Jordan Love was set to make his first start for the Green Bay Packers in 2023, marking the first time in nearly three decades that a quarterback without the surnames Favre or Rodgers would start the season.
That is a lot of pressure to put on a young quarterback who has only made one start before the 2023 season. The Packers made a statement early in the season, going 2-1 and appearing to be ready to compete in the NFC North.
Since then, the Packers have lost five games and won one, hitting rock bottom and raising a slew of questions.
During this recent losing streak, the team has received criticism from both fans and the media. This was not the Lambeau Field performance that fans had grown accustomed to. It would be unfair to blame Love solely because no quarterback could replace Rodgers and what he meant to the Packers.
Even general manager Brian Gutekunst has expressed reservations about Jordan Love.
Christian Watson’s father, on the other hand, is taking aim at Packers fans.
Christian Watson’s father slams Packers fans in the midst of Green Bay’s losing streak.
Following the Packers’ 23-19 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, the second-year receiver’s father told Packers fans, “You all are about as bad as it gets, and I played in Philly with their schizophrenic fans.”
An intriguing remark, aimed at both Packers and Eagles fans.
Tim Watson, as previously stated, was a journeyman who spent three years in the NFL, one season overseas, and one year in the Indoor Football League.
This season, the younger Watson has 14 catches for 236 yards and one touchdown. The message comes during the Packers’ difficult season, and it criticizes Packers fans for their hostility and frustration with the team’s performance, which they have expressed.
Watson’s father is correct; the Packers have seen so much good football during the Favre and Rodgers eras that their fans have become hostile to poor performance. However, it is not uncommon or unreasonable for Green Bay fans to expect more from their team.
