The Green Bay Packers are a crockpot team in a microwave league when it comes to seasoning a quarterback for the toughest job in all of sports.
And that makes Jordan Love the NFL's most intriguing player — and most unpredictable wild card in a wide-open NFC North — as the league kicks off its 104th season with the Lions visiting the defending Super Bowl-champion Chiefs on Thursday night.
