The 2023 season went a lot better for the Green Bay Packers than many people anticipated.
Jordan Love performed well enough in his first season as the full-time starter to lead the team to the playoffs, winning their first postseason game against the Dallas Cowboys.
Love’s potential impact on the team was unknown coming into the year, but he proved a lot of doubters wrong.
Now that people have seen what he can do, there is a real chance that Love can keep this momentum into 2024 and beyond.
Mike Tannenbaum spoke boldly about Love’s future on First Take, saying he is “positioned to be one of the two or three best quarterbacks in our sport for a long time.”

While some might see this as a ‘hot take,’ Tannenbaum appears genuine in his approach.
He believes Love is the real deal, which could be a game-changer for the Packers.
This team has been blessed with elite quarterback play for more than two decades, and if Love can keep that train moving, it could yield great results for this organization, especially with the NFC North getting increasingly competitive over the past few years.
The Detroit Lions established themselves as a true competitor last year, making them a threat to the Packers’ chances of winning the NFC North.
The Chicago Bears will likely have a new quarterback next year, as will the Minnesota Vikings.
With this in mind, the Packers could be in a prime position to succeed moving forward, continuing their dominance over the division.
