The Green Bay Packers have one of the NFL's best quarterbacks in Jordan Love. A lot of people just haven't noticed yet.
That's the case Fox Sports' Henry McKenna laid out in a feature on the Packers signal-caller, arguing Love is badly underrated despite counting stats that don't jump off the page.
The disconnect is the whole story. Love's touchdown totals and yardage have dropped, but by the numbers that measure how well a quarterback actually plays, he's never been better.
McKenna's advice is to throw the counting stats out the window, and the advanced metrics explain why.
In 2025, Love's EPA per dropback tied for second in the NFL at .19, even with reigning MVP Matthew Stafford, per Next Gen Stats. His completion percentage over expected ranked fourth. His big-time throw rate of 5.8% was fifth-highest in the league, per Pro Football Focus.
