Amidst this confusion, the organization is likely to go forward with their young rookie QB, Jordan Love. However, there has been some friendly chatter on the internet.

There were also comments about how he might replace Love:  “Yeah hes replacing jordan love.”

Finally, fans were relentless and said, “Lmfaooo still might play before Jordan love.”

All in all, fans did not seem to like the idea of Love going on to replace Rodgers. They even seemed okay with an NBA forward coming in instead of Love. While the comments section was wild, it is very likely that Love will be coming in as QB1 for the Packers. It only remains to be seen if his performance impresses or disappoints fans.
