But what are the options? Don't pay Love? They can't do that, mostly because of the second half of the season he had. I'm sure they wish he had more in the can to feel good about, but that isn't the case. The Packers have a lot invested in Love already: time, draft pick, development and now blowing up on a contact that will hurt them with cap space before he's done shit. The first half of the season he looked incredibly mediocre. Love is set to be the highest paid QB in the NFL by doing what exactly? lol, its a little crazy. But this is where the NFL is currently with QB salaries.
Green Bay has no rookie QB contract to deal with now. This is where Atlanta will be with Penix in time. I know there are Viking's fans like you PF that basically have PTSD with Green Bay and you already think Love is a Hall of Famer, but I'm telling you he's still unproven. He's talented, there's zero denying that physically. But lets see what happens with expectations and film on the guy.
So here's why I'm high on JJM: Metellus said, 'JJM has always figured it out and he'll do so in the NFL' and I agree. His mindset and background back that up. The exciting part is JJM has as much raw talent, arm, athleticism and mobility as anyone else. The upside is huge. This isn't Mac Jones. What about Baker Mayfield? Is that a good investment? Maybe. But at least he's shown something, I'd rather invest there than give a massive contact to Trevor Lawrence.
Jordan Love is a talented dude. Lets see how he is when the league has full tape on him. And that is this year. Jordan Love went to Utah State, for crying out loud. He hasn't won shit. When JJM has some NFL experience under his belt, its the NFCC game and its 3rd and 8, it will seem familiar to him. Love?
I'm telling my wealth manager to put Jordan Love stock on hold. Then I'm telling him buy as much JJ McCarthy stock as you can get your hands on.

I'm not convinced Love is the same level player that Favre and Rogers were...Hence this whole post.
I agree, they dont have a choice but to pay him - but how much????
More than Trevor?
= to Burrows?
More than Mahomes???
Danny Dimes $$$???
I dont think its easy where to slot him pay wise - good luck GB

Actually he was terrible the first half of the season. In the second half he did play great. The Packers will be making a decision for a huge contract based on about 9 or 10 games that he played good. Many QBs can have a good run and maybe for a whole season, but not too many can keep it going year after year. I am totally with sticky on this, way too early.

You guys are in denial if you still think he is no good. You would be wetting your pants if JJM has that good of a first year as a starter. Only one QB last year had more TDS than Love. He is a talent.

Who's saying he isn't good? I understand that you like to bag on anything remotely positive about the Vikings and hype whatever their rivals are doing, but it was a tale of two halves for Love. All most are saying is how is one half a season of good ball worth being the highest paid QB in the NFL?
Hang in there, I'm sure there'll be some negative Vikings news soon to jump in on and post about, maybe even enough to wet your pants in excitement over.

The next in line after Favre and Rogers? Thats qb royalty to fill.

None of that matters. He's a definitely a guy above the keep/replace line, so he'll get paid market when the time comes. How much that is specifically depends on when it's signed much more than how "good", "great" or "elite" anyone thinks he is. It will definitely be in the same ball park as the Burrow and Lawrence contracts.
Personally, I hope he cuts their throats and the J-Love we saw weeks 1-8 is the guy that shows up in 2024.
