The Green Bay Packers will be entering a football season without Aaron Rodgers on their team for the first time since 2004.
With Rodgers now in New York, the 2023 Packers will be led by quarterback Jordan Love.
Love was selected in the first round of the 2020 draft with the idea that he would one day be their starter.
Well, the time has come, and all eyes will be on Love to see how he responds.
Playing quarterback in the NFL is hard, but playing it for the Green Bay Packers is even harder.
Love will be under constant scrutiny with every play he makes.
But the 24-year-old appears ready for the challenge.
According to Matt Schneidman, Love said: “Since I’ve been here, I’ve improved drastically.”

Sitting behind Rodgers for two seasons is a good way to learn.
But no one will know how much Love improved until he gets on the field.
Now that it is his team, Love should not worry about looking over his shoulder.
He will get the opportunity to play through his mistakes and try to learn from them.
Also, we should temper expectations for Love as this is essentially his rookie year as a starting quarterback.
Coming into 2023 he has only started one game, and that was a loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Also, he has only attempted 83 career passes.
Love will get the chance to show he is a franchise quarterback this year.
The Packers hope he can be the next guy in a long line of Packers great signal callers.
