Sure, there’s always the possibility Rodgers will retire after this season, maybe if he wins the Super Bowl. But it’s really, really hard to see him passing on the $59.5 million in cash he’s guaranteed in 2023 if he plays. That is a massive pay day.
So as of now, the odds aren't looking great that Love will ever get his shot at succeeding Rodgers. Love knows this as he guides the team as the No. 1 quarterback in Rodgers’ absence during OTA practices. The most worth saying today is, he’s going to play a lot this preseason, and his performance will be far more important than the last two training camps. Rodgers’ third preseason is when he started showing glimpses he might pan out. After putting up 39.8 and 48.2 passer ratings in the ’05 and ’06 preseasons, he went for 106.0 in the summer of ’07. Then his play at Dallas after a Brett Favre injury late in the season convinced the Packers he was ready for his shot.
In Tuesday’s OTA practice that was open to the media, Love took a huge majority of the snaps with the starting offense. But most of the 11-on-11 drills were non-competitive and at less than full speed, so it was hard to glean whether he has improved much in the four months since the season ended. Calhoun isn’t as renowned as some other personal quarterbacks coaches such as Jordan Palmer, who is best known for helping Josh Allen with his accuracy issues; and Adam Dedeaux and John Beck, who at 3DQB have worked with, among others, Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Matthew Stafford, Matt Ryan, Dak Prescott and Zach Wilson.
Love’s priority after returning home last January was throwing more on balance. Looking back at last season, Love said he wasn’t as attuned to his footwork as he needed to be, in part from observing Rodgers daily. Rodgers is as talented a thrower as the NFL has seen with his ability to deliver the ball even when he can’t set his feet.
