Is Matt LaFleur going to bench Jordan Love?

Packers head coach Matt LaFleur is not ready to play the blame game just yet. While there have been calls for Love to get benched, it appears that the Green Bay shot-caller remains confident in his QB’s abilities. According to LaFleur, Love isn’t completely to blame for his team’s struggles to start the season:

“I think a lot of times the quarterback gets too much blame when you’re not scoring points. That’s just the way it goes, especially when you’re turning over the ball,” LaFleur said, via Jason Wilde of the Wisconsin State Journal. “It comes down to us getting into a rhythm offensively. We have not done that. It’s been choppy; it’s felt disjointed.”

The man has a point. At the end of the day, Love can only do so much. While it’s absolutely true that he’s responsible for a big chunk of the offense, his teammates need to step up as well.

As LaFleur implied in his statement above, their “disjointed” offense has got to be better moving forward. He’s calling on the rest of the team to also put in a better effort moving forward — and it’s not just Jordan Love.

Nevertheless, this also does not mean that the former Utah State standout is off the hook.
