Nobody expects Jordan Love to immediately supplant Aaron Rodgers as the Green Bay Packers' starting quarterback, and it could be multiple seasons before the Utah State star bears any tangible fruit for the team.
The MMQB's Albert Breer wrote Wednesday that Love might have been pushed into the starting role earlier with another franchise but that the Packers can afford to be more gradual with his development:
"If you were, say, the Dolphins or Chargers, it was probably unrealistic to think that Love wouldn't be your starter by, at the latest, the start of the 2021 season—there's really only been one first-round quarterback over the last decade (Johnny Manziel) who hasn't been entrenched as his team's starter by the start of Year 2.
