Dan Orlovsky on Jordan Love's OTA Struggles: He Doesn't Look Like a Very Good Pick
Aaron Rodgers is not at Green Bay Packers minicamp and does not currently have any plans on showing up, even if James Jones thinks things can be fixed. That means that the Jordan Love era in Green Bay has begun whether anyone wants to believe it or not. In Love's first practice as QB1 started about as well as his first training camp as QB2 a year ago. Reports out of camp were not good.
Jordan Love struggled with accuracy during team work today. The arm strength is there, but missed a handful of makeable throws. Period ends with Blake Bortles finding Isaac Nauta deep down the left sideline for a TD.

Notes from Minicamp practice No. 1
— Rob Demovsky (@RobDemovsky) June 8, 2021
* Jordan Love struggled with accuracy. 12-23 passing in team, including failed 2-minute drill.
* Davante Adams was present but did very little.
* Devin Funchess looks the part.
* Jaire Alexander with a big PBU (what else is new).
Demovsky went on Get Up this morning to relay Love's struggles to Mike Greenberg and it alarmed Dan Orlovsky. While some people might think that what happens in June doesn't matter, Orlovsky points out this is when quarterbacks are supposed to look good with no defenses or pads and everyone jogging. Orlovsky went as far to say that Jordan Love "doesn't look like a very good pick."
.@danorlovsky7 is alarmed by what he's hearing about Jordan Love's progression.

If there's a silver lining, it's that Love has looked better in day two.
Jordan Love having a much better day than yesterday. He gets Kingsley Keke to jump with his hard count, then took a shot in double coverage to Allen Lazard. Dropped a perfect deep ball to Lazard between Adrian Amos and Darnell Savage Jr, converting the free play. Sound familiar?

Still, if he doesn't get this figured out during camp and Aaron Rodgers can't work things out with the team, Green Bay Packers fans are going to have to suffer through a season without a Pro Bowl-caliber quarterback and that is just not fair to anyone.
