I think this brings up a good point. And also why I question how healthy the wheels really are. Maybe physically healed, but athletes always say the mental part of coming off injury is the hardest.

I didn't think much about Loves injuries after the bye when he started moving around better but after Sundays but after the Eagles loss someone on Twitter mentioned that maybe there's still some lingering problems there. Honestly it sounds about right with how much they played out of shotgun vs under center.

Love just sucks at running the ball with contact, like when he's looking to pass it, he's fine. But when he's pulled it down to run the ball, he fumbles a high percentage of the time when he has been hit while attempting to run it.

I want Love to get down before he's hit, not because he's a QB, but because he's fumbled too often when he's run it and been hit.

I think Love's issue is inconsistent footwork and inconsistent spiral, as sometimes it stays tight and goes further, and often other times it turns into a duck quick and falls short of the target.

Also it seems like Love needs to get into rhythm to maximize his skills, where when we're mostly just running the ball, he seems to struggle more throwing cold or out of rhythm.

Its all his mechanics. Even before injury, his throwing mechanics is what causes inaccuracy and ints. When he actually steps into his throws, hes efficent and accurate. But when he tries to play hero ball and throw off his back foot, its a disaster waiting to happen

LaFleur prefers to run out of Shotgun in 2024 season. The statistics show we got 5.4 yards a carry in shotgun and 4.3 yards per carry under center. I might have the numbers wrong, but it was +1.1 in favor of Shotgun.

Some were saying Josh Jacobs is more effective out of Shotgun.

But Love passes better when under center running play action and play action works better when run under center. Feels like a problem in trying to match guys strengths.

Love's mechanics are different than Rodgers, and Love's incorporation of Rodgers' throwing without feet firmly planted affects his throws more than they did Rodgers....so he needs to cut it out.


These flawed mechanics lead to inconsistency and inaccuracy,
When he steps in, plans and rips, he is terrific.
He tends to utilize the airborne delivery when he wants to put air under the ball, which is why many of his deep throw are underthrown.

The key to fixing a problem is realizing you have a problem, and I don't think he realizes he has this fundamental flaw in mechanics.
The network commentators feed this willful blindness by pointing out how Favre did it, then Rodgers did it, now Love is doing it....isn't that cute?!?!

Tyler Love wrote an article before the beginning of the season about an independent quarterback coach Steve Calhoun discussing how great Love can be. https://www.golongtd.com/p/jordan-love-will-be-an-all-time-great
.
I suggest that Calhoun,
along with MLFwork that chink out of the armour.
