also faced some of the most significant injuries of his career during these intense clashes with the Bears. Nevertheless, the last time the Bears managed to beat the Packers was back in 2018 at Soldier Field, serving as a testament to Rodgers’ enduring influence over this storied rivalry.
