All summer, members of the Green Bay Packers talked about “learning how to win” with youth scattered all across the offense and Jordan Love taking over a first-year starting quarterback.
Some called it excuse-making. Others believed it was the harsh reality of pro football. Peyton Manning won three games as a rookie starter. Aaron Rodgers went 6-10 in 2008.
Overcoming inexperience is hard, even for the greats.
Through five games, Love and the Packers are clearly still learning — oftentimes the hard way — how to win games and play winning football in the NFL.
