It tends to take three seasons for a starting NFL quarterback to come into his own and prove who he'll be in the league -- and the time has come for the Green Bay Packers and Jordan Love.
Last season, Love didn't take the step forward many fans had hoped for, due in part to playing through injury and having lackluster offensive weapons around him.
Had Love started right away instead of playing understudy to Aaron Rodgers for his first three seasons in the league, the Packers could have more flexibility building a roster around a rookie-scale contract at quarterback.
