Fans are loving Jordan Love. The QB has left no stone unturned in his quest to become the next A-Rod for the Packers. Yet, becoming such a legendary player takes years. Meanwhile, the fans are eagerly waiting for Love to take over the Packers. The fans also believe that it would take a ton of support from the head coach Matt Lafleur to get Love to Rodgers’ level.

Now that the Packers, who were one of the most iconic teams in the history of the NFL, are standing at a score of 2-3, pressure has gotten intense on the team. Amidst the ongoing losing streak of the Packers, a controversy was born on X surrounding the head coach Lafleur and QB Love.

“Is Matt Lafleur helping or hurting Jordan Love?” posted the IKE Packers podcast, giving rise to a new perspective on the QB and the head coach’s relations. While it was crystal clear that Love deserved no criticism from fans, neither did he get any, as the QB has been performing decently. Questions are on the head coach. As per Peyton Manning, when it was about Aaron Rodgers, everyone knew that he voiced his opinions. But Love being the positive player he is might not do so. “At some point, you got to be able to say ‘I just don’t like that play. It doesn’t make sense to me. Let’s keep working on it and let’s come back to it later in the season.’” said Manning, referring to QB Love.

The season has not been the best one for Jordan Love as he completed only 56% of his throws. With the Packers standing at 2-3, it is high time for Matt Lafleur. On the other hand, Coach Lafleur believed that Love had been an incredible player and learned impressive tricks under the mentorship of former QB Aaron Rodgers. But the fans have a slightly different opinion regarding Lafleur and his statement.

People have stormed the comment section of the debate, each chipping in with their own views. Speaking of Aaron Rodgers, Beardedgentlmn commented, “Aaron Rodgers helped Matt Lefluer.. he would not be .700 coming into this game if it weren’t for 12, now we seeing who Lafraud really is.”

Other users have already picked the side, which is not in favor of the coach. Douglas Willrett wrote, “Not helping, but hurting may be too extreme.”

Similarly, narchy4all believed, “He’s not a head coach. And I’m not sure he’s even a very good offensive coordinator.”

Some users criticized the Joe Barry defense as well. Blackfavre09 wrote, “It’s not LaFleur….it’s that damn Joe Barry Defense!! We can’t be on the field defensively for 20-30 mins back to back. Need players to step up and grab ahold of the torch that has been ignited!”
