The Green Bay Packers are having a dreadful season through the first two months.
Entering November, they have a record of 2-5.
All eyes were on Green Bay this year to see how they would do in the first season without Aaron Rodgers.
The Packers turned their franchise over to Jordan Love and he has not been good.
In seven games this year, Love is completing 57.7% of his passes.
He has thrown for 1,492 yards and 11 touchdowns with eight interceptions.
Many of the concerns people had about Love coming into the year have come to fruition.
But former Packer Greg Jennings believes people need to give Love more time to develop.
Jennings was on “The Carton Show” and said: “For any other quarterback, you expect them to have growing pains. Jordan Love is not being afforded that luxury.”

While this is Love’s first year as a starter, it is his fourth NFL season.
The Packers need to decide next year if they want to extend him.
Since he sat on the bench the first three years, he does not get a full rookie contract to show what he can do.
From what we have seen from Love it is hard to convince anyone that he is the guy.
But, with 10 games left in the season, Love must show significant improvement.
If he does that, maybe he has a future in Green Bay.
If not, the Packers will most likely be looking for a new quarterback via the draft or free agency.
