Better first start the Allen, Luck, Herbert, Mahomes etc.
Let's take a closer look at Jordan Love's first Packers' start and the above statement.
Packers points scored per game, 2021:
3, 35, 30, 27, 25, 24, 24, 24, 7*, 17, 34, 36
*Jordan Love start: 7 points
Average non-Jordan Love starts: 25.4 points
Point differential: -17.6
F
irst Starts
Mahomes: Chiefs scored 27 points in a win
Allen: Bills scored 20 points in a loss
Herbert: Chargers scored 31 points in a loss
Luck: Colts scored 21 points in a loss
Love: Packers scored 7 points in a loss
Average points scored by QB's who did "worse" than Love in their first start: 24.8 points
Point differential: -17.8
So Love is
two touchdowns and a field goal worse than the Packers' average score in 2021, and
two touchdowns and a field goal worse than the above four actual NFL franchise quarterbacks whose first starts were supposedly not as good as Love's.
Positive:Second year player Love, in his first start, scored more points than their HOF starter did in week one.
Negative: Packer's scored 17 plus points less than their season average.
Questionable: According to this thread, Love's first start was better than Mahomes, Allen, Hebert,and Luck's first starts
Consolation: Love's first start, in his second year, was more points than two of rookie Justin Fields' Matt Nagy coached starts.
Analysis:That fourth quarter drive for a touchdown is looking lonelier and lonelier.
