Yea, someone is still gonna have to run the GB O for several weeks.
I wonder what Tannehill has left in the tank??? Can't be much. There's a reason he's unemployed currently.

I’m thinking more just any team.

This would be a positive outcome all things considered.

Yeah, I’m betting it’s week 5. Looked like a 4-week injury. That’s my guess.

Wonder if they start off bad, if they keep him out all year??
Their next 3 games are all very winnable assuming they have someone even halfway competent behind center.

They have Willis. Nothing is a gimmie and a bad start is very possible.

Currently 12 Team PPR TE+ 1 QBI tried to buy for that in SF. dude laughed.In SF I wouldn’t sell love for thatIt’s always a terrible time to turn down 2 firsts for Love.I picked a terrible time to turn down 2x2025 1st’s for Love….I picked a terrible time to trade for Jacobs.
Maybe he’ll get more work with a bad QB. Probably not.
but we voted to go SF in 2026 so today is value is questionable but Sept 2026 those 2x1st will look bad (most likely)
Grade one is same as Hopkins
2+ weeks then the next week the docs and trainers work him back til they're comfy
So we'll be looking for reports like those of Hopkins. Love practicing on the side, working with trainers, maybe gave it a go at practice for these drills etc

what? no. no chance of that at all.
Even if you're 0-5, and your 200 million dollar QB is ok enough to play, you don't sit him out an extra 13 weeks lol.

Why? By the time someone comes in and learns the playbook, Love should be back (unless he is more banged up then we know so far).
Ministry of Pain

That has big ripple effects on Josh Jacobs, Jayden Reed, Watson and Doubs
Malik Willis does not sound exciting
How many times did you watch his scenes when he got air time on Hard Knocks?
Don't worry about it.

My son said there were a lot of comments on Twitter about Love’s return, specifically referencing how tough it could be to wrest the job back from Malik Willis.

Guessing Clifford before Willis. More familiar with the offense and likely would run it more similar to Love.

From the same people who were calling for Clifford last year?My son said there were a lot of comments on Twitter about Love’s return, specifically referencing how tough it could be to wrest the job back from Malik Willis.

Oh he freaking blows man….they gotta sign a veteran.says 3-6 (I know its almost the same) but I'd keep him out all 6 and trot out Malik. If he blows then maybe rethink that but I rather not rush back my 220 mil QBx.com
Tannehill is out there and can hold it down till he gets back.

Why would they start the guy on thier practice squad instead of the guy that is the actual backup?
sho nuff
Footballguy
Familiarity with the offense where Willis was more that able to step in for a play or two. Its a guess only…
JohnnyU
Footballguy
Not if he only misses 3 or 4 weeks. How bad of a start can it be with most of the season left?
JohnnyU
Footballguy
I’m thinking no, but wtf do I know.
rockaction

0-5? Pretty bad, but nothing you’d sit a guy over, one thinks. But one never knows. Seems pretty unlikely on its face.
JohnnyU
Footballguy
Yes, unlikely.

By all accounts, MCL is tricky.. Say he is out 6 weeks and they start out 0-6, why risk a bigger injury by rushing him back? They probably aren't making the playoffs at that point.
I think you are going to start to see QB be treated by teams like big paid pitchers are in baseball. The owners have too much of a investment to throw them out in meaningless times IMO.
And for the record, I am not saying they do this, but just bringing the notion forward that depending on a bad start, it's possible they could, especially if his injury has a set back.
The Kerminator

This thread/forum is funny. On one hand, you have posters advocating that they have to bring in a veteran QB with Love out so not to hurt the development of the young WRs. And on the other hand, you have posters advocating sitting Love the rest of the season if the Packers have a bad record by the time he returns.

Are Love owners holding him to pickup a backup hoping he returns on the short end of the 3-6 week timeline or letting him go because he's a potential roster clogger during byeweeks on the long end?
No, just no.
The Cardinals brought back their injured franchise QB for his first game back when they were 1-8 last year.
this has been happening for some time.
but Green Bay has a pretty solid team. I think they can win a couple games. I'd be surprised if they went 0-6
maybe so, but Tanehill doesnt know the offense.Oh he freaking blows man….they gotta sign a veteran.says 3-6 (I know its almost the same) but I'd keep him out all 6 and trot out Malik. If he blows then maybe rethink that but I rather not rush back my 220 mil QBx.com
Tannehill is out there and can hold it down till he gets back.
its not reasonable to expect a QB to learn an offense in 1 week. even in 2.
Dobbs did it, but thats atypical. and likely he didnt learn the whole offense. he likely learned the base offense and a handful of special plays. and Dobbs main calling card is his ability to pick up an offense quickly. he has flaws, but this is one of his strengths. for that reason he will likely be a highly sought after backup for a long time

A lot of good points @karl.Racki
Maybe the Packers' owners realize they have an overpaid and overrated QB and are fine with throwing him to the lions.
Again, cards were 1-8 and brought kyler back. You don't sit a healthy qb for 17 weeks. The fans would go nuts for one thing.

I think you start your backup w2, see how he does and then reexamine. Best case scenario, Malik does ok and you sign a 3rd QB to either backup or replace Clifford on the PC.

So good luck Packer fans…..it’s gonna be a tough 4-6 weeks.
I think 3-4 is highly optimistic and 4-6 is realistic.
agreed. you gotta give the fans something to cheer for.
but what you dont do is rush your franchise guy back before he is ready. Kyler Murray was solid upon his return. and he got to shake off the rust. He will be better for having had that experience this year I think
Yep. Not saying rush him back, my only point was there's 0% chance they're going to sit him out for the rest of the season from this. That's absolutely a ridiculous notion.
he was. and may still be. but he knows the offense at least to some degree.Welp……Willis is god awful.maybe so, but Tanehill doesnt know the offense.Oh he freaking blows man….they gotta sign a veteran.says 3-6 (I know its almost the same) but I'd keep him out all 6 and trot out Malik.

this does not mean the team wont bring in someone. Especially if they think Willis cant get the job done. at the very least they need a warm body who can play in the event something happens to Willis.
Tanehill may be the better QB but he cant come in and start next week. hed need at least another week or so so Willis will get the start next week for sure. I dont see how he cant. after that, it depends how things go.
They may bring in Tanehill but they may trade for a guy like Dobbs who is known for his ability to pick up an offense quickly. Dobbs is the fast Band aid solution. if it turns out Love is out a bit longer than the initial prediction you may wanna bring someone in who can play all year. (just in case) and that makes Tanehill perhaps the better option

When he’s healthy - he plays. They won’t risk him, but when he’s ready he’s back out there. No reason to shut a healthy franchise QB down.
I drafted Geno and he has good matchups weeks 3-5. Don’t love him next week @NE so will make a one week pickup for that start.

More than 1/2 of his games have been brutal. Mix that with how he ended last season and you have a very mediocre (at best) QB who is the highest paid player in the history of the NFL. So yes, after one game, they regret this,

What constitutes a "franchise QB"? If you have 7 good games in 5 years are you a franchise QB?

They don't play the Lions until later in the season.
